This is one of several cars from an estate, what you will read in the description about the car is all that is known. The car has been sitting for about 4 years in covered storage since the owner passed, it has been started regularly and driven around the storage facility but has maybe 200 miles total since built. It actually was finished at the time of the owners passing and was finished in memoriam since it was almost done. It was shown at 2 car shows local and that's it. It just had a new battery installed, serviced and detailed prior to me taking the pictures. I crawled around the underside, inside and topside to get a good look at the car, this is the one you want if your serious about a 50 Chevy convertible. This car is as clean underneath as I've seen as for signs of previous or existing rust. The paint is very nice, it has been done with the goal of showing with pride and the color is believed to be Brandy Wine. The body is very straight and that speaks volumes as to the prep work involved to get that finish, a paint job like this is not cheap. Look at the reflections in the pictures, like a mirror! The chrome is also in beautiful shape, the bumper guards were left off for a cleaner look since it is a resto mod rather than an original. The Cragar wheels are nice and add to the period look. The cloth top works perfectly, there is a boot when it's down and it has a glass back window. The engine is believed to be a GM crate engine, ZZ4 based on the aluminum heads and black block. Yes it sounds very nice. The polished Tuned Port Injection system was added as well as a generous helping of billet aluminum to dress it up. It has Ceramic coated headers, March pulleys, SS PS hoses, billet radiator hose sleeves, Corvette valve covers, Be-Cool aluminum radiator, electric fan, K&N air filter and more. The transmission is a 700R4 but is unknown if it has a stall converter or not. The rear end is a 10 bolt but I didn't check the gear ratio or determine if it's a posi. It was built here in town by Fearless Gear, I could research it with them if the need arises. The exhaust runs out with aluminized pipes so they'll stay looking good, it passes thru a set of glass packs and goes all the way out the back so you don't make a dust storm at the shows. The A/C did not work at the time of taking the pictures.. The interior was replaced with original style upholstery throughout, it gives it the right look. The dash has the original radio and gauges by Classic Instruments. All of the gauges appeared to be working as did the speedometer but for some reason the odometer is not registering so it may not be hooked up, it is electric I think. There is a hidden stereo with a CD changer mounted under the dash. The steering column is the original since this was originally an automatic car, all that was done was to add the adapter for the rack & pinion. The trunk area is finished of nicely with panels to cover the air tank and battery. Lots of attention to detail everywhere. There are a couple of things that need attention and are noted here. Both outside door handles don't open the doors properly, these will need to have the rods adjusted. The A/C system will need to be charged. The battery goes dead sitting and the culprit is the compressor for the air bags, it is hooked up to full time power and needs to be wired to switched power. The driver quarter glass has a crack from something bumping it in storage. Odometer doesn't register, believed to not be hooked up. That is all that was noticed by myself as I looked the car over, if I missed something it is very minor.
