Description of 1953 Chevrolet Chevy 150 |
|
This car was professionally appraised less than 60 days ago by a professional appraiser (Best in Show AKA BIS) at a retail value of $85K Here are the photos from the the appraisalphotos:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xdyRmibC6PXFEVwsk3w9Gy5JUyZvG2h7?usp=sharing This car is a driver -- it has some "character flaws" but the overall quality is great/amazing but not flawless. It is sold "as is" and no warranty on the car. The engine has a warranty from blueprint motors for ~30K miles (professionally installed in late May.) I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. It has not been to a lot of shows but it has won best custom at Capitola Car Show, Sponsor's Choice at Custom Capital and Staff Pick at Goodguys Custom Nationals -- all in 2019. Details:Built by Skoty Chops -- the metalwork is artwork -- the chop is perfectThe rear suspension 4 link in the rear is Skoty ChopsFront suspension is a mustang II ultra-low by fatman fabricationThe engine and trans were raised 3 inches to allow the car to lay frame -- you cannot get any lowerThe 383 stoker motor was tested and shipped with 440 hpHoly Sniper EFIThe transmission is smooth and fun to driveIt has Cadillac Sombrero hubcaps on the front wheels -- welded to beauty ringsCustomer extended skirts are on the rear -- full custom -- hand madeAccuair system with remote control -- updated the computer in May 2019Door Poppers (need to be adjusted but installed)Bluetooth stereo with ampCustom white interior -- teal carpetFused bumpersShaved hoodCustom Akzo Nobel paint color -- no patternMustang II gas tank and shaved gas door -- located in the trunkCustom luggage in the trunk to hide gas tank filler nozzleHushpower exhaustCustom made front glass -- rear glass is stockPainless WiringAll gaugesrebuilt by Palo Alto Speedometer The car's door poppers are installed but need to be adjusted as the interior door panel doesn't allow for the metal rod to move -- it needs to be changed to a wire/cable. I have not done as I love driving the car and didn't want to take it back to an interior shop, to take it to a fabricator to take it back to the interior shop. It is not a lot of work nor is it an expensive fix I just don't have time and prefer driving the car than chasing a small fix that doesn't bother me. There are a several other small fixes needed -- like every custom/classic car but nothing that keeps you from driving around town or long road trips. Another example: the stereo knob is missing on a stereo that doesn't work because there is a Bluetooth system. After building the car for 3+ years -- I just wanted to drive it. Now I have too many classic cars and two old daily drivers and no space. So I am selling it to buy a new car for a daily driver -- that's the only reason. The price reduction from the appraised 85K reflects the fact I know about some small issues and don't want to bicker or deal with someone who thinks its a trailer queen or that they are the next richard rawlings and can "steal" the car at half the listed rate. I live in Northern CA and if you asked me to drive to LA in the car today--I wouldn't think twice about it. Its a blast to drive. |
