Vehicle Description
Known as "Shagnasty," this 1955 Chevrolet Gasser-style coupe is
powered by a 1973 454ci block with a 396 rotation, 11:1 compression
and 1969 375hp square-port heads, Edelbrock tunnel ram with two 450
Holley carburetors, Cal Custom valve covers and custom air scoop.
The engine is mated to a Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission
with a 3000-stall converter. The engine is cooled with an aluminum
radiator with an electric fan while spent gases exit through a
3-inch exhaust system with a set of fender-well headers, capable of
being uncorked into open headers. The front suspension is a
Speedway straight-axle with a rear mini-tub with a ladder-bar setup
and coilovers holding in place a 9-inch (31-spline) posi-traction
with 3.42 gears. Stopping is handled with 4-wheel disc brakes. The
"Shagnasty" script was hand-painted on top of the clear and can be
removed if desired. The bucket-seat interior is diamond-stitched,
including the seats, door panels and carpet. The package tray is
also covered. The backs of the front seats are custom-painted to
match the car's exterior detail. The trunk is clean and finished in
black with a black cargo mat, houses the battery for easy access
and has a stock gas tank underneath. The front tires are Pro-Trac
with Rocket wheels, and the rears are Craiger SS wheels with
M&H Racemaster Sport/Street tires.
