Vehicle Description
This 1973 Oldsmobile high-top ambulance is powered by an original
Oldsmobile 455ci Rocket big-block professional series engine
mounted to an automatic transmission and has 44,000 original miles
(mileage not indicated on the title). It has its original interior
from the headliner to the equipment for rear compartment (power,
heat, gurney mounts). It sits on a 1977 Chevy 3+3, 4-door long-bed
4x4 chassis with heavy-duty Dana 60 axles. Truck frame was gone
through very carefully to ensure no cracks or worn out parts. This
custom rides on V-Tec Raptor chrome wheels wrapped with Mickey
Thompson Baja Radial ATZ tires. Two rear tires are brand-new with
less than 100 miles. The ambulance has emergency lights and siren,
and is finished in fresh and wild True Fire Flame paint. This is a
one-of-a-kind completely airbrushed paint job done with
custom-mixed House of Kolor pearl paint. The flames are a 10-layer
system that took three days at 12 hours per day to airbrush, and
are layered over a black base and covered thoroughly with clear.
The two-toned top is a one-of-a-kind mix of a red metallic base
with purple, blue and violet. The mural on the back is also
hand-painted. This paint job is the real thing - no wraps or
stencils. Paint was laid the second week of June 2012. This vehicle
has many other custom one-of-a-kind features, including a Hurst
shifter, heavy-duty push bar, running boards, louvered side panels
to hide the dual frames, multiple switches for the lights and
sirens, emergency lights, flood lights, spot lights, custom
curtains, dual exhaust with cherry bombs and a heavy-duty electric
cooling fan.
