Never mind the fact that when Chris Verbeke first laid eyes on this ’65 Chevelle SS it had purple flames and lots of rust. The apple of his eye had a spellbinding 350 small-block with a Dyers 6-71 blower and bug catcher protruding through the hood—and boy did it make the sweetest sounds.
Being a journeyman printer, Chris was pretty darned good with tools. This Chevelle SS might throw him some curves, but having previously cut his teeth on a ’55 Chevy half-ton truck resto, this Chevelle wasn’t going to put up much of a fight. Using nights and weekends, Chris spent time in his garage fixing the body, getting rid of the flames, and painting it Electric Yellow.
Mechanically, the SS has a Turbo 400 with a 3,500-stall converter, a 12-bolt rear with 4:10 gears, stock suspension, and a four-wheel disc brake conversion from The Right Stuff. Chris estimates the power from the 350 (which sports a COMP cam, stock iron heads, and twin Holley 600s) to be right at 500 hp.
