This is an excellent example of a high-performance custom Pro-Street Show Car, which retains the basic external looks and characteristics of this 60 year old classic.
The frame-off restoration was executed by D&P Classic Chevy of Westminster, CA. D&P have long established themselves as the premium ‘tri-five” Chevy restoration and custom rebuild shop in the country.
