Hello, have up for bids is a 1951 Chevy Deluxe Roadster. It started out as a 4 door, ut has been customized into what you see here today. The heart of the car is powered by a 1994 truck 350 engine that has been bored over .030 and has all new insides. Eagle crank, peed master connection rods, eal power pistons, omp cams camshaft that has good power without the bumpy lope. It is runninghydraulic lifterincluding adouble roller timing set and cam button. Mahle rings, levite"H" rod bearing, CL main bearings, elling oil pump with new hardened drive rod and new pickup. It has a polished Aluminum oil pan installed. The heads are factory "vortec" heads with stainless steelElgin Valves, 28 springs good to .550 lift, s well as keepers and hats. They have full roller rockers that as well arestainless steel. All the Gaskets are Fel-pro. I have a full set of pictures of the engine build-up from the "core" to installation. The engine has 21.7 miles on it and has the break-in oil from Royal Purple in it and a K&N oil filter. I will be including a new K&N oil filter to the winning bidder. ALL the accessories are new. 140 Amp alternator running a Gilmer drive for a nice small blower noise.A new starter and a couple year old Optima Red top battery that is mounted under the floor board on the passenger side. The distributor is new, nd has a new MSD street fire coil, park plugs wires, nd AC plugs. The injectors are 23 lbs injectors from bosch 4's and have been match flow sized from the extreme FI. The engine has a custom tune from TPIchips and a Techrod main harness.I would say the engine has plenty of power but with the low time and miles on it I haven't pushed it hardly... but for the little I did do it flat MOVES!
The automatic 700R4 was rebuilt 1400 miles ago and has a SMALL stall converter. I built this for cruising not racing. It shifts with authority but not hard. The Hurst Indy shifter installed and has a custom dice knob. It is a rod style shifter so no linkage to melt on the exhaust as well as firm shifts.
The Rear end is a 1978 Camaro differential that has been reworked with a 3.73 ring and pinion from motive gear. During the installation it had new bearing installed and a remanufactured G80 unit. The rear of the car under acceleration is good. The rear brakes was also completely been redone at that time too. Every spring, eeper and wheel cylinder was replace.
The front suspension is the factory suspension with a kit from Chevs of the 40's disc brake kit. It has calipers and rotorsfrom a 78 Camaro and new wheel bearings was used. The brakes are all connected to a 7" power disc brake booster with a new master cylinder and proportioning valvefrom speedway. The thing stops on a dime.
The exhaust is 2 1/4" exhaust with dyna flow mufflers and run to the back bumper. Its a roadster so I didn't want something that was obnoxious, o it has a nice mellow sound, ut still says I have power. It has Camaro exhaust manifolds on since headers are a pain in the butt.
The cooling system is a 3- 1 inch thick core all aluminum radiator, ith a ford Taurus cooling fan set on high. The weather in Kansas is hot(100 plus in summer) and it has never been over 200 degrees. It has a 100 amp fan controller for automatic turn on and off. at 195 it turns on and turns off at 180. With that said, his fan requires a lot of power so the 140 amp alternator was used. It also has a manual turn on and off.
The Car has a wonderful sound system for cruising. It has a Boss audio DVD player with 4.3 LCD monitor that has a detachable face for security, Kenwood 200 watt amp to a New Rockford fosgate 12" 2ohmsubwoofer. I have installedfour 6 1/2" Crunch 3 way door and rear panel speakers... and I must say, t sounds incredible.
The Seats are from a Ford focus ZX2 cloth seats. They are comfortable and have head rests that can be removed if desired. Since this car is a roadster there is no point having a heater, o I installed carbon fiber 2 position heated seats. Both the seatback and the seat bottom has heaters, ut only the front seat have them. They have high and low temp settings and the controllers are on the center console next to the cup holders. The rear seats also match the front and they fold downalmost flush. There are two cup holders for your rear passengers too. All the seats have lap belts for 4 people. The car is classifiedas 5 passenger but you would have to install one more seat belt. All the interior is new. Custom door panels, ith aluminum trim. Billet Handles, nd black carpet. The center console is made from wood as well as the rear deck and side panel arm rests. It is all covered with black or gray soft fabric with slight patterning. The console lid is padded with soft foam and opens to reveal a storage compartment for insurance and stuff.
The car is lowered. The rear is lowered 4" and the front is lowered 5". It has rubber cushionsunderthe front springs to make the ride better. I don't think it rides bad for a car that has been staticilly lowered. I have a set of new front springs that raises it up 1" -2" if you would like them. The body of the car is great! I have a lot of pictures of the build up, rom the purchase, nstalling the steel caps, o the small patches and hole from the trim plugs to the paint.There is some bruises here and there, nd my body work is not perfect,but I built it in mind that my young kids would probably will be in it or around it. It has ZERO rust and has a bunch of undercoating on it to stop any rust from forming. The top has damaged by a tree and that is the reason for the customizing. The doors and top cap has been welded up with 1/8 and 1/4 inch steel for support, apped and smoothed. The paint is Hot Rod satin black from summit racing, nd the blue satin is from TCI. I have more paint for touch up included in the auction. I have a new rear bumper installed on the back and a "drivers" condition front bumper from a 1955 210. It has pitting and some oxidation on it. The windshield is lexan from a race car and is in beautiful condition. With saying that, he windshield wipersdo not work. They are on there for the Kansas law. Wipers on a roadster, ou don't drive in the rain. If you get accidentally get caught in the rain, have a 100% weather proof car cover so your investment is protected. The lights all work. It has headlights, top, tag, nd direction signal lights. (in 1951 they didn't have reverse lights.) I have installed reproduction 1959 Cadillac rocket lights on the back. The horn is on the starter button on the dash and works well and is loud.To protect the car, have a "master" key in the old glove box. That key kills the complete car other than the heated seats and lights. It will not start without that key! The glove box will lock so I take the key out and lock the glove box. Its not a high tech security system but this stops everyone without a key! No one is driving off with it unlike a car alarms that can be tricked. Also in the glove box is a12 voltport for a phone charger and the ALDL computer connection.I have the fender skirts, ndoriginal bumpers if you want them too. I will buy a flash drive and include all the picture's I have of the build-up and engine build upand I will also include a new K&N oil filter. I have driven this car on and off for the last 2 years, nd I drive it any time I can. I get compliments every time I've stopped for gas. I've taken it to cruise in's and car shows and had a blast! I'm sure I've forgotten something. Please, mail, allor text1-316-253-5072 if you have questions. If you get the machine leave a message and i'll call you back I cannot receive phone calls at work between 5 am- 4 pm but texts are ok. I'll take offers for a buy it now. Shipping is up to you to arrange, ut I will help load. AS IS, here is.no warranty.
Thanks for looking!
DAVID
