Stunning Garage Built '65 Chevy Chevelle | The Definition of a Restomod

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- I've been waiting over a year to shoot this one and stoked it finally happened! Other than paint & body our friend Denver built this car with help from friends in his garage and driveway. It's a stunning '65 Chevy Chevelle and is truly the definition of a restomod. Still look fairly classic yet everything mechanically has been done and although the interior looks fairly stock it's far from it including a number of elements from TMI Interiors so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Thank you for the video, I found out that investing is not for everybody, you just need a strong stomach too see your portfolio go down. It might be wiser for a novice to start with copy trading investing, but it is not easy. To invest in growth stocks it is another level, definitely you need to know what are you doing.
From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
This is a phenomenal advice for a new stock traders and investors who want that quick short term game, but don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
@@Charlotte77683I've been solely investing in real estate. But with the recent hyper home pricing i've liquidated a few things and have $45k in cash laying around idle. Would love to get your recommendations, I'm in search of something lucrative in the current crazy markets, i will be glad.
My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in, plus i dont do that by myself. i follow the trades of Mrs Karen Gaye Gray.
She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.
One of the greatest body styles to come out of Detroit!!!
I agree with you 100% the rear fenders resemble 1968 Impala removable fender skirts. My brother had a 1964 Malibu SS and it was absolutely gorgeous.
Agreed. My first car I ever bought when I was 14 was a 65 Impala Sport Coupe off my old lady neighbor, Artesian Turquoise outside and in, with black and white houndstooth centers, was nothing crazy, just a 30yr old car bone stock at the time with a tired 100k mile 283 SBC and.....a Powerglide 2spd auto 😅 but it was mine, the interior was damn near mint, and the exterior from 10ft looked amazing (paint was tired, but would've easily came back around with some manipulation)....had it parked out back of our house, was out there every day cleaning it and driving it around the big oak tree in the center of the back yard until I got my license in another year (had it for 1yr at that point, 16 would've gotten my DL)....one day after school, my friends came over through the back balcony like usual (my house was the party and chill house) and my buddy Jeff said, as soon as he walked in, "yo man what happened to the Impala??" I'm like "what??" We had a rainstorm the night before, I go out onto my 2nd story balcony and notice, hmm, why's half the oak tree missing..... F'ing huge tree broke in half, fell directly on top of my baby....it was absolutely crushed.... the entire roof, the hood, the entire front clip was bent downward and buckled, windshield busted out, doors were bulged out and open at the top, it was literally F'd....of course, if it was now, and I had the money, there's a high likelihood it would've been saved, but that many decades ago, me being a kid, there was nothing I could've done.... I sold it to my friends dad and he parted it out and gave me some of the money from the part out as well because he felt terrible (he was really into classic GM's and had a few cool 60s through 80s GM cars and trucks). I ended up buying my mom's 82 Regal Limited off her for my "first" drivable car, then a gen 1 series 2 GSL RX7, all before I was 17 as well as a Silvia S12 Notchback..... still nothing compared to that 65 Impala 😖
65' was a great year for Chevelle 🏁
That little Malibu has just enough power to have a ton of fun without the lunacy. Open the dumps and hear the song of my people. What a nice build.
Best looking car yet
Very well done! Someone finally got it right with leaving all the classic elements with just the right amount of fun stuff that doesn’t take away the old classic look! Bravo!!
Perfectly balanced
Just perfect. I was smiling just watching at home nevermind being in the actual car. Congrats on such a great build and video 🤝
You know what would really set that car off?? 3 Prong knock off' center caps!
now that would be the TOTAL PACKAGE.🔥🔥
Makes me wanna start rebuilding my 65 Chevelle after a incident a few years ago. One of the best looking chevys ever made.
Certainly THE best looking Malibu.Hands down, no comparison. The 64 was a clay practice model, the perfectly proportioned (ahem) and drop dead gorgeous homecoming queen was the ‘65.
What they did to the 66-67 was the 65 stunner a few years after graduation, and just a caricature of what she one was…
This is ALL friendly opinion!!!
I’m biased, I had two, 45 years ago. My dream would be to build a Z-16 clone… convertible, restomod. Has to be evening orchid but more pearly, white interior of course
Interior is the perfect balance of modern/classic which is really hard to perfect but he done an amazing job. Also love how the harness looks like it could’ve been a factory package.
When your only complaint about your car is the brakes being too good, you know you’ve built something special.
now this is my kind of muscle car wow totally insane
So clean and cool
Wooooo! That is Championship level build! Like seriously... if I just won a Superbowl or something like that, I'd just wanna cruise and relax in something like that all offseason....
It’s a beautiful ride. Love his attitude with the car. Well done
Smooth out the firewall, fill in all the little dINGS, trash the yellow lights, it's not an emergency vehicle then it's a 10+ beautiful
car, love the color, engine, AWESOME DESIGNED CAR. GREAT JOB!
Perfect color,stance, wheels,and interior. Elegant,refined build.
You nailed it
This '65 is next level. Can see the love and attention that has gone into this build. All the insecurity about choices made.. some guys are just hardwired with talent for this stuff.
The 65 Chevy Chevelle was the first car I owned. I drove it during my high school years.
Usually, I do not like big rims on US classic cars from '60/'70 but here, it's the perfect choice. 😊
What a machine!
My mom and dad adopted me at two weeks old. I rode home from that hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee, in a tuxedo black w/white interior 1965 Chevelle SS 327 four speed. I attended hundreds and hundreds of car shows growing up. Seen thousands of cars. The 65 this guy built is so CLLLLLLEAN and perfect imo. Of course i gave a soft spot for them. But this is just different. The wheels, color combo choices, and everything else. Its the perfect 2965 Chevelle imo.
on this channel there really are no bad episodes. all are very nice to watch and very entertaining
That LS engine is Perfect…looks original 65 to the car but under that hidden is the modem LS! Great way to restore a car keeping the heritage look
The stuff men dream about.. Simply stunning. Clean, updated yet still has the "smell"... killer.
Perfect restomod
This is the nicest build I've ever seen. Since Tim Allen's Copo Camaro
Man, what an absolutely beautiful and tastefully done car!
Absolute perfection and simplicity, and this here, is how you do up an LS in a classic, I've been saying this for years, it looks crazy popping the hood of a 60s car and seeing a crate LS1, 2, 3, LT4, LT5 with a stock intake manifold, or a roots style blower.... you can make 500-700hp naturally aspirated and still have it look "correct". Absolutely perfect 👌
It's completely mind boggling that so much attention to detail went into this amazing ride and the firewall was totally ignored 2:25
Beautiful car. Perfect resto. 525 hp is all you need nowadays. Cool wheels. Magnificent.❤❤😘👍😁😎
Any more power its hard to use, never was impressed by the big hp stuff. Its just a number and cant just mat it.
Stunning. Might be one of my favorites.
Me too!
Beautiful Ride! Nice build Denver! Sean, thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it. He nailed it on this
This Modern Classic is knocked out of the park! Great work, Denver!
That is a sexy beast ! I'll admit that the the 65 chevelle is my favorite but that car is spot on ..... the car itself, the engine, color, stance on sound ..... it checks every box. Very well done ! 🍻
Beautiful machine, definitely a dream weekend vehicle for me
Really beautiful ride
Great ride. The way the man built the car is truly awesome, with great touches on the car. Really do respect what this car represents very well done 👏.
If I were rich and the Chevelle was Canary Yellow, I'd be calling the CHP to report the theft of my car. Best '65 restomod I've ever seen. Thanks for bringing my dream to life. There is no better restification than one that doesn't show!
Terrific execution there Denver
WOW. '65 Chevelle is one of my favs and this build is unbelievable. You really feature some of the coolest cars out there.
Beautiful Chevelle!
500 bhp in my 2017 ATS-V is plenty for me. Every time I stomp on it, I have a huge grin on my face!
Man, she is clean! I love it! 👍👍
Awesome 65 chevelle ! Thanks for sharung
Thanks for watching. Beautiful build
That is one clean baller 65 Chevelle man...wow!
Bad ass build. I’m curious about the storage. That looks like a process to get your car out to go for a rip. Awesome channel, probably my favorite car channel 🤘🏻
That’s my friends storage place. Mines a little easier to get in and out thankfully
My first car in 1974 was my aunt’s 1965 Malibu SS. Love it
Cool first car
I can't believe I've never seen this episode. I absofuckinglutely love this car. I'm building a 65 SS in about the same way as this car. those wheels are incredible. great great job on this.
Bluetooth mufflers are absolute bonkers. Love it
Those are really cool
The color combo & interior is superb...😎🖤
Beautiful build
Looks like just come out from the factory, it's a beauty!👏👏❤
Beautiful is right
Great car! Great Owner! And of course another great video!
Thanks and agreed on the owner and his Chevelle
I love all the cars on this show but this one is absolutely beautiful! The color combos are amazing! This guy did an amazing job on this car I'm speechless!
I'm a factory original purist who hates the big resto wheels and pancake tires. That said, I love what you've got there. Looks awesome.
Such a beautiful build. Very well build and it inspired my 65 build.
Awesome! He really nailed it. Been looking forward to this one for a while
Amazing build, Love this Chevelle!!! 😍
Me too!
COOLBEANS!!! ONE OF THE BEST GARAGE BUILDS WE'VE SEEN!
STAY FROSTY
DTIAFG!!!
My first car was a 1965 Chevelle. I loved that car. It had the MOST beautiful gauges I’ve ever seen. I loved driving it at night. I should never have sold it. It’s a long story, but I regret it. This is the best looking 65 Chevelle I’ve seen in a long time! The color is phenomenal. Almost what I’m going to paint my ‘59 Fairlane. This is quickly becoming my favorite one on this channel.
Awesome! He did such a great job on this Chevelle
Beautiful build
Super clean😍...people get caught up in hellcat and demon power numbers but forget it's all about power to weight ratio. Also until wheels and tires are old tech 450-500 is the sweet spot for most full size vehicles 💨
Another great video. Rapidly turning into 1 of my favorite TH-cam channels!!
Thank you! Gotta credit my crew for knocking it out
Shout out to Sean for making light of what metal dashboards do to your face! I respect your humility a lot. Love the earth tone color, super retro LS3 and the Tremec. Tasteful application of skill here. Love the Varex and ecuts. The best of both worlds!
Thanks. Gotta laugh about lessons learned. Denver sure built a beauty
Beautiful and tastely built Restomode, The builders you've been showcasing lately are really knocking it out of the park ❤ 😎🤙
$6,000 Hoonicorn wheels on a '65 Chevelle, How fkn cool is THAT ! ! !
Wow now I love 65s.
Made me feel the same way
This is so balanced in every way . Its gonna start and work like this virtually for ever getting driven 5k a year just like this and similar to buying a common modern muscle car left stock except its got way more occassion, class and individuality .
The engine is perfect and it is not gonna break all the time or need down time to fix anything. No weak links in the power train and drive line and like a stock modern muscle car you can get on it without worry all day every day for 20 years at 5k a year and it will deliver what it delivered today which is a lot for any intellectually honest person and you know at least 19 of 20 people who mention power dont drive anything that boogies like this with this level of matched components that work and create this feeling and performance . Its built to put the key in , get fuel and have fun in style .
Its just a balanced set up and not missing anything . Car boogies and isnt on the verge of coming apart or needing fiddling every time you drive it and get on it .
BALANCED , like biying a fast oem car but with character and that thing you will never get off a showroom floor as a one off .
PLENTY OF Dead reliable POWER . And perfect level of traction for RWD MUSCLE your gonna use as a street daily driver head turner custom . Not a thing you can nock that isnt preference or your personal lack of taste .
another marvel..with again the smart & fantastic choice to go 6 speed manual..the driving pleasure & rewards of going through those gears with such a great motor....foot in or just cruising in 6.....
Dude, your channel is crazy with builds. Just because they're realistic 💯
Why is horsepower so much fun? It's a transfer of energy from the car to you... It's science💪🏆
WoW! Beautiful Hot Wheels Just a Stunning car in every way!!! 😀
Looks like a mighty fine mean clean machine to me, thanks for sharing 😎🇺🇸✌🏽
Very tasteful done what a achievement
One word; beautiful.
Just the way I like them. I’ve said it time and time again it’s hard to improve on the styling of American muscle the way they came out of the factory so leave well alone. Job well done 👌👍
100% agree. They did a pretty good job!
What a great car! Still not 100% on those wheels or the seat belts lol...but it is well thought out and a nice ride for sure.
harnesses look kinda ricerish to me but its not my car. Overall incredible build
Reliable and stylish!!! Can't go wrong ☺️🍻🍻 well done y'all 🤠✌️
I like Mr. Miller's attention to detail on his ride..... you don't see cars like this often.... that exhaust setup is very unique, and he's got an LS3 in there.....sweet 💯
Very clean build
@@AutotopiaLA yes indeed
Wow, i just love that car! 👏👏👏😍
Me too 👊
Absolutely one of the nicest manual 65’s I’ve seen ! The engine looks insane !
It’s a flawless beautiful build
@@AutotopiaLA you probably get this a lot but do you guys ever have police issues ripping these cars around lol ?
This is truly one of my favorite restomods, this is what I want, it’s not something crazy collectible people are after but it has three things that I eventually want in a car 1) Classic 2) V8 3) Manual gorgeous car
This build is so aesthetically rounded and pleasing, both inside and out. Love the gauge cluster and how it ties in with the exterior. Great back story on this car as well and the amount of time that went into this makes me tired thinking about it.
Great car and great episode. Thank you!
Puts my 65 to shame….maybe after my 3 kids finish college I’ll dump some real money into mine…great ride! I did upgrade to the same gauges, their beautiful.
I love how after the crash , you still showing beautiful cars
Not stopping at all. That crash was well over a year ago and we’ve shot a bunch since then and will keep it going
I have a 79 Chevy step side hopefully I can make it to autopia with my 79. Once I get it to where it needs to be love your guys channel. Keep up the beautiful work brothers.
@@AutotopiaLA Dont see why theres always a few that gotta bring it up ea vid you shoot.
Safety police can stuff it. lol
@@gordocarbo people are much tougher when typing than they are in person lol! Shit happens…move on or quit. Obviously we just keep having fun making videos of cool cars with cool peeps
Super awesome car great job. putting my 65 chevelle together right now can't wait to get it rolling.
The wheels have a look that reminds me of mid-'60s luxury-car hubcaps. And the stance of the car is perfect. Very nice.
VERY well built!!!! Great looking car!
22 seconds in and I feel the need to say gorgeous. You tell me what I think of this beauty
he did a great job on this car.
Love the car! But even with the cutouts open you just don't get the sound of an old school big block or small block engine
A thing of beauty mate.🇦🇺
It's perfect. I love it.
Classic but modern. Very elegant 👌
Very tastefully done, I love how this car turned out to be a fun daily driver & show car!!
Wow would love the car in my garage
.
And I appreciate seeing originalCalifornia plates or that era.,.
I know I owned 5Malibus in Southern California. After 1974
Gorgeous car! Looks to be very well thought out.
Okay I haven’t even watched the video yet and l’ve already pressed the like button!!!
Beautiful build. Regret not tubbing the rear of my 65 pontiac when i had the chance.
Awesome build, very classic looking Chevelle so clean looking, great job!!!!!!!!!!
Super clean class ride
Great video. Love the behind the scenes
Gorgeous!
The exhaust notes on this beast!😎👏🏻😲
Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful! I think this might be one of my favorites on your channel Shawn....as a Volvo owner I FULLY support this color 😁👌Who needs more that 583 HP anyway, where are you going to use it if not on a race track. Perfect comes to mind, this car is perfect. Well done Denver!👏
I totally agree. Class clean beautiful build
