Its a custom and thoughtful build that shows us what happens when someone invests in quality. Competition Yellow is the exact right color for this classic. There were yellows available from the factoryand#44; but this is far bolder... and that sets the theme correctly for this Chevy. The yellow has an excellent glow that rolls evenly in the sunshineand#44; which tells you there was the right kind of investment in getting this modern sunny color applied correctly. This might be a 150 modeland#44; but the side trim is borrowed from the iconic Bel Air. It looks fantastic as a bridge from the huge front chrome end to the highly stylized tailfins. And lets face itand#44; when all of it is as complete and correct as this oneand#44; you know you go out cruising just to grab some serious attention. But more than just aestheticsand#44; this one gets its fundamentals rightand#44; too. The glass is clean and clear; the panels line up nicely; and the doors shut with authority. Its a cool cruiser with an anytime driving attitude. Inside is a major upgrade from the 1950s. The front seats look like they were borrowed from the Chevys later strato bucket designand#44; and then given extra bolstering for all-day comfort. These white vinyl seats nicely match the rearand#44; door panelsand#44; and headliner for a very uniform appearance. In factand#44; the interior and exterior colors come together so nicely on the dash that you will surely love the look of this thoughtful build. Even the classic style radio is a more modern AM/FM unit with digital tuner so you can have more modern tunes in your very vintage ride. You slip behind the wood and chrome sports steering wheeland#44; and it instantly becomes apparent that this is a drivers car. You get a full set of gauges that include an auxiliary Bosch tach and a trio of additional readouts. Plusand#44; the Bandamp;M shifter will be you new favorite place to rest your right hand. You might want to grab your sunglasses before opening the hoodand#44; because just about everything that is not matching the bold yellow has been polished to a mirror shine. And once you look beyond the styleand#44; youll also see a nice investment in making this classic a strong runner. The bold-looking block is a Chevy 350 cubic-inch motor that includes go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetorand#44; performance intakeand#44; Comp Cams performance camand#44; Accel ignitionand#44; and aluminum radiator w/electric fan. This enhanced V8 exhales deeply through long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. All the power has no trouble getting to the ground thanks to a stout three-speed automatic transmission. And while youre looking everything overand#44; dont forget the undercarriage photos. There you will see an enhanced front suspension and an independent rear unit – a true rarity for these shoebox Chevys. That gives this classic exceptional handling compared to its peersand#44; and just to make sure its an all-around stunnerand#44; theres also four-wheel disc brakes and the grip of Goodyear RS-A tires on those 17-inch alloys.
