Vehicle Description
A radical 1950 Chevrolet custom street rod known as "Victory;" was
a Ridler Award contender, Great 8 award-winner and has amassed
numerous prestigious awards. Built over a 10-year time frame, this
Chevrolet was turned in to a rolling piece of art. Dreams of the
Ridler Award were largely successful, as the car placed second in
Ridler Great 8, alongside cars built by the likes of Chip Foose,
Troy Trepanier and Dave Kindig. Taking First Place at over 28
prestigious shows, its victories include the PPG Dream Car Award,
First Place at Carlisle and numerous Super Chevy wins. The fascia
is completely transformed with Mercedes headlights and a custom
chrome grille. From the forward slope to the snug-fitting metal
front bumper, absolutely everything is modified in some way. A
highly modified hood fits the look perfectly. The roofline,
including front and rear glass, is borrowed from a Dodge Neon,
though most would be hard-pressed to identify the shape thanks to
the alcoves that been carved out in front of the C-pillars. Every
inch of trim is shaved in favor of the clean look. Everything is
smoothed with subtle taillights. The rear is tucked neatly against
the body and features routing for the custom exhaust system. The
amount of bodywork involved in the creation of this car is
incredible, but the execution is amazing. The glossy two-tone paint
features PPG Chianti Red on the upper and Lamborghini Orange to the
lower portions. Orange paint continues onto the floor pans,
suspension components and frame. Predominant colors are broken up
by airbrush work that simulates a thin strip of chrome trim and a
small graphic featuring crossed flags reminiscent of the Corvette
logo. Behind the logo, marbleized orange paint fills the gap
between the airbrush work and a magenta stripe that is outlined by
hand in neon green. Apparent from the PPG Dream Car award, the
paint is stunning and shows incredibly well from all angles. Power
comes from a fuel-injected 502ci big-block Chevy from Street &
Performance producing over 500hp before the addition of a COMP
roller cam and custom sheet metal intake manifold. Up top is a
custom stainless air intake designed for this car and painted with
the same PPG paint, as well as aluminum heads and custom chrome
valve covers with carbon-fiber inserts. Except for the neatly
tucked spark plug wires, there isn't a visible wire in this bay. A
polished radiator hidden by a custom body-matched panel that covers
the front of the bay. The car has Hooker headers, custom polished
stainless exhaust and Stainless Specialties mufflers. The
undercarriage is as wild as the body. Featuring a fully polished
TH400 3-speed automatic transmission with B&M torque converter,
it has a Mooneyes Smart Shift system with a digital push-button
unit. It has a polished Mark Williams rear end and a chrome 4-link.
