For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/gnfd6w2 A lot of time, money and effort was invested into making this 1931 Chevrolet AE Independence the coolest classic at the event, and the quality of that plight shows throughout. From its updated chassis and spry ZZ4 350 to its tasteful paint and plush upholstery, the car features the best of everything without drifting in to the dreaded 'too nice to drive' territory. If you're ready to experience a different kind of rod, take a minute to learn more about this killer Chevy! HISTORY/RESTORATION This clean sedan's solid steel fuselage began life as a run-of-the-mill commuter that was sold through Spencerport, New York's Donn Chevrolet. After a few decades of fair use, the car was traded back to that same dealer, who decided to prominently display it for the next 32 years. When the dealer ceased operations in 1992, the Chevy rolled in to the collector car hobby as a mostly original time capsule. And over the next six years, the car would bounce through a procession of owners that stretched from Rochester to Long Island. In 1995, it received its first significant upgrades via mild restoration. And, 15 years and many miles of happy cruising later, the car rolled in to Hickory, North Carolina's Rutter's Rod Shop for a body-off, 4-year transformation. After 1,100 hours of labor and a $140K check, the Chevy debuted at the 2014 NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky to headline the Builder Showcase. And, eventually, that display won the car a feature in the February, 2015 edition of StreetScene Magazine. ENGINE Take a look under this Chevy's winged hood and you'll find a hot GM Performance Parts ZZ4 350 that utilizes a forged crank, powdered rods, a hydraulic cam and hypereutectic pistons to turn stout 10 to 1 compression into 355 horsepower and 405 lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the smooth-spinning mill, a 600cfm Edelbrock Endurashine carburetor is sequenced behind a color-keyed air filter, stainless fluid lines and a coated Edelbrock pump. That fuel source rides atop L98 Corvette heads and an Edelbrock Endurashine Performer Air-Gap intake. At the back of that intake, an HEI distributor balances a Crossfire cap under loomed Taylor cables. At the front of those cables, billet pulleys spin a chrome alternator and polished AC compressor above a quality Stewart water pump. Cooling comes courtesy of a beefy radiator that's finished with a polished expansion tank, corrugated water tubes and an integrated puller fan. And exhaust makes haste through Sanderson block hugger headers. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION Behind the smooth-revving small block, a Phoenix-built 700R4 4-speed utilizes a TCI Lockup Kit to twist power through a posi-trac Moser axle that's fitted with big, 3.70 gears. Beneath that drivetrain, a completely rebuilt suspension employs a Hellwig sway bar and Eaton Detroit leaf springs behind a Fat Man independent front-clip that's fitted with manual rack-and-pinion steering. A traditional combination of disc and drum brakes provides quick, drama-free stops. Charred dinosaurs float from the aforementioned headers in to a 2.5-inch exhaust system, which positions rowdy turbo mufflers between polished, side-exit tips. And torque transitions to pavement through chrome Truespoke wheels, which spin 195/65R15 Goodyear Assurance radials in front of 255/70R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As. INTERIOR Open this Chevy's doors and you'll find 300 hours of custom enhancements that were executed by Conover, North Carolina's Statesville Custom Auto Trim. Of course, the Independence is already a very elegant ride from the factory; this particular example equipped with optional flower vases, optional robe ropes, optional side curtains, optional rear ashtrays and an optional rear foot rest. Speaking of rest, the driver and passengers rest on original, Chevrolet-branded seats, which wrap hand-sculpted foam in a sweet combination of ultrasuede and faux leather. In front of those seats, a custom, pearl-accented dash hangs integrated speakers and hardware for the car's Southern Air conditioning behind Guard Dawg pushbutton ignition and Haneline 5-in-1 telemetry. Beneath that dash, Dynamat Xtreme insulation backs Wilton Wool carpet, which frames a custom embroidered floor crest, billet foot pedals and a small console that's centered on a Gennie shifter. And the driver stays engaged thanks to a 2-tone Colorado Custom steering wheel that laps a tilting Flaming River column. A lot of street rods claim to be the total package, but this '31 Chevy actually backs that talk up. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information!
