Vehicle Description
1954 Chevrolet Custom
The classic 1954 Chevrolet was the final year of this body style
with a huge change for Chevy coming in later models. You can easily
see the influence the car had on the 55 that was to be designed
next as it has a more boxed look with a flatter nose then previous
years. This very cool 1954 Chevrolet takes that classic vintage
look and adds a certain toughness to it. It is definitely more of a
hot rod than the typical boring cruisers you see. Painted in a
Black and Red color combo this classic looks great driving down the
road. The car was just gone through 750 miles ago with the body,
drivetrain and the interior being redone. The chrome work is all in
great condition with a custom bumper found in the rear. The correct
Chevrolet badging is found on the hood but look close and you will
see the deck lid and doors have been shaved of any trim. This gives
it a pretty cool look and gives you the perfect canvas should you
want to add pinstriping or graphics to the trunk lid. Because the
door handles were removed, remote door poppers open up the front
doors giving you access to the interior. Another really cool custom
feature is the suicide rear doors that were extremely well done.
This echos the style of 4 door Mercurys and other classics that had
factory rear suicide doors. If someone didn't know this wasn't
offered on the car then you could easily fool them by how well it
was customized. All of the glass on the car has been accented with
a nice tint that works well with the Black paint. It has a great
stance and mounted on all four corners are American Racing Torque
Thrust wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich tires. Some of our pictures
were taken when the car still had Red Corvette rally wheels.
Under the hood is a fresh 350 V8 that was brand new when installed.
It was built up with a slight cam and performs very well. It has a
look that is cross between new age custom and old school. Newer
style billet and chrome is in place with features like cool flex
hoses, Chevrolet valve covers, that all look great. The old school
comes in with the 3, 2 barrel Rochester carburetors sitting on top
with small chrome circle air cleaners. Other nice components found
under the hood include the chrome power brake booster, March
serpentine belt system, and after market radiator. The car has an
AWESOME sound especially with the added electronically operated
cutouts giving you the option to route the exhaust through muffles
or straight from the headers. Backing up the engine is a new 700R4
automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and sends power back to
the rear wheels through the 4:11 rear end. The suspension system on
the car was very nicely done with adjustable coil overs and a
Fatman front suspension up front. The car is very comfortable to
drive. To go with the power brake booster, Wilwood discs were added
up front. This a long with power steering makes this car very
enjoyable.
The interior of the car utilizes leather bench seats with Red
upholstery and carpeting that is all new. The dash has been
finished out and is nicely painted Red with beautiful chrome trim.
Nostalgic style Classic Instruments gauges make the perfect
combination for the unique billet bezels and a tachometer was added
as well. An Ididit tilt steering column is in place and is topped
off with a polished GT Grant steering wheel. A Lokar shifter is
mounted to the floor board and clicks through the gears with ease.
The door panels were redone as was the headliner, package tray and
trunk. The car was offered up for sale previously with an
incomplete interior but now the only thing it lacks is a finished
out AC system. Everything has been plummed and ready to go so even
that isn't going to be hardly any work at all. Dynamat insulation
was added throughout prior to the interior being installed. The
battery was remotely mounted in the trunk and sits in a very cool
custom Coca Cola battery box.
This is a great looking classic that is ready to be shown and
enjoyed. It has a lot of curb appeal and runs down the road
well.
