Travis Kelce didn’t drive THE getaway car to the Chiefs’ “Sunday Night Football” game against the Los Angeles Chargers at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

However, he was behind the wheel of another sweet Chevrolet Chevelle.

Some Chiefs fans might recall that when superstar singer Taylor Swift made her first appearance as a fan at Arrowhead Stadium last year, she left with Kelce in his 1970 Chevy Chevelle.

That’s a convertible and fans swooned as they drove away into the night.

Swift wasn’t in KC on Sunday night because she was playing her final Eras Tour concert in Canada. Kelce drove another Chevelle to Arrowhead, and this one also had special meaning to him.

It was a 1969 Chevelle that was turned into an all-electric car by the students at Operation Breakthrough’s Ignition Lab along with the folks at the MindDrive.

Kelce’s 87 & Running Foundation has long supported Operation Breakthrough, and it’s a big reason why he is the Chiefs’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

That Chevelle was on display at Kelce’s Car Jam in early October and it could be yours. It is being raffled off as a fundraiser for Operation Breakthrough and you can enter here.

This is a closer look at the car.
