Classic cars are all about passion. Some of the nicest classics we feature are those built by folks who invest a large amount of time and money in to a project they simply love. And much to the surprise of casual onlookers, ost gearheads' dream builds don't always involve Ridler finalists or a prestigious pile of name brand parts that serves as garage floor dcor. Instead, hey're filled with impressive, ell-done cruisers, hich wrap modern power, veryday livability and top-notch road manners in about five times the curb appeal of a local showroom special. This stunning Chevy was painstakingly crafted into a first class piece of automotive art during a multi-year, igh dollar restoration. And thanks to a modern small block and virtually indestructible transmission, t also sports a fully sorted drivetrain that creates the perfect platform for cross-country road trips. Looking for a hot tri-five that's every bit as cool and twice as classy as a ground-up street rod? Take a long look at this killer Bel Air!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Infusing classic Chevrolet lines with striking Slate and Pearl two-stage, his fantastic sedan is the recent beneficiary of a high quality, rame-off restoration. That custom metallic on blue-tint pigment is stretched over solid, ll-GM sheetmetal. That old school iron aligns flat, how worthy reflections in tight fit and finish that would look right at home on much newer offerings. Smooth bumpers, moked glass, ual mirrors, owtie taillights and retrofitted "Fuel Injection" emblems add just the right amount of customization. And today, his Chevy rolls as the kind of awesome cruiser that we all stare at, any of us fondly remember, nd few of us have the opportunity to actually own!

ENGINE

Motivation comes courtesy of a 6.2 liter Vortec V8, hich is factory-rated at 403 horsepower in Cadillac's prestigious Escalade. Designed to move GM's largest offerings, he buff L92 utilizes lightweight aluminum construction and variable valve timing to create sharp throttle response and virtually endless torque. Caddy's familiar engine cover details monochromatic ornamentation with a super cool flame motif. A smooth serpentine system spins modern air conditioning beneath custom air and coolant tubes. A factory throttle body breathes through a conical air cleaner. There's a big aluminum radiator that, hanks to a polished support, ides between beefy electric puller fans and a polished overflow tank. And modern power steering combines with GM exhaust manifolds, Hydratech brake booster and Bosch Ultra Premium plug wires to detail an otherwise purpose-built performer. Aesthetically, he smooth, ody-matched engine compartment frames the L92's super clean casting in a technical appearance that oozes performance appeal. Niceties such as billet hood bracing, hrome hinges and braided fluid lines add just the right amount of flash. And the net result is a buttery, uscle-bound V8 that, hrough its distinctive rumble, oretells this Chevy's true hot rod nature.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Like its clean engine bay and classy exterior panels, he bottom of this road ready Bel Air continues the theme of pairing proven hardware with enhanced technology. The stout small block twists a proven 700R4 4-speed, hich is hooked to what appears to be C4-sourced Dana 44. Turns come courtesy of a fourth generation Corvette suspension, hich mixes quick reflexes with excellent road manners. Stops are provided by red, orvette-branded calipers, hich clamp vented rotors at all four corners. A custom, rue-dual exhaust system swirls spent gases through an X-shaped crossover, hroaty Magnaflow mufflers and polished stainless tips. A Paul Newman frame perfectly complements solid, late floors, hich ensure the car's flipside matches its topside. All that reliable hardware rides on C6 ZR1-style wheels, hich spin 225/55ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports in front of 255/45ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports. And fully sorted details like stainless brake lines, raided fuel hoses and a fresh fuel tank ensure years of carefree cruising.
