IINTRODUCTION: A classy hot rod! It was frame off restored with a
very tasteful customization. Only 6,000 miles since completed. The
owner hated to see it go but health issues force the sale.
EXTERIOR: The body is very clean and straight, no rust or damage.
The doors click shut and everything lines up nicely. It has a
beautiful two-tone paint job using Kindigit paint at $1,000 a
gallon. The metallic is laid out nicely and the clear coat is very
glossy. It has a few minor imperfections. The chrome and trim has
been restored or replaced. New windshield and smoked side glass.
The vent window was deleted for a cleaner 1 piece window. It has
LED taillights
And a 3rd brake light in the window. It's rolling on 17 inch
aluminum wheels with spinners.
INTERIOR: It's a full custom interior with bucket seats in front
and a wrap around seat in back, both have great looking custom
upholstery. The headliner and door panels were reupholstered too.
Clean beige carpet down on the floor and a custom center console
with a Bluetooth JBL stereo, USB port and 12 volt receptacle. The
custom rear shelf is home to the 6x9 speakers. A Painless wiring
system was used throughout. The metal trim has been painted glossy.
It has Dakota Digital and Vintage Air heater controls. The tilt
column has a sharp looking custom steering wheel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That is a Corvette LS2 6.2 Liter engine making
400hp and 400 lbs of torque! It has a set of headers wrapped in
insulation, the intake tube is polished and it has a serpentine
belt system. It also features modern power steering and a chromed
power brake booster and master cylinder. It runs cool with an
aluminum BeCool radiator, overflow bottle and dual electric fans.
The engine bay is clutter free and painted beautifully. The hinges
are new.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is fully boxed and upholstered with a
carpeted floor. Under the lid is even upholstered and the battery
is relocated behind one of the panels.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame for restoration! The steering
and suspension was completely rebuilt. It was upgraded with rack &
pinion steering, coilover adjustable gas shocks in front and air
shocks in back. The fuel system was replaced including the tank.
The brakes were upgraded with disc at all four wheels and a custom
e-brake. It has a nice fat dual exhaust with X-Pipe and stainless
mufflers. Looking up at the motor it is as a Holley aluminum oil
pan and a high torque starter. Upgraded with a 4L60E overdrive
automatic transmission and a remote trans cooler. A rebuilt
driveshaft goes back to the 10 bolt rear end with 3.55 gears. The
floors and frame appear to be clean, smooth metal painted semi
gloss black.
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 service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: The 55 and 57 Chevys make great hot rods and remain
popular through the generations. This one is a great example!
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.
