Vehicle Description
STK 2532 1929 REO Flying Cloud Street Rod
Ransom E. Olds created the REO brand of cars and heavy duty trucks
in 1905. The REO 'Speedwagon' truck line was legendary for its
toughness and reliability....and provided a great name for the rock
band. REO's innovations and engineering concepts, such as hydraulic
brakes, were far ahead of their time. REO produced their
automobiles through 1936 and the Flying Cloud was the top-shelve
offering. Our 1929 Flying Cloud was the recipient of a well done
restoration with a broad range of mechanical and cosmetic
enhancements, all meticulously carried out. The end result is truly
amazing. From the stunning Grey cloth interior to the beautiful
Dark Chocolate Brown exterior w/pin-stripping, nothing was left to
chance. Cruiser wire wheels, enormous chrome components and a
stylish dash with VDO vintage-style gauges are just some examples
of the craftsmanship that has gone into this vehicle. A catalogue
of convenience features includes Vintage Air, power moon roof,
tinted windows, Grant tilt wheel, Ron Francis switches, seat belts
and brass foot-rests/grab-bars. Gone is the 268ci straight-six
engine and 3-speed manual transmission. Power is now provided by a
GM LT-1 350 small-block. The engine, 4L60E automatic transmission
and rear differential (3.30:1) were donated by a 1995 Camaro Z-28.
The LT-1 has a Street and Performance belt system, shorty headers,
new Opti-spark/water pump and plenty of chrome. The fuel system was
refreshed with a tank cleaning/coating, lines and new fuel pump.
Suspension upgrades include power steering and 4-wheel GM power
disc brakes. The current owner (11 years) has taken meticulous care
of the REO and kept comprehensive maintenance/service records. This
is the 'Ultimate' version of the REO Flying Cloud and it will
vastly improve the value of your garage. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS
IS".
