Vehicle Description
This Roadster is #001 originally built in 1998 with a small block
Chevrolet engine as a demonstrator for So-Cal Speed Shop for parts
sales. This car has been in over 100 different magazines and in 13
different countries. In 2010 SEMA & GM came to Pete Chapouris of
So-Cal Speed Shop to build an emission compliant hot rod with
classic hot rod style. GM supplied a 2010 LS3 engine with a 6 speed
manual transmission to meet CA emissions standards and the sole of
the hot rod rumbling under the hood. Pete and his crew at So-Cal
took on the challenge of taking an old rod and installing a fuel
efficient high horse power engine as documented on the Hot Rod TV
Show. This 32 So-Cal Highboy Roadster is the result of that
project. The Cowl has been autographed by Alex Xydias and Pete
Chapouris of So-Cal Speed Shop.
