There’s no doubt comedian Kevin Hart has an amazing car collection. He’s always adding to his garage, too, but this 1966 Chevelle with an LSX engine swap, called Darkness, is one of the more amazing rides we’ve seen of his. Timeless Kustoms allowed YouTube channel Autotopia LA to not only get the lowdown on the car but even drive it on public roads.
These are Hollywood’s muscle car enthusiasts.
One of the amazing things about this build is the shop didn’t alter the body at all. The base Chevelle was a real SS with the 396, but the panels were essentially perfect. A few tweaks were made, like the drip molding, tucking the bumpers, or making the hood scoops functional vents.
Hart likes cars that really hit hard, so this Chevelle with a 454ci LSX V8 with an LS9 supercharger mounted up top is pushing things at 750-horsepower. With the blower only putting out 9 lbs. of boost, the muscle car could easily be pushed to whip out far more power.
But Hart is looking for some monster muscle car. He wanted a good highway cruiser and that’s what he got. This thing even has a 4L80 automatic transmission. We’ve heard Hart isn’t a fan of rowing through gears. While we don’t really understand that, it’s his ride so he can have it set up however he likes.
The last time we’re aware of Kevin Hart letting someone else drive one of his custom muscle cars it’s didn’t turn out so well. We notice this time around the comedian didn’t ride in the vehicle, but Sean also didn’t crash. It makes a difference when someone knows how to treat a high-powered, rear-wheel-drive ride.
This ’66 Chevelle looks sweet with its dark, sleek appearance, so be sure to watch the video and check it out in action.
