This custom-built hot rod presents as a well-sorted, driver-focused
build with classic style and modern road manners. Finished in a
deep Root Beer Brown metallic with tasteful hand-applied
pinstriping throughout, the exterior has a strong traditional
hot-rod presence with clean lines and thoughtful detailing.
Power comes from a 351CI Cleveland V8 engine topped with an
Edelbrock Torker 351 aluminum intake and Holley 4-barrel
carburetor, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission for an engaging
driving experience. Cooling is handled by a Northern aluminum
radiator with an electric fan, and a dual exhaust system delivers
the right sound while exiting cleanly at the rear.
Up front, the vehicle features a Mustang II-style independent front
suspension with rack-and-pinion steering and coil-over shocks,
offering improved handling and drivability compared to traditional
straight-axle setups. Braking consists of front disc brakes with
rear drums, and the undercarriage presents as solid and
road-ready.
Inside, the custom tan interior is clean and cohesive, featuring
Classic Instruments gauges, a comfortable bench seat, custom door
panels, and a tidy center console. Overall, this is a well-executed
street rod built to be driven and enjoyed, not just admired.
