Backing a Corvette-sourced LS1 with a 4L60E 4-speed, an adjustable Ridetech suspension and custom leather upholstery, this head-turning Bel Air has been drawing stares ever since it rolled in to our showroom.
If you're ready to feel the summer breeze behind the wheel of a unique, first-class custom, here's a chance to turn your dreams into reality! The beneficiary of a body-off, rotisserie restoration, this awesome Chevy features a decidedly street rod aesthetic that's highlighted by glossy Mazda Liquid Silver 2-stage. That silky pigment is augmented with a shaved header panel, shaved fender toppers, a shaved decklid and sleek, matte-finished trim. That monochromatic profile is detailed with a smoothed front bumper, smoked glass and a smoothed, 1-piece rear bumper, which play well with intricate headlights, smoked parking lamps and electric RainGear wipers. And today, this coupe rolls as one fully sorted hot rod that's tasteful, unique and poised to drop jaws!
Elevate the peaked hood and you'll find an all aluminum Corvette LS1 V8. That well-mannered motor twists a predictable 4L60E 4-speed automatic overdrive, which spins a tough Currie 9-inch rear axle that's fitted with 3.73 gears and a proven limited-slip differential.
That Ford-inspired pumpkin rolls on a double a-arm front and 4-link rear suspension that's augmented with tubular control arms and adjustable Ridetech bags. Modern power steering provides tracking. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to four red calipers, which squeeze 13-inch drilled and slotted rotors. And attractive Billet Specialties Legacy II wheels center polished spinners and powder-coated spokes inside 225/45ZR18 and 245/40ZR20 Delinte Thunder D7s.
Open this Bel Air's doors and you'll find a plush professionally designed and installed leather cockpit. Top dead center, a matte-finished dash frames bright Dakota Digital VHX telemetry in subdued billet trim. Opposite that dash, petite '65 Thunderbird buckets border a custom, full-length console that balances a familiar Lokar shifter between full power windows, Vintage Air climate control and modern Alpine audio. Beneath that console, taught California Carpet floats piped and color-keyed floor mats beneath custom side panels, billet door handles and billet foot pedals. Opposite that carpet, a custom headliner ups the style quotient. In front of the driver, a tilting column spins a traditional, 2-tone steering wheel. And behind the passengers, a leather-lined trunk features ample storage space.
So there you have it: a sweet Chevy that wraps a proven drivetrain in striking aesthetics and comfortable upholstery. Call, click or visit RKMotors.com to make it yours!
