DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION: Obviously a professional build, the fit and finishes are very impressive throughout. Built with obvious attention to detail and craftsmanship, only 2,700 miles since finished. It features countless upgrades throughout from air conditioning to leather upholstery. The fit, finish, and overall presentation make it clear this was a labor of love backed by a serious investment.
EXTERIOR: Black paint has no mercy, and this Chevrolet wears it exceptionally well. The body is absolutely laser straight, and the gaps are precise. The glossy black finish reflects like a mirror from every angle. The beautiful rounded body lines and desirable pillarless hardtop roofline showcase some of Chevrolet\'s best styling of the era. For a cleaner custom appearance, the hood and decklid have been shaved of their trim and emblems. The remaining stainless trim has been professionally straightened and polished, the chrome was replated. The stance is absolutely spot on! Sitting slightly lower in front, it has that timeless California custom look that perfectly complements the flowing body lines. It\'s rolling on polished Billet Specialties knock off spinner wheels wrapped in BFG tires. Additional custom touches include smoked glass and nostalgic blue dot taillights. This car has presence from every angle and is impossible to ignore.
INTERIOR: Inside has a clean, nostalgic look that perfectly complements the exterior. The two-tone painted gray metal dash and trim maintain the character of a classic \'50s Chevrolet, while tasteful upgrades make it far more comfortable. The fit and finish throughout are every bit as impressive as the exterior. The seats are upholstered in beautiful two tone gray leather. The front bucket seats recline, and the driver\'s seat is power operated. The custom leather door panels feature a vintage inspired design that looks right at home in the car. Premium carpet covers the floor and is protected by matching floor mats. New original style gauges fill the dash, while the air conditioning and heater controls operate through original style knobs for a factory inspired appearance. A custom steering wheel sits on a tilt column, and seat belts are provided up front. The ceiling features Bel Air chrome ribs accented by a new headliner and sun visors. For entertainment, a stereo system is cleverly hidden inside the center console, while four speakers are concealed behind perforated openings in the door panels and rear package tray. The result is a beautifully executed interior that captures the spirit of the 1950s while delivering the comfort, convenience, and quality expected from a professionally built custom.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wow! That\'s the reaction most people have when the hood goes up. The engine compartment is beautifully detailed with sparkling chrome in abundance, surrounded by glossy black finishes that make everything stand out. At the heart of it is a GM Ram Jet 350 crate engine producing 351 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. It combines modern fuel injection technology with a nostalgic appearance, making it the perfect choice for a classic Chevrolet. The distinctive Ram Jet intake and fuel injection system are chromed, along with the valve covers, alternator, and air conditioning compressor, creating a stunning presentation. It also features power steering and power brakes, making this Chevy as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire. An aluminum radiator and electric fan help keep temperatures under control, while neatly routed hoses and wiring give the compartment a clean, uncluttered appearance. Stainless hardware has been used throughout, further showcasing the quality of the build. Every component looks thoughtfully placed and meticulously detailed, making this engine compartment a showpiece in its own right.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are slick black paint. Inside is boxed and upholstered in leather that matches the interior. It also uses the same premium carpet. The battery has been relocated to the trunk and is hidden behind the panel.
UNDERSIDE: The chassis has been thoroughly upgraded to provide modern road manners. Up front is a Heidts independent front suspension with adjustable coilover shocks and rack and pinion steering, dramatically improving handling and ride quality. In back, it rides on leaf springs with lowering blocks and upgraded shocks, giving it the perfect stance while maintaining comfort. The braking system has been upgraded with power front disc brakes. A custom stainless steel fuel tank feeds the fuel injected V8, and a custom dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers delivers a great performance sound. Looking up at the motor it has an extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. Power is routed through a proven 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission and a rear end equipped with 3.55 gears, providing strong acceleration around town and relaxed highway cruising.
