Anthony Campbell’s 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle is less a classic cruiser and more an unleashed storm on four wheels. Built in his own garage, the car merges old-school grit with modern engineering to create a machine that can melt tires faster than most cars can find traction.
At the heart of the Chevelle lies a forged LS2 V8, strengthened with Texas Speed internals, LS3 heads, and a high-performance intake manifold. Twin six-millimeter turbos feed the engine, pushing power to an astonishing 920 horsepower at the rear wheels. The force is channeled through a Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end tough enough to handle the abuse.
Despite its violent performance, the Chevelle remains road-ready. It runs on E85 fuel but can switch to 91 octane when needed. A full UMI Performance Stage 5 suspension with Viking coilovers helps the heavy muscle car stay planted, while Wilwood six- and four-piston brakes bring it back down to earth.
Campbell finished the car himself, coating it in Agate Grey — the same color seen on a Porsche 911 GT3 — and welded in a 10-point roll cage to reinforce the original chassis. The result is both stunning and intimidating.
Inside, the cockpit balances comfort and control with C6 Corvette seats, Dakota Digital gauges, and handmade details, right down to the cup holders. Every inch bears the mark of its builder’s precision and patience.
But make no mistake: this Chevelle isn’t a showpiece. Campbell drives it hard, whether on camera or on a grocery run. The car represents something increasingly rare — a street-driven muscle machine that’s both brutally fast and unapologetically personal, proving that raw craftsmanship still rules the road.
