Vehicle Description
More than likely, it's the awesome flame paint instantly attracted
you to this 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Streetrod. But what's going
to make you really love this is the fresh 350 crate V8, upgraded
suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, overdrive transmission, and all
the other upgrades that tell you this is a build done for far more
than just its looks.
The job of a car like this is to standout in all the best ways. The
bodywork includes all the right investments in custom work,
including shaving the door handles, deleting body trim, and
deleting the rear bumper for a smoother look. And of course, they
frenched the headlights, license plate, and Cadillac-style
taillights. So, it has that unmistakable custom appearance from the
first moment you lay eyes on it. And speaking of first impressions,
it's hard to get cooler than the full custom paint work that starts
white-hot at the front consuming everything, including the grille
and bumper. These flames blaze down the body with a custom
tri-color style that's heighted by green pinstriping. And any place
that has fire hasn't touched, there's an awesome blue metallic that
loves the sunshine. It's impressive to see from blocks away, and
even more impressive on how smooth it is for the few people that
get to touch it. There's even full pinstriping on the trunk so that
there's something for people to look at from every angle. Plus, the
louvered hood, dual exhaust tips, and modern Coys alloys with the
aggressive 17/20-inch front/rear stance are all about showing that
this is a speedy streetrod.
Inside are some more custom details that really set this streetrod
apart from its contemporaries. The black vinyl seats have a hint of
tuck and roll and the door panels are done to match, while plush
carpets and a taut headliner really seal the cabin up nicely. And
we love the custom pinstriping from the trunk returning on the
dash. But what you'll really notice are the upgrades that make this
a nice driver. There's a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo that powers
the upgraded system stashed in the trunk, a full under-dash HVAC
system that's blowing hard and cold, and a grippy 3-spoke steering
wheel atop a tilt column. And the classic dash panel has now been
adapted to give you an upgraded Dolphin gauge setup, including a
full auxiliary readout package, a large speedo, and a cool tach
glowing red, and is punctuated with some cool custo pinstripe
work.
Under the hood is a fresh 350 crate V8 that was installed about 5
years and 2,052 miles ago. We all know these late-model crate
motors are great for power, especially with a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, a GM Performance intake, a roller camshaft, and shorty
headers feeding the dual exhaust. Not only does this has a clean
look, but you'll also spot nice supporting components like the
serpentine belt system and an aluminum radiator with electric fan.
As you look underneath the car, you'll spot nice driving features,
like newer shocks and the updated independent front suspension.
Plus, the transmission was upgraded at the same time as the motor
to a 700R4 four-speed automatic with highway-friendly overdrive. If
this is starting to sound like a great all-around driver, then
you'll also appreciate the power steering and CPP four-wheel power
disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. Finishing off the look
is a set of flashy, staggered alloys wrapped in 235/45/17 front and
245/40/20 rear performance radials.
A great custom look on the outside and a strong crate motor under
the hood - this Chevy is the total package. So, hurry up before
someone else grabs the custom classic with the features you can use
every day. Call today!!!
