This body off frame, rotisserie restored custom is a class act!
Rich colors and tastefully upgraded features while still preserving
its vintage appeal. The closer I looked at this one the better I
liked it!
EXTERIOR: The body's exceptional! Every inch is straight and clean
from the rockers to the roof. The panels fit precisely, and the
doors shut like new. The paint is polished very smooth and glossy.
I love the color combination of burgundy metallic and fawn
metallic! It is decked out with factory optional trim including the
fingernail guards, rocker moldings, dual mirrors, fuel door guard
and more. It has a Nomad style rear bumper so the license plate
could be removed from the trunk. All the chrome and trim were
replaced. All the weather strips and seals were replaced too. It
has very nice looking smoked glass all the way around. All the
lights are LED including the third brake light. It's sitting pretty
on a set of staggered size Boss wheels: 18s in front and 20s in
back. They're so wide they had to relocate the rear leaf springs.
The wheels are all wrapped in Nitto performance tires.
INTERIOR: Also 1st class and obviously professionally done. Wall to
wall genuine leather! Very comfortable bucket seats are both power
and have manual support adjustments too. The rear seat is
upholstered to match, and the custom console extends all the way to
the back. The console is very appealing and functional featuring 4
cupholders, power window switches, the automatic shifter, and a
touchscreen entertainment system. The stereo is Bluetooth and
powers 6 hidden speakers. The door panels and headliner are also
very nice looking custom creations. The dash and all the metal trim
are wrapped in leather, under the dash is boxed and upholstered
too. The dash is trimmed in billet and has a full set of matching
gauges including a clock. The custom wheel is on a polished tilt
wheel. Down on the floor is burgundy carpet and mats along with a
set of seatbelts.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's powered by a Corvette LS1 motor from
Street & Performance making at least 350 horsepower. The motor is
painted to match the car and has coated headers and all sorts of
polished components attached. The serpentine pulleys, brackets, one
wire alternator, a/c compressor and power steering are all
polished. The power brake system is polished too. The custom
radiator support looks good with the polished aluminum radiator
with dual exhaust fans. The wipers were upgraded with a Newport
Engineering system. The engine bay is painted slick, and the
firewall was made smooth. I really love the billet hinges; they
look and function great!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Wow, very nice. Completely boxed and upholstered
with custom details. The rear door opens to access the battery.
Even under the trunk lid and the hinges are upholstered in leather.
The carpeted floor looks great.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame; the body was then flipped on
a rotisserie and the underside is pristine metal painted the same
burgundy body color. The frame is a California boxed frame painted
black. All the suspension and steering has been rebuilt. It is
upgraded with gas shocks at all four corners, front CPP tubular
control arms, CPP steering box, in back it has lowering blocks and
relocated leaf springs. Nice sounding dual exhaust system with
stainless mufflers. The fuel system was replaced including the
tank. It's upgraded brake system includes disc at all four wheels.
Looking up at the motor it is painted the champagne color of the
body and has a high torque starter. The transmission is a 4L80E
overdrive automatic and a custom driveshaft leads back to the 10
bolt rear end.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
Yeah, a first class build. It has all the comforts and luxury while
still being a hot Rod! Someone will be very happy with this 55.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
