Vehicle Description
1934 Chevrolet 2-Door Sedan
In the hot-rodding world, sometimes there is the school of thought
that the more flames that adorn the car, the better. Makes it look
faster! Key word here is look...then there is the other school of
thought that a sleek, shaved, chopped, simplified body, made from
fiberglass, with a powerful mill, a slick transmission, and an
overall custom build and who needs flames? This build will have the
flamers seeing red... watching the taillights as they disappear in
their front windshield, after the arm drops.
Just glancing at cars in the halls of Classic Auto Mall, one can
spot the good, bad and the ugly right away, and you do not need
much of a trained eye. This one, using nothing but the best, is
definitely a good category build and can be shown or used as a
daily driver, it's that well done. Let's just say that amongst all
the Hot Rods here, this one is definitely a "black pearl" and
definitely worth a look if you are not into the build part of the
game.
Exterior
An Outlaw performance '34 Chevy Tudor body with a 3" chop, smoked
glass, obsidian black paint, and a touch of custom in the form of
purple and beige highlighting wraps itself around the body starting
at the cowl and running fully around the body. The true highlight
here is the custom tribal pinstriping on the rear replete with a
Tasmanian Devil likeness is a cloud of tire smoke. Fiberglass has
its advantages, mainly the panels are straight as arrows, gaps are
nearly perfect, and look ma... NO RUST EVER! A bright trim spear
separates the center hinged hood with its side cowling removed to
show off the serious mill lurking beneath. Fronting this hood is a
black grille surround with an airbrushed and flamed bowtie and more
freehand pinstriping. Custom chrome headlight mounts adorn the
grille and fender niche, and the body and fenders are bobbed at the
rear. With the exception of the heavily chromed bumpers the body
has been shaved of its handles (strictly remote with an emergency
entry here kids). 15" Weld Rod Lite wheels are adding some snazz on
each corner and are shod in staggered width rubber
Interior
Remotely pop open the doors and immediately you are overwhelmed
with a build quality that is second to none. Medium gray broadcloth
door panels, highlighted above and below by dark gray cloth strips,
are fitted with billet aluminum armrest frames and door releases as
well as a lightning bolt of purple running through the center. This
color scheme repeats itself on the overstuffed bucket seats both
front and rear, all presenting with minimal to no wear. Breathe in
the heat and A/C controllers along with the ignition, wiper, and
power window switches all residing within a highly polished custom
Vee panel flowing down from the dash. Centrally located white face
VDO gauges, all within another billet panel keep the operator
apprised of all the vitals and are fronted by a heavily padded
billet banjo type steering wheel which tops a polished aluminum
tilt steering column. An AM/FM/CD player rests comfortably overhead
in a small console and can belt out several watts of your favs on
the playlist.
Drivetrain
Peeking through the open sides of the engine bay we see a blinged
out 350ci V8 topped with a 4bbl carburetor. Polished billet
aluminum bolt ons are strewn as far as the eye can see and what
isn't billet is highly polished chrome. A Ford 9" rear axle handles
all the power sent from the engine via a TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission.
Undercarriage
Attracting all the attention underneath is the strong steel frame
and all black attachments, again, the best of the best here folks.
A black steel frame provides the backbone for the body, running
boards and suspension, all pro built and looking just fab. An
independent Mustang II style front suspension is on with adjustable
coil overs and chrome A-arms. Bringing up the rear is a chrome 4
link suspension with more adjustable coil overs. The headers feed
down to a straight piped muffler delete exhaust system and we see
power disc brakes front and rear providing the stop on a dime and
give change factor.
Drive-Ability
A pop of the door and a twist of the knob and I'm in street rod
heaven. The V8 has a great rumble but not so much as to drown out
my favorite tunes. My test drive was on a perfect spring
Pennsylvania day so I could go windows down, but have no fear, the
AC blows ice cold. Taking a tour around the often imitated but
never duplicated Classic Auto Mall test track I looked cool as a
cucumber and my ears had a perfect mixture of exhaust notes along
with tunes on the radio. Power was more than adequate, shifting
smooth, and braking was exceptional and bias free. One issue with
most street rods is lack of interior room and comfort, this car has
that problem solved and then some.
Very impressive, and a build you could not replicate for the price
of this gorgeous, high performance, great handling, convenience
loaded vintage looker. All wrapped up in fiberglass, deep dark
black and NO FLAMES...a must see in person to really appreciate
this standout. The photos do not do it justice, frankly because I'm
not in them, so come visit our Hallowed Halls and see this rod in
person. You won't be disappointed with this ready to drive
cross-country high-end build.
