Vehicle Description
105 bhp, 235 cu. in. OHV inline six-cylinder engine with dual
carburetors, three-speed manual transmission, coil-spring
independent front suspension, live rear axle with semi-elliptic
leaf springs, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 115
in.This custom Chevy is very well crafted and combines excellent,
custom vintage features with modern hardware. Aside from its
gigantic 18-inch Cragar mag wheels that are wrapped in Z-rated
Nitto tires, it appears mostly stock from the exterior. However,
the laser-straight body panels have been finished with PPG Super
Black paint, and the original stainless and chrome have been
refinished to better-than-new quality.Under the hood, a rebuilt
235-cubic inch, inline six was updated with hardened valve guides
and topped with an Offenhauser intake and dual Holley carburetors,
along with a custom exhaust system that includes Fenton Headers,
Borla mufflers, and side-exit tips. A 12-volt electrical conversion
and electronic ignition allow for easier start-ups. The chassis was
further updated during the body-off restoration, when it received
two-inch dropped spindles, a 12-bolt differential, and a stainless
fuel tank mounted in the rear. Its manual steering and brakes have
been retained, as has the three-speed manual column-shift
transmission.Other notable features on the car include soft black
and white leather material for the seat covers and door panels, a
stock dash, seat belts, Vintage Air climate control, and smoked
custom glass. Neat as a pin best describes this tasteful custom
Chevrolet.
