Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you our latest arrival -
this 1953 Chevrolet Gasser. It's said that some things never go out
of style, in our opinion a tall, fast, and loud 50's Gasser is
definitely one of those things! Finished in white driver-quality
paint, this Chevy sports many (removable) vinyl decals typical of a
Gasser-style build - it certainly looks the part. In keeping with
the style, the front bumper has been deleted and a 3 gal. Moon fuel
tank has been added. The remainder of the front grill has been
painted a matte grey. The hood has been re-hinged to the front so
that it tilts forward to expose the engine. This Chevy does
maintain much of it's original chrome trim in good condition and it
looks great in the daylight. The back bumper has been painted black
for contrast. Like all Gassers, this Chevy has staggered tires with
Firestone White Wall Dragster tires on the rear and Nexen tires
wrapped around Crocket Racing wheels on the front. Under the tilted
front end you'll find a 350ci Chevy V-8 bored .30 over with a small
cam. The engine is topped by an Offenhauser intake with dual-quad
Holley carburetors and velocity stacks. Other features under the
hood include an aluminum radiator with an electric fan, finned
valve covers, and a chrome alternator. Exhaust flows through
wrapped headers to exhaust cut-outs controlled by a key fob. The
350 is mated to a 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission with a 10-bolt
rear end. This combo makes for a much more streetable Gasser than
usual, you can actually drive it on the freeway to a car show. It
also has rack and pinion steering for better turning. Stopping
power comes from front disc and rear drum brakes backed up by a
dual reservoir. The front suspension is composed of longitudinal
leaf springs with shocks while the rear features longitudinal leaf
springs with shocks and ladder-bar control arms. Open the drivers
door to find a nice black interior with vinyl bucket seats and a
rear bench in good condition. The black carpet is in good condition
as are the non-original door panels. Between the bucket seats is a
Hurst shifter to row through the five gears. The black-painted dash
is topped with an Autogauge tachometer and has a trio of Equus
gauges beneath. There is an aftermarket stereo in the dash but it
is currently inoperable. In the trunk is a fuel cell and an Optima
battery. If you're a fan of the Gasser style, you're certainly
going to want to give this one a close look - it's not often that
you find one that offers dragstrip fun while still being freeway
drivable!
