NZV8 Feature – Charlie’s 71 Chevelle
In just 8 weeks start to finish, we completed a full panel and paint and LS1 conversion on this 71 Chevelle.
Real Rides is a full-service restoration workshop based in Silverdale, Auckland.
We specialise in customising and rebuilding 1950s–1970s American and Australian muscle cars — including Holden, Ford, and Chevrolet classics — from heritage-inspired restorations to performance-driven resto-mods.
In just 8 weeks start to finish, we completed a full panel and paint and LS1 conversion on this 71 Chevelle.
We built this 67 Chevelle Malibu back in 2021, before it found a new home with Richie down in the South Island. Now it’s back for a few more modifications.
