The beauty of classic street rods is that each car is a unique representation of the builders vision. No two are exactly alike. That said, most street rods of this era follow similar design formulas using Chevy or Ford V8 engines, automatic transmissions, and a plethora of aftermarket components to create their unique personalities. But what happens when someone dares to be different…….? YOU GET THIS CAR! A very special car indeed!<\/p>\n
The builder of this beauty had a different set of driving dynamics in mind. Starting with an original all-steel 1934 Chevrolet 5 Window Coupe, the suspension was modified to incorporate late model Chevrolet S-10 suspension, power disc brakes, and rack and pinion steering components into the car’s original but strengthened frame. Then came the real twist; the 4.3L V6 engine and 5-speed manual transmission. But why stop there? The S-10 dash\/gauge cluster and tilt steering column were also installed. Followed by power windows, power door locks, and a new A\/C system from Old Air Products. Of course, reclining bucket seats were needed to finish the modern and refined experience. Complimenting the mechanical build, the body was treated to a modern base\/clear finish in subtle Gray\/Bronze pearl, contrasting nicely with the chrome artillery-style wheels.<\/p>\n
The completion of this vision resulted in one of the most fun and modern driving experiences I’ve personally encountered in a vintage street rod. It’s light and agile, has a sports-car feel and is a pleasure to drive and enjoy.<\/p>\n
