Vehicle Description
You know how much of an icon the Tri-Five Chevys are, but you can
already tell there's something extra special about this 1956
Chevrolet Del Ray. It has a super-sleek and fresh style that just
tells you it was made for more powerful cruising. And when you look
under the hood, the award-worthy presentation of the motor also
hides an awesome fuel-injected LS7 motor. Add in four-wheel disc
brakes, an upgraded suspension, and an A/C interior, and you can
see how this is a thoughtful and complete restomod build.
The two-tone Viper Red and Lake Shimmer Silver color combination is
exactly how you want this classic to look. The luster on extra
luster is courtesy of a more modern respray, and there's so much
detail work that it's the smoothest steel you'll likely ever feel.
It sets the tone perfectly for how you want to be seen in this
coupe - a great classic that has been enhanced for more "look at
me!" attitude that happened back in the day. But more than just
nostalgia, make sure you take some time to look at how it gets the
fundamentals correct. All the body panels have an excellent fit,
the doors close with authority, the glass is clear, and the chrome
king bumpers shine like mirrors. But this cruiser can do so much
more than just let you live your American Graffiti fantasies. Those
large Billet Specialties alloys are staggered 18/20-inches
front/rear for intimidating presence. And the rear is even mini
tubbed so that you can get the right low and aggressive stance.
The flame red tweed is a terrific way to present the interior. It
continues the sporty style of the exterior while adding comfort.
This sleeker feeling continues with details like the upgraded dash
trim and custom door panels. You'll even appreciate details like
the taut headliner, plush carpeting, smooth dash, and working dome
light. And this is a true driver's car with an upgraded tilt
steering column, Lokar floor shifter, and full set of Classic
Instruments readouts. This has well-integrated upgrades, like how
the power windows operate off the classic crank handles. And there
was a custom console integrated under the dash so you could add the
air conditioning vents and AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input. You also
have Cool-It insulation matting and Kicker speakers that make for a
better all-around sound experience. But your favorite soundtrack is
likely going to be the one that starts under the hood.
We don't have to tell you the motor is special. All that extra time
they took to give you a smooth and tidy style in the engine bay
lets you know this is showcasing an awesome powerhouse. The
fabricated valve covers and velocity stacks make this one look like
they installed an old-school street-eating powerhouse. But this
shining motor has plenty of secrets. It's actually a more modern
LS7 motor with upgraded heads and an Enderle 8 Stack fuel injection
system. So you have the classic 454 cubic-inch displacement but in
a unique and fresh package. And this is supported by the best
pieces, like steel braided lines with AN fittings, a Mallory
distributor, billet hood hinges, a Powermaster alternator, and a
Griffin aluminum radiator with electric fans. As you look at the
undercarriage photos you see how this restomod is clean over every
inch. And you'll also spot upgraded suspension components, like the
upgraded front A-arms, Gabriel gas shocks, lowering springs, and
rear traction bars. There's also a stout TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission with a 3500 TCI stall, drilled & slotted
Wilwood four-wheel power disc brake package, and rack & pinion
power steering.
This is a true one-of-a-kind build that's meant for a true
enthusiast. If you can handle all the attention this Chevy
commands, hurry up and call now!
