Vehicle Description
Do a quick Google Image search for "hot rod" or "street rod" and
you'll see two predominant patterns: a whole lot of flames and a
whole lot of Fords. While it's hard not to love a good set of
flames, brand loyalty can definitely stand between some enthusiasts
and a Ford. Heck, even if you're a blue oval diehard, it's still
nice to see something different every now and then. That's why this
1934 Chevy is such a refreshing change of pace. A lot of time,
money and effort was invested into making this classic one of the
coolest bowties on the block, and the quality of that plight shows
throughout. From its custom chassis and proven 350 to its svelte
paint and custom Paul Atkins interior, the car features the best of
everything without drifting in to the dreaded 'too nice to drive'
territory. Ready to experience a different kind of rod? Take a
close look at this killer Chevy!
TIMELESS APPEAL
Built to be cruised, this top-notch classic is constructed from
high quality fiberglass that's both attractive and durable thanks
to a detailed, ground-up build. That build, documented through a
series of photos, was finished with classy Burgundy two-stage. And
today, the car rolls as a timeless tribute to the dawn of hot
rodding! Handsome aesthetics kick off with a horned bumper, which
guards a polished grille, fiberglass fenders and Chevrolet Twilite
headlights. Behind that grille, a Deco Chevrolet Eagle leads a
steel, four-piece hood, which stretches classy stainless toward a
three-inch chopped greenhouse. That smoked glass, cleared by a
polished wiper, gets reflected in factory-style mirrors, which
complement factory-style door handles. Fiberglass running boards
flow to a second set of fiberglass fenders that are finished with
"CHEVROLET" branded Blue Dot Taillights. And out back, a second
horned bumper guards a traditional trunk handle and a
stainless-capped fuel tank.
CHEVROLET POWER
Check this coupe's smooth engine bay and you'll find 350 cubic
inches of proven GM small block that turns solid power into miles
of smiles! At the top of that burgundy mill, a polished air cleaner
balances a trick spinner opposite a coated Edelbrock carburetor
that's sequenced to a coated pump and an electronic choke. That
carb feeds a familiar Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, which feeds
lightweight Edelbrock Performer RPM heads. A spry Mallory Unilite
distributor sequences fire through loomed Taylor plug wires. Spent
gases are jettisoned through coated block hugger headers. Billet
pulleys spin a color-keyed AC compressor opposite a color-keyed
alternator. At the front of those ancillaries, a requisite Walker
radiator makes excellent use of a Burgundy-tinged puller fan. And
the builder's keen sense of detail is evident in items like
polished lines, trick dipsticks, polished Chevrolet valve covers
and polished bowtie breathers.
MODERN ATHLETICS
Park this classic on a lift and you'll find a sturdy aftermarket
chassis that's been dressed to match the car's regal profile! A
familiar Mustang II front-clip strings manual rack-and-pinion
steering around tubular control arms and modern coils and shocks. A
triangulated 4-bar rear-clip stretches more tubular bars in front
of polished coil-over-shocks. Behind the small block, a color-keyed
Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed funnels torque through a 9-inch rear
axle. Stops are provided by a quartet of power-assisted discs. A
polished stainless fuel tank provides plenty of motivation. Exhaust
rumbles through aluminized pipes and throaty Dynomax Super Turbos.
And the car's sinuous fenders frame polished Billet Specialties
Legacy wheels.
ULTIMATE VISION
Choice customization continues behind the doors thanks to interior
wizard Paul Atkins. A body-matched dash centers a full suite of VDO
telemetry between a billet mirror and vents for the car's modern
air conditioning. A broad bench seat rides rich carpet behind a
polished E-brake and a long Lokar shifter. A tight headliner shades
custom side panels, which front power-operated windows. The driver
spins a polished and half-wrapped wheel around a tilting column and
billet foot pedals. And passengers store essentials in a
custom-upholstered trunk.
A lot of street rods claim to be the total package, but this sweet
Chevy actually backs that talk up. The stout 350 has surprisingly
good manners and, paired with the car's smooth-shifting automatic
and plush interior, serves as the basis for one of the most
comfortable hot rods we've seen. Buy it for the bowtie... Buy it
for the build quality... Whatever you do, just make sure to buy it
quickly because quality customs like this don't have a habit of
sticking around.
