You have just come across, what we are told, one of the nicest all-steel custom coupes you may find. There are a lot of different levels of custom cars available, but this one utilizes subtle customizations to create a one-of-a-kind look. It really has that touch of class that you may not see in some dramatically overdone cars. The sleek black paint and perfect body lines work together creating a beautiful exterior that commands attention.

The fit and finish is something you don't always see in these cars with all of the gaps having cleaner and more consistent lines then you would expect from the factory. Over 45 well-disguised body modifications were completed - all in steel. There isn't a “patch panel” anywhere on the body. Shaved, smoothed, decked, molded headlights, molded taillights, inset LED turn signals, custom side panels, the list goes on and on of the styling elements found on this car. Even when it comes to the fenders, new old stock components were used, keeping the car entirely free of fiberglass.

Over 10 years and countless dollars were invested in the car with only top-of-the-line components used throughout. This landed the car a featured spot in Street Scene magazine and it gets looks of appreciation wherever you take it. The car has a great stance and rides around on Billet Specialties wheels that are polished out to a beautiful finish and wrapped with Goodyear tires.

Powering this custom is a new crate big-block 502 V-8 Chevrolet engine that runs just as well as its clean installation looks. The car has undergone a full NSRA 23-point inspection and has been road proven with just over 8,080 miles. This is the type of custom that can drive you across country to a show and still compete with the “trailer queens.” The combination of chrome and custom carbon fiber under the hood creates a unique look that expresses toughness. Ceramic coated headers are in place and deliver a great sound through dual exhaust. Backing the engine are a 4L80E automatic transmission and Ford nine-inch posi-traction rear end that were both new prior to the build. Other high-end components include the four-wheel disc brakes, Heidts stainless front end, polished stainless tank, Ron Francis wiring and more.

The interior of the car is finished out in light beige ultra -leather that is still in like new condition. It is extremely comfortable and has a very clean look. The dash is free of clutter and only topped with chrome air conditioning vents, chrome air conditioning and heater controls, Dakota Digital gauges, wiper controls and a custom hidden tachometer. The tilt steering column was painted to match the dash and upholstery, plus it is topped with a custom beige wrapped billet steering wheel. Only polished control arms were used on the column and cruise control is also in place. Behind the seats the back has been finished out with custom paneling that incorporates an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player with remote and custom mounted speakers. The trunk of the car is complete in carrying over the same carpet and leather as the interior.
