| Welcome to an incredible world of chopped tops, pastel pearl
paints, and slammed suspensions, this is the collection of
Richard Zocchi. Richard is very well known internationally for
his impressive award winning customs. The customs, all designed
by Richard, blend long flowing bodies, chopped tops, and an
incredible attention to detail to create some of the best customs
in the world. All customs typically start off with an excellent
low mileage original car (sorry purists).These cars are typically
shown for one season and then retired. They are typically only
shown at a few select California shows, never out of the state.
With a new custom being built annually, space for all of these
classics is running out, even for Richard. Being offered here is
one of those classics. Some of these cars have been sitting for
many years and may require some minor mechanical massaging to get
them street ready and some are ready to go now. Please call with
any questions. |
| TOP: The top has been chopped three inches. All body work was
performed by John Aiello of Marco's Lucky 7 Customs of Antioch, CA. |
| BODY: Headlights were frenched two inches with hand-made chrome rings.
The chrome grill was made out of 3/8" aluminum bars, created by Glory Grills. The front
bumper was frenched by extending the pan over the top of the bumper with the use of round rod.
Bumper bolts were flushed.
Wheel wells and rockers were lowered 3/4". All door and trunk handles were eliminated and Unkl Al's solenoids were installed. Taillights were frenched three inches with hand-made chrome rings. Perforated metal was used over red plastic to create the taillights then capped off with a large bullet. The license plate was frenched into the body and the gas nozzle was put into the trunk. The rear bumper pan was hand-made and the bumper bolts were flushed and the bumper ends were capped off with a nice clean look. Stainless on doors was re-worked to eliminate the key hole to create a continuous unbroken line. New gold anodized inserts were made and installed. |
PAINT: Paint is blue-green PPG mixture by Marcos Garcia, owner of Lucky 7 Customs of Antioch, CA. All the edges of the stainless and body were fogged in (highlighted) a darker shade of the same color. |
SUSPENSION: Suspension sits on air bags. |
INTERIOR: Bucket seats were used and lowered for head clearance. Upholstery is white pearl trimmed with blue-green ultra suede. Plush blue-green carpets finish off this perfect setting. Work was performed by Bob Divine of Martinez, CA who also installed a high tech Pioneer stereo system. |
| ENGINE: Running gear is a Ford 351 Cleveland. |
| WHEELS/TIRES: Hubcaps were custom made from a 1956 Lincoln
Premiere, capped off with a bullet. Tires are Diamondback Classics 195 R-75-15. |
| OVERALL CONDITION: Show ready. |
| SUMMARY: This is a gorgeous custom rod that draws an incredible amount of attention everywhere it goes. Incredible car for the discriminating collector.
