1958 Chevrolet Delray - Show Winner Garage Kept Motors is pleased
to offer the cleanest 50's Chevy's we've ever brought to market.
This vehicle has always been a West Michigan car and has
approximately 31k miles on the body. The car was originally owned
by local legend Bob Dueling who raced the car from 1959 to the mid
60's. In 1963, a brand new 409 motor was installed and our client,
the genius behind the restoration, bought the car in 1973. He then
sold it to a friend in 1977 where it sat for almost 20 years, with
only 250 miles recorded. In 1995, he bought it back but didn't
start the restoration until 2010. And wow, the results are
stunning. Since the restoration was completed in 2014, this Delray
has been honored with the Street Rodder Magazine TOP 100 Award in
2014, which means it was the best 100 built cars in the country.
The car was also featured on the cover of Summit Racing Magazine
for their May/June 2016 issue. Further, it has been featured in
several Hot Rod Magazines, such as Lane Automotive Best of Show,
Best Paint, and Best Engineered Awards in several car shows. The
fit and finish on this car is flawless. Our client also painted the
1961 Impala and 1959 Corvette listed for sale on our website. The
work is the nicest we've ever seen. The Delray underwent a full
frame off restoration with some tasteful modifications, including
gas filler being relocated to inside the trunk and all emblems
removed from the hood, trunk lid, and quarter panels. Body was
painted in self-named Bright Ass Red with Diamont base coat, clear
coat. The interior was professionally assembled by LA Trim of
Lowell, MI, which also features custom interior door handles by
Lokar, Alpine stereo system, Vintage heat/defrost, new EZ wiring
system, LED tail lamps, Analog gauges by Dakota Digital, and Ididit
tilt steering column. All exterior trim and bumpers have been
re-chromed and all exterior stainless steel has been buffed and
polished to mirror finish. Now onto the powerplant. This Delray is
pulled by the desirable Z11 block 409ci/400hp V8 engine,
professionally built by CD Engine Service of Hudsonville, MI.
Upgraded components include March pulley system, Sanderson headers,
Tri-Power carburetor system built by Hotrod Carbs, Great Falls
Montana, and Larry Fulton Inc, 2.5-Inch Exhaust, Almunium Radiator
with electric fan by Cooling Components, and Mallory ignition.
Every thing is tidy and works with perfection. As the odometer
indicates, the car has only 1,956 miles since the restoration. The
chassis is supported by CPP A-Arms, CPP 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with
Chrome Master Cylinder, Ride Tech Air-Ride System, Un-I-Steer Power
Rack and Pinion steering, Posi Rear End with 355 Gears, and Borg
Warner T10 Transmission with 4-Speed shifter. The frame was
completely smoothes with boxed trailing arms and custom pan hard
bar painted with base coat, clear coat. Overall, its a phenomenal
machine. With all known ownership history and top build accolades,
you could not come close to sourcing and building this vehicle for
the price offered here. It is a stunning example that will drop
jaws wherever taken. This is a no disappointment vehicle for a new
owner that understands quality craftsmanship. Wouldn't she look
great in your garage? Be sure to check out all the photos and video
