George Thorogood sang about this car "Bad to the Bone"! Real steel
body that was chopped and channeled and has a supercharged, dual
quad 540 big block making 700 hp! It is menacing just to look at
with the motor almost reaching the top of the windshield, rear
tires that look like a steam roller and flames burning down the
side of the car. Inside offers some luxury with a genuine leather
custom upholstery, power windows, tilt and a stereo. it is claimed
to be built by Chuck Miller who also built the world-famous Red
Baron Hot rod! This car is hand signed on the dashboard by him for
authenticity. He originally built it for the 1969 Detroit Auto Rama
show which he competed in with this car. More recently it was
completely restored and upgraded. Here's your once in a lifetime
opportunity to own a one-off custom built by automotive
royalty!
EXTERIOR: This is the quintessential hot rod! It is an original all
steel body that has been chopped and channeled to really slam it
down. Its black paint is slick and glossy. It has hand painted old
school flames on both sides. All the panels were properly aligned,
and the car has good gaps. The door handles have been shaved and
electric poppers were installed. Mini billet side view mirrors were
added. Smoked glass all around. The trunk lid opens electronically
via a toggle switch on the passenger side. The builder frenched in
modern brake lights and a third tail light. The headlights have the
turn signals built in. It has a beautiful set of 15 inch polished
aluminum wheels with spinners. It has BF Goodrich skinnies up front
and a set of ginormous Pro-Trac radials in the rear.
INTERIOR: There's a lot going on with this interior! It is totally
custom and has genuine leather low back seats that are adjustable
so even a tall person can easily fit. There's an automatic shifter
between the seats that resembles an engine piston, and a fire
extinguisher has been mounted to the floor. The door panels are
custom upholstered in leather, they house blacked out toggle
switches power window switches and have custom flame stitching as
well. The kick panels are even upholstered and have 5.5 inch
speakers mounted behind them. The dashboard has been painted black
just like the body and now displays a full array of vintage looking
VDO gauges. The dash is where you will also find a modern Alpine
stereo, toggle switch for electric fan, the windshield wiper and
headlight controls. There's also a button under the dash for the
Ah-ooo-Gah horn and door poppers. The dashboard has been signed by
Chuck Miller who is the claimed original builder of this hot rod
and the world-famous Red Baron hot rod as well. It has a custom
tilt column that makes getting in and out of this car much easier;
attached to that is a custom Billet Specialties steering wheel.
Additionally, it is equipped with a modern style electric sliding
glass sunroof that closes automatically when the car is shut off.
It also has a modern rearview mirror and a custom dome light that
is working. The carpeting has been completely replaced and looks
great. The custom gas and brake pedals are in a very comfortable
position, but the car must be driven using two feet.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Holy crap! The power plant has been upgraded to
a 540 cubic inch supercharged dual quad engine producing about 700
horsepower. It's equipped with Merlin heads, dual Holley four
barrel carburetors and a 871 roots style blower. Additionally, it
has a full MSD ignition system and a billet aluminum dipstick. The
air cleaner, blower, valve covers, water pump, and alternator are
all polished aluminum and dress up the bay very nicely. The
radiator has also been upgraded with an electronic fan and billet
aluminum overflow. "Badass" sums up this engine bay perfectly!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The rumble seat lid has been electrified and
opens with a switch on the passenger side. The bottom of the lid
has been upholstered and the compartment is carpeted. There is some
room to fit a couple small bags or folding lawn chairs behind the
seats.
UNDERSIDE: The underbody has been completely restored and looks
amazing! It has a Mustang II front clip that includes independent
suspension with rack and pinion steering, tubular control arms,
adjustable coilover shocks and more. Most of the components have
been polished for a custom look. The rear suspension is a four link
setup complete with polished control arms and adjustable coil over
shocks. It's equipped with four wheel power disc brakes that have
replaced lines as well. The side pipe exhaust system looks
fantastic and sounds aggressive. It also has a custom hand built
polished aluminum fuel tank with a remote mounted electric pump and
fresh lines. Looking up at the supercharged 540 engine it looks
fresh and clean with a Milodon extra capacity oil pan high torque
starter and chrome flywheel cover. The Turbo 400 automatic
transmission also looks nice and clean, and it even has an external
oil cooler neatly mounted underneath and a deep finned aluminum
pan. The driveshaft ges through a safety loop and connects to a 9"
posi rear end with 3.73 gearing. It has a boxed frame and rust-free
solid floors that have neatly been painted black. The underside is
also equipped with a custom mounted Ah-ooo-Gah horn.
SERVICE: Our team of professional mechanics has completed a
thorough inspection of this vehicle and replaced the window
regulator motor, replaced rear shock bushings, installed a horn
button, replaced the speed pulse generator, replaced some light
bulbs, replaced the vacuum modulator gasket, and replaced the valve
cover gaskets.
Here's the hot rod of your dreams! Custom body, custom chassis,
custom suspension, custom interior, and a rowdy performance engine,
this car literally has it all! And it's built by one of the biggest
names in the industry, Chuck Miller! Don't think twice! There won't
be another opportunity like this! If you dare.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
