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

[@OneofMyTurns]

One of the greatest body styles to come out of Detroit!!!

[@mikeh.753]

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.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

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 😖

[@HighOctaneSpeedShop]

65' was a great year for Chevelle 🏁

[@danorourke5184]

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!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Perfectly balanced

[@jeffhaddock4238]

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.

[@Charlotte77683]

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.

[@Charlotte77683]

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.

[@benjaminotto5711]

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.

[@jonathannowak742]

@@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.

[@Charlotte77683]

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.

[@Charlotte77683]

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.

[@tartancarme1182]

Just perfect. I was smiling just watching at home nevermind being in the actual car. Congrats on such a great build and video 🤝

[@andrewhammock8235]

Best looking car yet

[@01Surge62]

It’s a beautiful ride. Love his attitude with the car. Well done

[@brentsaddress]

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.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

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....

[@DrangeDragRacingTeam1967]

Makes me wanna start rebuilding my 65 Chevelle after a incident a few years ago. One of the best looking chevys ever made.

[@pkzenk2158]

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

[@EcoBoostd]

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.

[@jimk7882]

Perfect color,stance, wheels,and interior. Elegant,refined build.

[@AutotopiaLA]

You nailed it

[@user-bs4ck6zy8v]

This is the day I fell in love with this body type because normally I love the 70-72 generation but this car changed that notion for me. 😎

[@goldysgarage189]

Terrific execution there Denver

[@sabrom]

You know what would really set that car off?? 3 Prong knock off' center caps! now that would be the TOTAL PACKAGE.🔥🔥

[@noahlapuz3853]

there's something about 60's chevelles that is so majestic

[@thomasfraioli5797]

now this is my kind of muscle car wow totally insane

[@AutotopiaLA]

So clean and cool

[@theariesexperiment4642]

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.

[@fasstimes9122]

This is the nicest build I've ever seen. Since Tim Allen's Copo Camaro

[@michaelduschane2495]

The 65 Chevy Chevelle was the first car I owned. I drove it during my high school years.

[@NickV70]

This Modern Classic is knocked out of the park! Great work, Denver!

[@learysinsight9617]

The stuff men dream about.. Simply stunning. Clean, updated yet still has the "smell"... killer.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Perfect restomod

[@TOBYH]

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!

[@toolsfordarkness]

Beautiful Ride! Nice build Denver! Sean, thanks for the video!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Glad you enjoyed it. He nailed it on this

[@mrfaceforest]

Man, what an absolutely beautiful and tastefully done car!

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

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 👌

[@jp360ford2]

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.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Awesome! He did such a great job on this Chevelle

[@slomoking]

Stunning. Might be one of my favorites.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too!

[@deepjunkgarage]

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 ! 🍻

[@robhersey1796]

WOW. '65 Chevelle is one of my favs and this build is unbelievable. You really feature some of the coolest cars out there.

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

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 👏.

[@ronpeterson1478]

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.

[@RichieRichpobutproud]

My first car in 1974 was my aunt’s 1965 Malibu SS. Love it

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool first car

[@AptivaXP]

Usually, I do not like big rims on US classic cars from '60/'70 but here, it's the perfect choice. 😊 What a machine!

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

It's completely mind boggling that so much attention to detail went into this amazing ride and the firewall was totally ignored 2:25

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 .
