Vehicle Description
When it comes to current automotive trends, nothing's hotter than
resto-mods. The excellent blend of timeless style and big
performance afforded by tastefully upgraded classics is simply hard
to beat! Sporting an awesome combination of old school swagger and
thoroughly modern underpinnings, this sweet 150 follows the
resto-mod formula perfectly. As the beneficiary of a thorough,
ground-up restoration, the car has been completely reworked to
include a massaged chassis, a hot small block, a tough Richmond
5-speed and incredible, chrome-laden aesthetics. If you want a hot
classic that utilizes great technology to create an unforgettable
driving experience, check out this killer Chevy!
BRIGHT AND SHINY
Sealed in brilliant Viper Red two-stage, this slick Chevy sedan is
the beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration that wrapped
in late 2017. In addition to great alignment, the car's svelte body
features show worthy aesthetics that are the direct result of fresh
trim, classy emblems and showy bumpers. And those striking details
have been carefully married to a collection of surfaces that is
much nicer than anything that rolled out of the factory. At the
front of this classic, a guarded bumper protects a polished grille,
which points clear parking lamps beneath a mirrored "V" and
stainless-trimmed headlights. Above that grille, a familiar Jetbird
hood topper leads the eye to like-new glass that's sealed behind
polished trim, polished wipers and a short antenna. At the sides of
that glass, a clean profile hangs electronically popped doors amid
small mirrors and simple trim spears. And at the back of the car, a
second guarded bumper reflects a frenched tag and cool Blue Dot
Taillights.
GOOD AND QUICK
Toss this resto-mod's hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of mean
Chevy small block that, fully rebuilt in early 2020, creates
roughly 300 horsepower. At the top of that body-matched mill, a
polished Chevrolet air cleaner centers a trick bowtie wing nut on a
coated MSD throttle body. That fuel injection feeds a polished
intake and hot 882 heads, which hide quality roller rockers under
polished, Chevrolet-branded valve covers and a polished breather.
At the back of those heads, a Comp hydraulic, flat-tappet cam
twists an electronic distributor, which bounces spark between a
polished coil and loomed Taylor wires. Those wires fire .040
overbored cylinders to push eight flat-top pitons. At the sides of
that compression, coated block hugger headers make quick work of
charred dinosaurs. At the front of those tubes, a billet March
serpentine drive spins polished power steering beneath a polished
alternator and a polished AC compressor. In front of that drive, a
lightweight PRC radiator utilizes corrugated hoses to push water
around quick-spinning DCM puller fans. And virtually every facet of
this 150's clean engine bay exists to maximize the car's
performance and appearance.
CLASSIC AND MODERN
Behind the 350, a fresh clutch kicks a tough Richmond 5-speed,
which spins a factory Drop Out Axle that's finished with an open
differential and 3.55 gears. That spirited drivetrain rides a
factory chassis that's supplemented with trick drop coils. That
suspension gets steadied by power rack-and-pinion steering.
Power-assisted stops are provided by a polished booster, which
clamps body-matched calipers around a quartet of vented rotors.
Spent gases traverse aluminized tubes and aggressive turbo
mufflers. And torque meets the pavement through attractive American
Racing Torq Thrusts, which spin 235/45R17 Kumho Ecstas in front of
255/50R17 Kumho Ecstas.
STYLE AND FUNCTION
Between the doors you'll find a stylish leather interior that uses
traditional elements to polish modern presentation. Retrofitted
seats, sourced from a Pontiac Grand Am, stretch tight leather hides
around power adjustment for the car's driver. In front of those
seats, a carefully reworked dash centers a modern Kenwood CD
player, which bumps a quartet of crisp Pioneer speakers, between
modern air conditioning and upgraded telemetry. Under that dash, a
custom console surfs a speed drilled shifter on plush carpet.
Tasteful side panels front a sensible combination of power and
manual windows. And the driver spins a polished and half-wrapped
steering wheel around a tilting column.
Restored and ready to roll, this sweet 150 can be driven, shown and
enjoyed in any way its new owner sees fit. Featuring a stout small
block, an updated chassis, an overdrive transmission and a healthy
list of great amenities, the car is right at home tackling the
turns OR swaying the show. If you've been eyeing the resto-mod
movement patiently waiting for a sorted, incredibly appealing
classic, anticipate no longer!
