Lot #1331 - The Mastermind 1955 Chevy, built by John Bradley of Patrick's Classy Cars, explores contemporary modification techniques, while retaining the flavor of the classic style. European leather and colors dress the custom interior. Four bucket seats with console provide support and comfort. The billet D-shaped steering wheel is atop a chrome tilt column and complements the interior. The custom LED-lit headliner is a "can't miss." Mercedes wool carpet is used inside, as well as in the fully upholstered trunk. Door panels feature brushed stainless inserts, trigger-style releases, power windows and LED lighting. Power is provided by a 6.0-liter V8 engine with a T56 TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission. A polished aluminum driveshaft turns a 3.90 Truetrac 9-inch Ford rear end. It features ceramic-coated exhaust with Art Morrison headers. The chassis was custom-built using Art Morrison components with all chrome or polished stainless-steel fasteners. Power rack & pinion steering is mounted to polished control arms. Strange Engineering coilovers, big 13-inch Wilwood brakes and performance sway bars are incorporated front and rear. Schott custom-built 18- and 20-inch wheels with BFGoodrich rubber provide the stance. It features air conditioning through the factory dash vents and controls, power locks, power gas door, power trunk latch, modern wiper system, smoked glass, backlit custom upgraded Bel Air scripting, sill plates and custom stainless trim throughout. Body modifications include smoothed hood and decklid, shaved door locks, smooth front and rear bumpers, smooth cowl vent, smoothed firewall and custom-built inner fenders.
