Description
Lot #263 - This 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe is the product of a complete nut-and-bolt restoration that was completed in 2016. It’s powered by a 496ci Chevrolet big-block engine outfitted with a Ron Davis aluminum radiator, backed by a TH400 automatic transmission with a streetable torque converter and a narrows 8-3/4” Chrysler rear end with limited-slip center section and 3.73 gears. The firewall was moved back to accommodate the large engine, and Fat Man drop-spindles were added to the front for a low-crawling stance. The rear section of the body has been narrowed to allow for wider tires. The exhaust features dual Flowmaster mufflers and H-pipe. The glass is all-new, the original stainless trim was restored, the weatherstripping is new, and all hardware - including latches, hinges and handles - is original GM equipment. This Chevy is finished in PPG Rodder Gray base coat/clear coat paint over an all-new interior.
