Description:    There is only 1500 miles on this award winning car since the professional rebuild of the car. Every nut and bolt has been out and replaced. The frame has had the front spindles changed to 2” drop that now have power disc brakes. There are new motor and transmission mount brackets, new rear shock crossmember. The rear springs have been relocated in to allow more tire clearance. All has been sand blasted and painted semi gloss black. The original California car body was taken down to bare metal, epoxied inside and out, then the inside floor boards and roof got coated with bedliner prior to getting insulated. In building this car I was going for a 60s mild custom look, to that end the hood has been peaked and shaved, the trunk has been shaved and a power lock installed, the fuel door has also been shaved and a Rocky hinge power unit installed on the left tail light. The fender seams to the front panels have also been molded in. The engine turned inserts from a 64 Impala are now in the side trim, in the aftermarket 59 steering wheel and in the dash trim panels. The red is a 59 chev color and the white is a ford color using Glasurit acrylic eurathane. The engine is a 70 chev 350 4 bolt main with a scat crank, 8.5 to 1 compression pistons so you can run regular gas, roller rockers, wiend timing chain cover, Elderbrock intake and carb, Heddman coated headers, magnafow mufflers. The transmission is a rebuilt 700r, the rearend is a rebuilt ford 9” with 370 gears. For the comfort that us old folks need there is vintage air and heat, power windows, remote power door locks, delayed wipers on the up graded link rod system, chrome tilt colum, grey tinted glass, am/fm stereo with 4 speakers. The original seats have been custom upholstered by Showtime auto upholstery as is the trunk with its hiding spot built in for your polish rags. In summery this is a fresh professional built car,with a fresh professionally bult 383 strockermotor that Dynos out at 320 hp and 388 torque, proffesionaly built 700r, professionally built ford 9’ with 370 gears, power disc brakes upfront, 605 power steering, drop spindles, reworked rear springs, new glass, new seals, new, replated or polished trim, Smoothy bumpers, cool power taillight, custom upholstery , custom paint and body work on one of Americas most sought after cars
