This Star Chief is a former Good Guys Cruiser Award Winner and an MSRA Custom of the Year Finalist. It has undergone an absolutely beautiful, no expense spared, frame off custom build. An LS1 was chosen as the power plant and the block was also painted Magenta. The Valve colors were sprayed the same Pearl White as the rest of the car. Everything else has been polished or chromed to show quality. An electronic 6 speed automatic was mated to the Corvette engine. A Fat Man independent front suspension with power rack and pinion steering make driving this big car much more pleasurable. The rear suspension has adjustable air shocks with the gauge and control panel nicely installed in the center console. Vintage Air distributes the air conditioning and the heat. Power disc brakes were an absolute must during this restoration as well. The interior was recovered and customized with white ultra leather and magenta embroidered Chiefs in the headrests. The paint on this car is possibly the best laid Pearl I have ever seen. Pictures cannot do this paint justice. White Sunset Red Pearl with the Magenta Candy Apple Red is just about flawless. The bright work is in very nice condition as well. The trunk was finished off nicely with leather covered panels and matching carpet. This car is still in show quality and ready to win more awards. You have to come see this Star Chief in person. You will not be disappointed.
