Description
The body was removed from the frame, the sheetmetal was repaired, shaved, and decked, and the car was painted in black with flames. At that time, the frame rails were boxed, and additional tubular crossmembers were welded in place. Exterior elements include a black convertible top with a matching top boot, chrome bumpers, a split windshield, vent windows, and shaved door handles. Additional close-up images detailing the soft top, lighting, and trim are provided in the gallery below.

Chrome-finished 16″ front and 17″ rear Wheel Vintiques steel wheels wear matching hubcaps and are mounted with wide-whitewall Champiro tires. Braking is handled by Wilwood front discs and rear drums, and the car has been modified with a Heidt’s independent front suspension system, rack-and-pinion power steering, and Ridetech air suspension.
The interior is said to have been reupholstered by Gabe’s Street Rod Interiors of San Bernardino, California, and it is equipped with Glide Engineering front and rear bench seats trimmed in red upholstery with coordinated door panels. Additional appointments include black carpets, Vintage Air climate control, lap belts, an analog clock, and a Pioneer head unit that hides behind a central dash cover along with HVAC controls and gauges for the air suspension.
A two-spoke steering wheel fronts a body-color steel dashboard housing Waltham instrumentation that includes a side-sweep 110-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates nine miles and not working according to the seller. True mileage is unknown.
A Chrysler 392ci FirePower Hemi V8 was reportedly rebuilt by Speed Sports of Gilbert, Arizona. The engine is finished in red and equipped with six Stromberg carburetors, Offenhauser intake manifolds, and tubular headers connected to a dual exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers. An oil change was carried out in 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Richmond five-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9″ rear end with 3.50:1 gears. The frame and driveline have been finished in red, and the rear axle features black and white pinstriping.
Photos documenting various stages of the refurbishment work can be viewed in the gallery.
