1954 CHEVROLET PICKUP w/ 507 C.I. ELDORADO; AUTO, 4" CHOP, TILT BED (video)

Description

Here is a rare opportunity to own a unique, reliable, fun, and attention getting 1954 Chevrolet pickup.This professionally built street rod / hot rod is powered by a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado 507-cu. in. engine mounted in the BED, mated to a 1954 Chevrolet pickup frame.

NO TRADES

The truck was built by an individual in Indiana approximately 8 years ago, who sold it to the current owner.After the purchase the buyer realized there were many mechanical issues which needed to be addressed with the engine and transmission, so he rebuilt them both.See specifics below.

Since the rebuild in 2013 only 1,000 miles have been logged on the truck attending shows and cruise events around the mid-Atlantic area.

Receipts for all work the present owner performed is included.

As far as handling, ride, and comfort it is a pleasure.Please note that the Chevy is slightly ‘light’ on the front-end and driving it like a sports car or drag racer is not advisable.At highway speeds or cruising in town it handles like a regular rear wheel drive auto.

Selling for personal reasons.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period.Approximately 10 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage.These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
