This car is available to purchase now in New Zealand, with pickup from CBD, Taupo.
This all-steel Chevrolet has undergone a comprehensive restoration and build, resulting in a vehicle that combines classic pre-war looks with modern V8 performance, reliability, and drivability.
At the heart of the build is a powerful LS1 V8 engine, complemented by a custom intake system, custom-fabricated headers, desert-core radiator, and a 18-inch electric cooling fan. Exhaust gases flow through a fully custom exhaust system featuring a crossover pipe, delivering an unmistakable V8 soundtrack.
The vehicle has been extensively upgraded underneath and is fully certified, featuring:
- LS1 V8 engine conversion
- GM 4L60E automatic transmission
- Genuine Jaguar XJ40 independent front suspension
- Power steering
- Central locking
- Front & rear disc brakes
- Power-assisted braking system
- Holden differential
- Leaf-spring rear suspension
- TSW 18-inch alloy wheels
- New genuine Chevrolet running boards
- New fuel tank (approximately 15 gallons)
- Electric wiper conversion
- Battery isolation switch
- Rear-view camera
- Fully functioning modern cooling system
Despite the modern mechanical upgrades, the car retains many original Chevrolet features.
This is not a rough hot rod or unfinished project. It is a well-executed, fully certified build that starts easily, drives beautifully, and attracts attention wherever it goes. The combination of classic 1930s Chevrolet styling, modern LS1 power, and quality workmanship makes it equally suited to shows, cruising, and long-distance touring.
