1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 Deluxe

This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 Deluxe channels the spirit of a pursuit special, with its powerful big block and four-barrel carburetor ready to leave the competition in the dust. But it’s not just about power—this police car tribute has been meticulously restored to ensure it stands out at any car show while delivering the full law enforcement experience.
The first thing that catches your eye is the stunning black paint. It’s not just any black—this finish is crisp, sharp, and exudes the professionalism of a patrolman’s uniform, gleaming with a luster as bright as a rookie’s shoes. The restoration was a serious investment, ensuring that every detail was true to its purpose. The dog dish hubcaps, clean grille, and shining chrome bumpers set the stage for a standout classic. Full-length trim highlights the car’s clean body lines, while the authentic police features elevate its tribute status. The red lights in the front grille and rear deck, along with the CB radio antenna, complete the look, and the Detroit Police livery is period-correct but removable if you want to customize it.
Inside, the fawn-colored interior maintains its original character, thanks to a restoration that included new carpeting, headliner, door panels, and two-tone seat covers. The rear seat, often a place for offenders in a cruiser, is spacious and comfortable—perfect for family and friends when it’s time for a parade. The authentic feel is carried throughout, with a steering wheel that fits comfortably in your hands, a smooth wide-speedometer, and a crisp turn signal lever. The center dash features controls for the lights and siren, adding to the vintage atmosphere, while the classic CB radio sits proudly in the center console.
Under the hood, the V8 engine shines like a beacon of power within the glossy black engine bay. Although the air cleaner suggests a 396 cubic-inch engine, this Chevelle is equipped with a 454ci V8, a subtle but significant upgrade. It breathes deeply thanks to a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and the stainless-steel dual exhaust produces a satisfying V8 growl. While the engine bay has the authentic period-correct look, there are thoughtful upgrades, such as the upgraded radiator designed to keep the engine cool during high-performance drives. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and 12-bolt Positraction rear end with highway-friendly gearing ensure this Chevelle is as enjoyable to cruise in as it is powerful. Even the brakes were rebuilt during the restoration, making this tribute both clean and practical.
This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 Deluxe is a true showstopper. With all the right police car details, a period-correct restoration, and a powerful 454ci engine under the hood, it’s built to turn heads and provide an unforgettable driving experience. Complete with title documentation, this tribute to law enforcement style offers the perfect mix of authority, power, and classic appeal—an opportunity that’s too good to pass up.
