Description
I am not sure about you but I have noticed that the word "Driver" over the past few years has taken on a whole new meaning! The quality of so called cars has reached new levels, not only do they have all of the late model goodies that can make driving enjoyable but they can crossover to show quality! Yep, drive it to the show and/or gathering, have a great trip and take home some Chrome-N-Wood recognition! This is one of those type of cars! A "HQD" build, judging by the 3 web-pages of detailed photo's, you would never believe that she has racked up about 30,000 carefree miles and picked up about 50 awards along the way! This lady comes to you with a complete frame-off rotisserie restoration where no nut was left un-turned! Massaged to perfection, then loaded with Power and Creature Comforts! A Platinum Award Winner! Read on more!!
Lets start with the power and handling! An ever dependable & mildly rebuilt 327 C.I. V8 that is fed by dual 4 barrel Edelbrock carbs. Passing the spent fuel is a set of tuned HPC coated headers that flow into a neatly tucked away mellow sounding dual rear-exit exhaust. Everything is kept cool with an Aluminum Radiator and high flow H2O pump. Transferring the power is a hi-way friendly 700R4 automatic over-drive transmission straight into it's rebuilt rear differential. Finally, dressed to the max with plenty of bling! Onto the safe operation and handling points! A very tight and completely rebuilt factory suspension with upgraded 604 Power Steering, Front Stabilizer, Rear Stabilizer, Gas Shocks and Power Disc Brakes! She rides, steers and stops wonderfully! Rounding out the rolling stock is a nice set of Classic Crager 15" wheels fitted with knock-off caps and wrapped in quality radial rubber. I know I may have left something out but no need, you get the idea!
Onto the Cosmetics!! The body was whipped up, down, all-around, massaged to perfection, treated to a professional basecoat/clearcoat of deep Brandywine Metallic and professionally reassembled! This little lady is whistle straight and nicely finished from Jamb to Jamb & Top to Bottom! All chrome/trim was either plated, polished and/or replaced. Yep, everything was left in place for the correct resto-rod feel! Notice, she even has Dual Antenna's!! The Windshield Wipers have been up-graded to inside mounted multi-speed by Raingear. Now Hop inside to all of things you could wish for! Slide yer butt onto a fully adjustable Glide Engineering seat and interior that's been fitted with supple "Ultra Leather" embroidered with Bowtie/Bel-Air Logos. While you are in there, notice the other goodies: Vintage Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Tinted Windows, Chrome "Ididit" Tilt Steering Column, Grant Billet/Wood Steering Wheel, Custom Drink Console, AM/FM Radio, Scalloped Door Panels, Billet Door Handles and Much More!! Once again, I know I may have left something out but no need, you get the idea!
In Closing, tons invested and tested! Loaded with all of the items that you could want and Beauty Ta Boot! You will not be disappointed with this lady that will be 50 years young in 2007! PENDING SALE!! EASY FINANCING GOOD LUCK!!!!
Known Items: A complete and thorough body-off/rotisserie restoration completed in 1997-1998, supervised and performed by the current owner. Garaged, Respected, Petted & Protected! The odometer was set to Zero @ restoration, she has been enjoyed about 30,000 miles (several planned/careful, Local & Coast to Coast Trips). Included, if you wish, about 50 Awards/Plaques/Trophies!! As I always say, Not Perfect, Not New (none are) but I would say if you want one that you can show and enjoy, this is the ticket!! Comes with Car Cover.
