57 Chev Pickup Hotrod Classic Muscle CAR BIG Block Collector CAR RAT ROD

 1957 chev commercial pickup mounted on a HQ panelvan chassis.
The body is channeled approx 8 inches over the chassis to give a nice low appearance without sacrificing ride quality.

This old girl has been fully engineered and approved for full registration.
The approving engineer is happy for me to provide his contact details in order to discuss all aspects of the compliance with a genuine buyer.

She is a great car and has given me many many years of fun driving to car events and cruising on the weekends.
She is ultra reliable and has many new parts added over the last 10 years that I have owned her.

I am putting her up for sale to a good home as we now have two little boys and can't fit the four of us in to go cruising.
She is currently on club registration but I had her on full rego for many years before going to club rego when our second little one came along.

The body is one of the best you will ever see and has new front guards. grille etc due to the previous owner having a slight altercation with a non moving object.
So he replaced everything rather repairing. The panel beater and spray painter are happy to provide details of the body condition and repaint.

I started off with making a new box bed rear for her (she was a flat tray) and a respray in green (cause I didn't like the original red).
But it ended up being a full strip back and almost everything replaced over two and a half years.

She has a full custom rear with approved fibreglass guards. steel stepside style tray all in a special green. (A bit like the cartoon colour Hulk)
She has a brand new crate 454 engine that has about 300klms on the clock. She isn't run in yet but is built to have 450 horsepower with the small cam in her. (its built for a bigger cam if you want more power)
She has a tunnel ram with twin 465 holley carbs. MSD 6AL ignition. A holley black fuel pump. Half inch lines etc etc.

She has a reconditioned turbo 400 with all the good bits. A full manual valve body etc.
She has a 9 inch diff with 3. 5 gears.
A lokar shifter and handbrake.
GTS steering wheel.

Pro star 8 inch and 10 inch wheels with 225 and 295 tyres. Big offset rims too as the chev guards give way more clearance then the HQ.
A set of white faced VDO Vintique guages
Power steering (also rebuilt before fitting).
Electric water pump (CRS- new).
Aussie desert coolers aluminium radiator. etc etc etc

I haven't put any rubbish components into her because I always wanted to able to jump in and drive her at a minute's notice.
She has been the baby of the family until the human ones came along. but we now need a classic or hotrod with four or five seats.
I would also be interested in a cool classic/muscle car/hotrod to take over the place of the old girl. Happy to consider a part trade with cash towards me if you have something cool.

She only needs a few minor things to make her perfect.

1. I will refit the steering column shroud I forgot to put back on when we fitted the power steering.
2. I will get a new window winder and door lock actuator from Classic Pickup supplies.
3. I will need to replace one power steering hose. It has a slight leak.

She is a really good and honest pickup and we have loved her for the last ten years. She will bring many many years of fun to her new owner.

If you have any questions please feel free to call but please only genuine enquiries as I work a lot of hours and just don't have the time to reminicise with you about your cars of 20 years ago.
But if you buy her I am happy to talk cars with you for hours. and would appreciate the occassional photo of places you take her in your travels.

I am a genuine seller with a great car so if you are a genuine buyer call me on 0438 738 454. Clint.

I have her advertised elsewhere so reserve the right to remove if I get a reasonable offer.

The starting price is the reserve price and is less then half of what she cost to build. You will not find better value for money.

No paypal please unless you are happy to cover all paypal costs. Bank transfer or cash are both ok.

Happy to help with freight providing the new owner arranges and pays for it. Can deliver to local brisbane freight companies or be available for a freight truck to pickup from my home on the northside of brisbane.

Thanks for looking.
