"Relentless" - 1967 Chevelle (source hubgarage.com)

This is “Relentless” a 1967 Chevelle built by Novelli Rod and Custom and owned by Robert Dixon back in 2009. The car was shown at the 2009 San Francisco Rod and custom show where it won First in class, Outstanding Engine compartment, and House of color Outstanding Paint award.

The car is fitted with a LS2 engine, normally seen in Corvettes, and the power has been increased with the addition of a Magnacharger and hotter cams. The engine is bolted to a 4L60E tranmission delivering the power to the road through a pair of Billet Specialities wheels wrapped in G-force TA tires that are sat within the tubbed out rear-end. The suspension was custom built for this project and the chassis was modified to allow for the bigger wheels at the rear.


Inside the car the dashboard is adorned with Autometer gauges and an Ididit steering column that has a Billet Specialties steering wheel fitted to it. The interior was upholstered by Barry Ward and features Le Carra seats.
