'64 Chevelle Twin Turbo

[Nvrenuf]

Many will be asking... Why? and why so soon? Its a compilation of reasons. But mostly, I bought the car in its form to save me from taking on a project that would never get done. But now, I have met such awesome people in the "industry" and molded into this hobby, that I just have to tackle a project. I have a few ideas in the works and I love the creation/design as much (if not more) than having the finished product to drive.

Professionally built by Jason Pecikonis of Timeless Kustoms in Camarillo, CA. Jason is currently building only cars above the $200,000. When completed, it was featured in 2 magazines:

When I purchased the car, I just had to do more to it! Most notably, I ripped out the old Accel Fuel Injection and replaced it with a FAST XFI Fuel Injection and a FAST sequential distributor. Bob Ream of Imagine Injection in Scottsdale, AZ then tuned the car with its current mild 6 psi boost setting to receive 464 RWHP and 511 ft. lbs of torque. Many billet parts were added, such as the billet door strikers and the Fesler Billet Hood hinges you see in the pics. All the chrome on the car has been "de-blinged." All chrome or polished pieces, including engine compartment, trim, wheels, bumpers, etc. have been hand brushed to get an incredible, modern look. These are just some of the few touches I added to make a great car an AMAZING car! Since completing my transformation, I have only attended 2 shows, winning them both. It received the "Mighty Muscle Pick" by Billet Specialties, Inc in 11/08 at Goodguys-Scottsdale. In 02/09 it received 2 awards at the Albuquerque SuperNationals Indoor Show: 1st Place Muscle and Outstanding Engine.

Wow. I didn't think this car would be sold again, especially this soon. Best of luck to you, hope your next project goes well!

Thanks Jason! It's tough. I'm still wishy-washy on it. My wife calls me a "girl" because I change my mind daily on whether I should just keep this one, or continue on with all the ideas in my head. We'll see where it all falls. This car is awesome and I love it. But I definitely have A.D.D and can't focus on 1 thing very long.

Beautiful car. Good luck!

Good luck Jason! Building them is definitely the best part, wishing I could build another soon.

Man, I am just the opposite. I am so damn ready for my car to be done after 2+ years of being built so I can actually drive it. And I am not anxious to do another build again - will probably buy a finished car or near-finished!

I couldnt agree more Dave

Good luck with the sale.

I felt the same way and mine took a span of 5 years to build, I've just come to realize that even though those were sometimes fustrated and anxious days, I miss em! I guess I like the creative side of the hobby.

That's cool. Trust me, I wish was enjoying the long process of the build more! :lol:

Jason I cant beleive you selling it! I do totally understand that you want to take on a project of your own, there is nothing like driving something you created with your own two hands. My brother just sold the first car he ever built just to start building another. Thats the fun part i think. Good luck with the sale man.

[sick65]

Good luck with the sale...I sold my 65 this past Saturday. :rolleyes:

[gearheads78]

Such a sweet car for a great price. I love the thinking, building, design process too and will probably put mine up for sale to afford my next project. If only I could afford to keep this one and build another.

[rdalley]

Ill trade you for my 64 project.

[Nvrenuf]

Ill trade you for my 64 project.

Always a wise crack in the bunch:P

Thanks for all the well wishes. It really is a tough decision for me. The major factor I avoided to tell for fear of sounding like a wuss, is that the guilty conscience is taking over. I have a young family, and its just too much car. I really need to be into a car about 1/2 this price. Then it would be perfect! I could enjoy it much more without feeling so guilty about my kids college savings, the economy, it sitting in the garage, kids being threatened with their lives not to touch it, etc. etc. etc. But then, every time I drive it, like this past weekend, I think there is no way I could get rid of it. It is a blast to drive, and I have to admit.... I LOVE all the stares it brings:thumbsup:

[MarkM66]

Did you sell it?

I've cought it on ebay a few times lately.
