For more information on this vehicle: https://volocars.forsale/V21641 All other socials & links: https://letsgoforaspin.com/ Totally tricked out lead sled that would make James Dean jealous! We just acquired this car from the gentleman that built it, he's owned it for 40 years. Acknowledged by the world renowned "King of Customizers" George Barris and winner of the prestigious "BARRIS PICK" award. This quintessential hot rod looks like it just rolled off the set of American Graffiti, and reeks of high-quality workmanship. I wouldn't want to know what a professional shop would charge today for all these body modifications and paint. EXTERIOR: Extensive bespoke body modifications! There is so much more custom work than meets the eye. The top was chopped 4 inches. The hood, trunk and doors were shaved, plus all the corners were rounded. First time I have seen Mercury emblems on the fenders act as door poppers. The lakes pipes were custom molded into the body. The grill shell and front pan were molded. The headlights were frenched, and parking lights were removed. The turn signals are integrated in the Pontiac grill that was lengthened by 10 inches. The front bumper and the bumper guards were removed, the holes were filled, and it was chromed. Custom bubble fender skirts that have a rolled top edge and 3 teeth were added in the front scoop. The taillights are custom made and the rear pan was molded. The rear bumper was smoothed and has Pontiac bumper guards. The antenna was removed, and the gas door was filled in. It has 1953 Buick side moldings and a beautiful custom mixed Grape and Lavender paint job with a urethane clear coat. Very practical v-but windshield plus working vent and rear 1/4 windows. Cadillac sombrero hubcaps with bullet centers sitting on classic wide whitewall radial tires. INTERIOR: It's a custom Interior by Kasper! Up front is a power Cadillac bench, and in back is a wraparound Thunderbird seat. Both seats have a fold down arm rest. The stereo is cleverly hidden in the driver's door panel and has a hidden antenna too. Courtesy lights are also hidden under the rear seat. The overhead console has power window switches and map light. On the column is a tachometer, vintage Stewart Warner amp and oil gauge. 3 on the tree manual shifter. The custom mounted side view mirror is much more useful than expected. This interior is just as comfortable as it is beautiful! ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Picture perfect! The performance built 1950 Mercury flathead V-8 features dual Stromberg 97 carbs, Edmond's intake, Edelbrock finned high compression heads and a Mallory ignition. It's been upgraded to a 12 volt charging system with an alternator. The stainless-steel panels all around the engine bay and a brass top radiator really dress things up nicely. The chrome hood hinges are a nice touch too. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It was completely boxed and upholstered to match the interior. Under the trunk lid is also upholstered and so is the tire cover. The fuel filler was relocated to the trunk and the battery is hidden behind a panel. UNDERSIDE: Smoother than a Cadillac! The suspension was lowered 3" in the front and 4" in the back for the perfect stance; it still feels like you're riding on a cloud. We replaced the rear shocks. The emergency brake is hooked up. Now equipped with a dual exhaust system that has Smithy mufflers and flame throwers! The fuel pump has been upgraded to an electric unit that is mounted externally. Looking up at the modified flathead engine it is nicely painted with no visible leaks. The 3 speed manual transmission also looks nice and clean. All the floorboards and frame appear to be solid and rust free. SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this car and we replaced the rear shocks, replaced the master cylinder, and replaced the right front wheel seal. CONCLUSION: Exquisite craftsmanship is evident in this build! It's a timeless hot rod that has all the makings of a classic because it already is one! Cool, comfortable, and custom describe this lead sled perfectly! I drove it and could not believe how smooth it rode and that was on a bumpy road! 📧: sales@volocars.com ☎️: 815-385-3644 CHAPTERS ============= 0:00 Intro 0:43 Body & Exterior 5:02 Trunk 5:53 Interior 8:37 Engine 9:39 Test Drive 16:33 Undercarriage 17:19 Outro Visit our website to see over 300 vehicles for sale! http://www.volocars.com Also check out our...
