Vehicle Description
There are some things that should never go away. Some are timeless
classics. They have been embraced as irreplaceable parts of our
lives and culture. '71 Chevrolet trucks are making their way into
these categories, as is the venerable small block Chevy engine.
This truck brings classic elements together in a way that's
thoroughly contemporary -- a hallmark of a great design. There are
small blocks, and then there's the 400 -- known for its bottom end
torque and its bottom end construction. It runs at a high level of
tune with the latest goodies from MSD, Edelbrock, and Hedman. And
it looks right in Chevrolet orange paint with color-keyed valve
covers and air cleaner. A chrome V-belt and pulley kit looks great
and is extra functional. Two belts around the water pump and
alternator pulleys keep you on the road. Meticulous engineering is
evident in other fundamentals too, like the new wiring, or the fuel
system for instance. A new 20 gallon aluminum tank was fabbed and
relocated to the rear of the truck. The fuel makes its way to the
carb through new fuel lines and AN fittings. Then an MSD box and
distributor make sure the fuel burns efficiently, and the result is
performance you can feel. Some timeless artforms that many fear are
disappearing are gold leaf paint work, air brush work, and
pinstriping done by hand. The custom paint on this truck showcases
them all, and the result is magnificent. They serve to enhance the
simple but effective red and white paint scheme without
overpowering it. A cowl induction hood imparts a performance
flavor, and a premium Line-X bedliner preserves utility. Gianelle
luxury wheels with a diameter of 22 inches accentuate the gold,
while staggered size Nitto tires - 265's in front and meaty 285's
in back finish the exterior. The interior is all-new. The
couch-like seat is only the beginning. The comfort level rivals
that of the most luxurious modern truck thanks to a generous list
of amenities. Power steering -- with tilt, power windows -- with
tint, and JL Audio properly pamper occupants. Intelligent design
and great discernment regarding what to upgrade and what to leave
alone make this truck a great choice. It looks great, drives great,
you can haul stuff in it, and it will maintain its value for years
as you enjoy it more and more.

custom vehicles. We have more than 200 vehicles in our collection

that all buyers who are unable to view a vehicle in person have a
pre-purchase inspection done prior to purchase. Inspections can be
performed by an independent party selected by the buyer. Due to the
age and uniqueness of these special vehicles, it is difficult to
