SUMMARY: This car started off as a Del Ray and had some Bel Air trim added during the build. Less than 1,000 miles since built. It would cost over $100k to replicate this car. This is the way to buy a car, a finished show winner ready to drive today for way less than it would cost you to build it yourself. Drives like a normal car due to the quality of the build. Tons of torque. Sounds absolutely incredible. This is not a cobbled together overpriced amateur built car but, is infact a very well planned out and built street rod that will save someone a great deal of time, money and trial and error. This car can be bought directly from the private owner.
