It took over $160,000 worth of work creating this pro-touring 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline. At the heart of the vehicle is a turbocharged 6.0 L LSx V8 producing 650-800 hp. The motor features a LQ4 longblock with a LS9 camshaft and Turbonetics 7868 Benita turbocharger. Behind that is a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end with a 3.89 ratio. The car rides on an independent front suspension and triangulated four-link rear suspension. An Airlift system with Ridetech shocks allows the car to ride low. The body is chopped three inches and the side trim removed for a sleek appearance. The car was sold in 2023 by Garage Kept Motors.
