Brings new meaning to the phrase “Heavy Chevy”
Purchased from the original owner, a lady from Jersey City, NJ & underwent an extensive build with family & friends beginning in early 2012 & basically finished (well, they’re never finished are they) 16 months later w/ on-going tweaks till February 2019.
The complete restoration, redesign, reengineering & mechanical upgrades encompassed body being stripped to bare metal & Nosed & Decked in `50’s Hot Rod style w/show-quality Platinum Silver paint by Mike Moore. All chrome & trim redone & LED lights installed in headlights, grill, mirrors incorporating turn signals & taillights over a custom-built frame to house the impressive driveline and suspension. New custom, period style interior w/ Black Leather rolled & pleated seats. Retro Digital dash w/ LED gauges, tilt-wheel, A/C & a vintage fighter array of switches, instruments & dials.
No-expense spared utilizing the nest components & expert craftsmen. Not a Trailer Queen, but a solid #2 that is driven to shows throughout the Eastern Coast. What’s the purpose of having this much horsepower always trailered & to be parked on a Show Field?
