Finished in black over a black vinyl interior, this Chevelle comes from the selling dealer with a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

Originally finished in Regal Red (code R), the body has been refinished in black. Features include chrome bumpers, a big-block hood, dual rearview mirrors, a fender-mounted antenna, wheel opening and rocker moldings, and rear body trim. The selling dealer states that a few minor flaws are present in the exterior finish; those can be seen in the gallery to the right. A walk-around video is available below.
