Rare � ton panel side truck! It was fully refinished and customized
into a beautiful turnkey reliable street rod. Loaded with creature
comforts like fuel injection, air conditioning, overdrive trans,
custom leather interior, and electric door poppers; it's designed
to be an easy all day cruiser. This bespoke classic is accompanied
by 2 huge folders full of receipts and literature to document the
build. Get in, turn the key, and turn some heads!
EXTERIOR: It was stripped and sand blasted down to bare metal. The
paint was applied with great attention to detail and pinstriped by
hand. Many custom body mods were executed including the rear steel
fenders widened 3 inches, doors were converted to suicide style
opening from the front with deadbolt style locks, custom gas
filler, the handles were shaved on all 3 doors, the doors hinges
were hidden, and the license plate was recessed. The rear door
latch is neatly tucked away under the rear bumper. The front
fenders are fiberglass and fit very well. The hood side panels are
included and clad in body colored purple paint and Chevrolet
emblems. The panel body was also channeled 6 inches giving it a
much improved aesthetic. All new glass and weatherstrips, H4
headlights with built in turn signals, and LED taillights have this
rarity looking proper. The running boards are smooth and have
really cool vintage style step plates. It is rolling on staggered
Coy's wheels: they are 17s in front, 18s in back, and they are
wrapped in performance tires.
INTERIOR: Glove soft genuine leather seats! They are Wise Guys
brands with nice and comfortable support, 3 point shoulder belts
built in, and they recline as well. Everything has been lined with
sound deadener throughout. The center console with integrated
armrest, storage compartment, cup holders, and power window
controls are all much appreciated upgrades. An Ididit tilt column
with a leather wrapped banjo style steering wheel and a push button
start also add to the appeal. It has an easy to read set of
Haneline custom gauges, climate control by Vintage Air, and a
backup camera. The dash area is also painted Deep Plum Pearl just
like the exterior with vents added for the a/c. And you can't
forget the single windshield wiper with electronic control right in
front of the driver. The headliner was replaced as well as the door
panels that have armrests, manual releases, and dead bolt style
latches for added safety.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Only 2,000 miles! The split hood opens to the
center by simply removing one bolt. It also comes with body colored
side panels that can easily be put on at any time. The 350 long
block was recently replaced and spins like a top. It has Tuned Port
Injection (TPI) fuel injection on top that is polished as well as
the a/c compressor, alternator, clutch fan, and valve covers too.
Spark plug wire holders and compact coated block hugger headers
flank the sides. It has March pulleys and brackets up front that
nicely clean up the bay. Power steering makes maneuvering a piece
of cake. Everything runs cool with the help of a Griffin aluminum
radiator. A polished stainless firewall adds a refined show car
appearance. All the belts, hoses, and wires were replaced.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The rear door opens with a lever that is
concealed under the bumper. The back of the doors and jamb are
painted slick just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced.
Inside is totally revamped, boxed and carpeted with a custom flame
design adorning the walls. The headliner is nice and tight with a
rear dome light for convenience. There are 2 custom speaker
enclosures over the wheel wells with built in 5.5" round
speakers.
UNDERSIDE: Nicely upgraded! It now has a Heidts independent front
suspension with QA1 coilover adjustable gas shocks, plus rack &
pinion. Out back are fresh looking leaf springs and adjustable air
shocks. A complete custom fuel system with external pump and a
stainless tank does its job well. The dual exhaust was replaced and
has Flowmaster mufflers. Upgraded with drilled and sloted disc
brakes at all four wheels the power brake booster and master are
located under the car. Looking up at the engine it is clean, has a
high torque starter and chrome flywheel cover. It's using a 700R4
overdrive automatic trans with an aluminum pan that will keep you
cruising all day. The purple drive shaft leads back to a Ford
9-inch rear end with fresh paint. It also has a complete new floor
pan made from 16 gauge galvanized steel. Everything is neatly
painted black and looks great.
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.
The colors, the stance, the custom interior, and the reliable
drivetrain all blend together perfectly providing an unmatched
experience for the lucky new owner. What a slick custom hot
rod!
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.
