Details

Known as 'Shagnasty,' this 1955 Chevrolet Gasser-style coupe is powered by a 1973 454ci block with a 396 rotation, 11:1 compression and 1969 375hp square-port heads, Edelbrock tunnel ram with two 450 Holley carburetors, Cal Custom valve covers and custom air scoop. The engine is mated to a Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission with a 3000-stall converter. The engine is cooled with an aluminum radiator with an electric fan while spent gases exit through a 3-inch exhaust system with a set of fender-well headers, capable of being uncorked into open headers. The front suspension is a Speedway straight-axle with a rear mini-tub with a ladder-bar setup and coilovers holding in place a 9-inch (31-spline) posi-traction with 3.42 gears. Stopping is handled with 4-wheel disc brakes. The 'Shagnasty' script was hand-painted on top of the clear and can be removed if desired. The bucket-seat interior is diamond-stitched, including the seats, door panels and carpet. The package tray is also covered. The backs of the front seats are custom-painted to match the car's exterior detail. The trunk is clean and finished in black with a black cargo mat, houses the battery for easy access and has a stock gas tank underneath. The front tires are Pro-Trac with Rocket wheels, and the rears are Craiger SS wheels with M&H Racemaster Sport/Street tires.
