What a beauty! I love all the underhood details. This model inspires me to post some pix of the phantom '65 Chevelle Z16 wagon I built a few years back. It's roughly the opposite in concept to this one - This is a low-horse cruiser with appearance mods while mine is meant to look factory stock with all the go-fast goodies the factory could have equipped the car with. The body and basic interior are from one of the many reissues of the AMT '65 Chevelle wagon, while much of the remainder is from the Revellogram '65 Chevelle Z-16. I even used the front bench seat from the wagon kit (in modified form) to add a rear-facing 3rd seat, which was not available from Chevrolet in the car at all in 1965, just as a "Gotcha"! For mine to look anything like this good, I'll have to do some MAJOR work in the engine bay at the very least!

I'm going to assume you sourced the 250 from maybe Tumpiteer's Nova . very period what all with an aftermarket air- cleaner . You might have done a "Black - wash "on the grille so as to define the openings on that better . Outside of that , it's a contender . Ed Shaver

LOVE all the engine detail...nice color and paint job...but I'm not altogether crazy about the wheels. But then, I'm an old school old fart, so there ya go.
