Description of 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline DeLuxe |
This old-school built 'time machine" takes you back to the early days of hot rodding. It was built mainly with vintage components from the speed shop days of stove bolt sixes before the introduction of the Chevy 265 V8 in 1955. It handles and drives and gives you the experience of hot rodding in the early 50s, like a 71 year old hot rod! I hate to disappoint you Motor Trend TV fanatics but its not a modern restomod. Sorry..... no Art Morrison Chassis, no LS motor, no power steering or brakes, no power windows and locks or any modern technology. That's why it's selling for under $30,000 and not $250,000 so be realistic in your expectations. If you're looking for a Dave Kindig, Chip Foose,Graveyard Cars build, visit Barrett Jackson and pony up six figures. On the other hand if you want a really cool car that turns heads at every show for under $30,000.00 continue..... https://youtu.be/5XS3ODmWKYg YouTube Video Custom 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe is the product of a 5-year, frame-off, nut-and bolt restoration (2007-2011). It’s powered by a custom-built, modified " captain bars' 261ci GM Stovebolt engine from a 1954-55 Chevy California dump truck, Competition Cam, that’s shifted through a completely rebuilt Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission. This Fleetline is equipped with brand new dual single Daytona carburetors, Fenton manifold and split headers, Wayne valve covers, Vintage air conditioning and heating system and custom Borla exhaust. It’s also equipped with a Fat Man Mustang II front end with 2-1/2” drop, Ford 8” rear end with 3.40 gears w/ 2” drop & front disc brakes. The exterior is finished in PPG Matte Black paint ( Harley Davidson Denim) with silver metallic blend and orange pin stripes, chromed original front and rear bumpers, new tinted glass and rubber & felts, and 15” vintage wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tires. The interior by Wanda's & Oscar's of Southern Cal features new Bentley custom carpet, headliner and floor mats, a custom-painted dash housing Auto Meter gauges, Glide front seat, Flaming River steering column topped with a Con2r steering wheel, Lokar pedals and handles, and a Pioneer custom audio system in the glovebox. This custom Chevy is outfitted with many other new parts including K&N filters, Flex-a-Lite fan and chrome air cleaners. The car has been driven 4,000+ miles since completion, it’s a crowd favorite and multiple trophy winner everywhere I’ve taken her since my purchase in 2019. This Southern California built Fleetline comes with a thick folder of build receipts detailing many aspects of the $60,000.00 build by a SEMA executive. It was also reported to be at one time co-owned by David Freiburger of "RoadKill" TV series. A future Rod & Custom magazine feature car was planned but never came about. There is a small paint flaw on the edge of the hood, see photos $500.00 Custom car cover, premium indoor cotton is included. SHE IS FULLY SERVICED AND READY TO GO!
