Hello

As you have seen there is a pic thread for 64-65 pro touring chevelles. So I think the should be one for the 66-67 chevelles to :thumbsup:
I donīt have any pics, but please show us the pics that you have.

I don't really classify it as pro-touring, but that's the best description that fits it. A description is on my webpage. :)

I would like more photos and information on these two convertibles that were posted.

Any link or information to that 67 Chevelle that was sold??

I need to do something different with my convertible.


____

Here ya go, Tony ;):

Ah yes, My baby... :(

Funny, because after being gone more than 3 years, I still don't have too many regrets from selling... Just a little twinge now and then when I see it...

I always worried that the buyer was just going to flip it, but he's actually a '66 enthusiast ( and a VERY nice guy), and based on his other cars, he'll do great things with my old convert. He's already done a lot of little changes to make it his own.

Does anybody know what brand these wheels are? I know I have seen them before.

Sorry about that Todd.....I gave the mailbox a small purge. If you don't mind could you provide the link as a few others have inquired about the car as well.....In fact I wasn't able to find it again myself......:clonk:

Wow you guys have some realy great chevelles!

I found it doing some searching out on the internet and found it, Funny thing is, there was a link right here in the team chevelle classifieds. I didn't notice that until later. that would have been much easier ;)

I checked out your website and it's full of great info and mods. I am curious what wheels you've had on the car. I saw a few different styles mounted, especially a 5 spoke, that I think would be cool on my 66 (it's in a picture on your site, SSR's on the front and this other particular 5 spoke style on the back). Care to share the Brand/Model.

Thanks,
Kerry

These?

Hi Kerry, You've got PM
These?

You might get flamed now for posting this :D but I do share your taste in cars!

Hopefully the guys in the P-T section can appreciate a badazz car when they see one. Shoot, could be yours with a couple changes. I could only wish.

Probably have seen our 66 on other posts, but here it is at the Motorstate Challenge. The picture of the four was the same weekend. Ours is closest, next is Chris Jacobs then Herb Lumpp, and Bret Voelkel's Ridetech 66.

What exactly does Pro Touring mean?

What exactly does Pro Touring mean?

It's like answering the meaning of life or "what is love?" but here's how I see it.

Pro-Touring is generally used in describing a car who's every function has been improved. Handling, horsepower, braking, driveability,creature comforts, etc. are modernized in some way, shape or form. P-T cars range from budget builds to high dollar projects. The easiest identifiable characteristic of a pro-touring car would be wheels (normally 17-20") and a lowered stance but...BUT...throwing on some 18's doesn't make it Pro-Touring just maybe "inspired by" (No offense to those that this statement includes). Generally, if you were building a Trans Am car with a 60's muscle car and modern components you're right in the heart of Pro-Touring. The are all kinds of interpretations though.

There has been discussion (and argument) on what HAS to be there and what doesn't but I hope that's a decent description. Like Pro Street was to drag racing, Pro Touring is to more of a road racing type car. Lots of times the goal is to be equal to or surpass the performance of a late model car.

Thanks for the clarification. I am sure that with every style, there is an argument.

Yeah. Guess it's just our human nature.

And for the record...you have a nice 66, no matter which category it's in. :thumbsup:

Here's my Chevelle going down the front straight at the Motor State Challenge...

What exactly does Pro Touring mean?

A direct quote from www.pro-touring.com (http://www.pro-touring.com) ...

Pro-Touring: A classic muscle car with enhanced suspension components, brake system, drive train and aesthetics, including many of the amenities of a new performance car; developed to function as well or to surpass the capabilities of the foremost modern performance vehicle. Pro-Touring cars are built with an emphasis on function and are intended to be driven. Whether they are driven on the street, the race track, the drag strip, or through cones at an auto-cross is of indifference; regardless of the location, pro-touring cars are destined to be driven.

...or that. Hahaha. A lot shorter definition than mine. :p

Here's mine - it has all the SC&C goodies up front, C5 discs all around, and we drive it all the time. I think it counts!

Here's my project I just started. I got it for a reasonable price, with a lot of good high dollar stuff already purchased. I really haven't decided what I want to do with the car. I am just putting together parts for it at this time, and I need to get it driving first. Then I'll start heading in one direction. I want a clean car that retains most of the original lines and feel, but has modern performance and drive quality.

Nice!! Anymore pictures you could post?

Well...here is my 66. I just got the wheels this week.

Thanks Larry, Those are Torque Thrust II's In 16X8 4.5BS and 17x9.5 5.5 BS
Thanks for the info on the wheel's Bruce. I bought a set of these for a 79 el camino i had which are 14x8 and now that i sold the el camino without the tires and wheel's, i got nothing to put them on. To small for the 67 chevelle unless i make it into a low-rider!!!! NOT going to happen!!! :D Thanks again and great looking chevelle. Larry

Thanks! Its a fun car! The wheels are 17's. 9.5" in rear with 5.5" BS and fronts are 8" with 4.5 BS. Tires are 275/50 and 225/50

I drove it yesterday for the first time with the new rims/tires. Huge improvement in response. No rubbing at all. Car has Hotchkis springs front and rear.

Hey Motivational, what size are the tires and rims on your car, thats what im looking for.
Thanks Brian

18x8 with 5 inch back spacing and a 245/40/18 tire in front.
20x10 with 6 inch back spacing and a 275/35/20 tire in rear.

With 10" is that min tube or what did you do for clearance?

As always here on Team Chevelle, all I can say is I'm impressed. Great job guys!

Hey Mike. I like the stance. What are you running for a rear spring?

With 10" is that min tube or what did you do for clearance?

10 inch wheels fit with the proper offset. A little close to the fender lips but it fits. I do it all of the time.

ok Here's mine.

Awesome look! Pro-Street look is where Pro-Touring was born from. Ofcourse, it's taken on a life of it's own. But if you notice the Pro-Street forum is a sub-forum to this one. That's the reason! :)

I remember back around 1995, there was a pro-street 1966 Chevelle making the rounds. It was Seafoam Green! It was pure intimidation! Slammed Stance, Fat tires in back. It inspired me! I had pics of it hanging in my office from a magazine. Stared at it everyday...

Does anyone remember who that was? Or does any one have any pics?

Thanks for the compliment, i am just getting it finished up, took about 5 months and have redone everything on the car except paint.

Talking with a local buider L&H Kustoms about buidling some headers and then it will be ready to fire.

I have had that truck awhile now and really enjoy it, good driver and people really like those year chevys.
