F/S Custom 1955 Chevy Suburban

the mod list is extensive but here is a little rundown

http://www.ridejudge.com/featured/September01/


the car was just completely rewired w/ a painless wiring kit. Car also has new Baer Brakes. The mod list is extensive. Any questions ask me. Asking price $80K

Would also like to state that this car is a DRIVER, I've put over 2,000 miles on it in the past 6 months w/ no problems. Cruises perfect on the freeway, etc.


again, any questions ask me




if you know anyone interested please pass this on, thank you.

got offered more before the car was even done. This thing has won an award in every show it has been in, nothing was skipped over. It is a true world class custom. It is by far the nicest suburban i've seen, and that's not being bias. Gotta look not just at the car, but all the mods that went into it. Car was chopped 3" out of the windows, pillars slanted forward and then 2" chopped out fo the roof cowl and that's just a fraction of the body mods that have gone into this thing. That shit is unheard of in a car this size.

trust me it's not, a similiar one sold down here that wasn't chopped didn't have near the detail for a little under 60K. Of course I'll have to find the right buyer. Take a look at some of the hot rods that have gone through the BJ auction blocks lately, this thing is just as nice.


and of course, as with anything the price is negotiable. Also willing to accept trades.

you obviously have no idea what goes into these things. Go try to start this project from scratch and expect a shop to charge you atleast 100K for the finished project.

Wow best of luck in the selling process.

Yeah customs are hot right now. You definitely need to find the right buyer though. A high end auction might be the way to go but I'm sure the fees are high.

well, it doesn't matter if they are your cup or tea, you obviously didn't know how expensive they are
