INTRODUCTION: Vic Edelbrock Jrs personal car, Hot Rod cover car!
Here is your one time chance to own the personal car of one of the
automotive industrie's most influential people- Vic Edelbrock Jr.
Some of his accomplishments included being inducted into the
Automotive Hall of Fame, he was a former president and driving
force of SEMA and turned Edelbrock into one of the world's leading
suppliers of high performance auto parts. Vic commissioned Posies
Rods and Customs to build him a car that represents Edelbrock's
high standards and most importantly it needs to be very road
friendly. Vic was passionate about this car, nicknaming it "Vic's
Redhead". Vic personally put most of the 14,400 miles on this car
including multiple Hot Rod Power Tours.
EXTERIOR: Here is proof that when a car is done right it can last a
long time! This body is still laser straight and looks like it was
just finished. There's some extensive body mods you probably didn't
even notice but enhance the overall appearance: the top was chopped
1 � inches, the peaks on top of the fenders were smoothed out, the
front edge of the fenders and hood were extended, the louvers on
each fender were smoothed out, recessed marker lights were added.
They say the rear wheel well was made an inch bigger and the
rockers were rounded. Finished in Edelbrock Red with a clear coat
finished polished like glass. Did you notice the ghost flames on
each side? All of the chrome was replaced,the stainless trim was
polished like chrome and the side moldings were shortened 4 inches
and moved up one inch. The lower bumpers were downsized and painted
with a gray chip guard. A honeycomb grill was made along with a
floating stainless bar. Where the rubber bullets once were now has
turn signals behind honeycomb grilles, the headlights are LED. In
back the bumper under the exhaust has been converted with extra
running/brake lights. The glass and weatherstrips were replaced.
Colorado Custom made these one off wheels designed by Posies. They
are 17x8s in front and 20x10s in back and are wearing Dunlop
performance tires.
INTERIOR: Complete custom upholstery by Dick Gerwer upholstery. Vic
was a big guy, this is a roomy, comfortable interior. It has Tea's

panels. The dash is completely refabricated and completed with VDO
gauges, Vintage Air controls and a Sony stereo. The system also
includes a 200 watt amp, CD changer, 6x9s. It uses a Painless
wiring system and has power windows. Colorado Custom made a
steering wheel to match the wheels and it's mounted on a polished
tilt column. Down on the floor is custom cut carpet and mats, it's
a little discolored. The headliner and visors are in excellent
shape.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Check this out! It has custom shrouds over
inner fenders and radiator along with a smoothed firewall. In the
center of it all is 383 stroker making 408 hp and 450 lbs of torque

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
slick. Inside was lined with Extreme Liner sound deadener then
boxed and carpeted.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame for a complete
restoration with upgrades. The frame was reconstructed in back for
wider tires and a lower stance, then smoothed and painted black.

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.
