Kansas City teens transform vintage car with Travis Kelce’s support

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
A unique project is changing lives and sparking innovation for Kansas City teens, thanks to a restored 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle and years of hard work.

The car, discovered abandoned on a farm near Springfield, Missouri, has been fully rebuilt and transformed into an electric vehicle. Over the course of three years, 81 students from Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City nonprofit, worked to bring the car back to life.

About 60% of the metal was replaced. It’s a complete frame-off restoration. Everything was replaced or restored,” Qureshi said.

The project received support from Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who, through his 87 & Running Foundation, helped fund the rebuild.

The revamped Chevelle is a marvel of engineering and design. It features a digital dashboard modeled after the car’s original 1969 interior and has already gained recognition. The vehicle won Best in Show at its first competition in Austin, Texas.

“It was a huge honor,” Qureshi said.
