Rick Graf isn’t easing into retirement — he’s speeding through it in style with his striking red, big-block 1967 Chevelle. Rather than going for flashy aesthetics, Rick focused on performance where it matters most: on the road and the track. Under the hood, the classic big-block V8 paired with a factory four-speed transmission delivers timeless muscle, while modern upgrades like power steering, power brakes, and A/C add comfort for long cruises and weekend car shows. After 14 years of ownership, Rick has fine-tuned his Chevelle into the ultimate blend of vintage charm and modern drivability, making it the perfect companion for shows, cruise-ins, and spirited drives.

To truly unlock this Chevelle’s potential, Rick upgraded to Speedtech Performance’s Track Time suspension package, transforming its handling and ride quality. Up front, tubular control arms, billet tie rod sleeves, and Viking double-adjustable coilovers deliver vastly improved geometry and tunable damping. Out back, adjustable trailing arms, Delrin bushings, and a matched set of coilovers keep the rear planted and compliant. A stout sway bar setup — 1 5/16-inch up front and 1-inch in the rear — keeps the Chevelle flat through the corners, while Wilwood six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes ensure confident stopping power behind 18-inch chrome wheels wrapped in Nitto rubber. For Rick, retirement isn’t about slowing down — it’s about driving faster, farther, and with more control than ever before.
