Great 8 winner! 110 miles since finished.

Great 8 winner! This is one of the most coveted awards a hot rod can win! The custom fabrication and extreme attention to detail is very impressive. It would cost at least a 1/4 million dollars in a professional shop to duplicate today. Known as "Business Edition" it was built and owned by Samson Design, a high end shop with many national awards to their credit. They kept the car until 2017 showing it at major events to showcase their work. It was also featured in Street Rodder magazine. It won in 2011 at the Detroit Autorama and has only 110 miles since.

EXTERIOR: Shaved, nosed, and decked. The body work is the best of the best. Arrow straight, no shrinkage or damage. The trim, handles, gutters, taillights were removed and filled smooth. The hood, rockers and trunk lid were lengthened 3/4 inch. The grill was smoothed and custom parking lights were added. Rich looking deep brown metallic with golden highlights in the sun. DuPont premium paint. The bumpers and miscellaneous trim were painted a pewter color. New smoked glass. Custom headlights and a horizontal taillight. Staggered size Billet Specialty wheels: 18s in front, 20s in back. Custom made "Business Edition" center caps were installed.

INTERIOR: Worthy of the finest luxury car. The design, materials workmanship is highly impressive. A custom console has a Locar shifter and a panel hiding the controls. In back, a pair of luggage compartments gives it a unique look. The metal dash was completely altered for a clean look. It features a custom designed gauge cluster and a ribbed shield design that is replicated a few times on the car. Even under the dash is completely boxed and upholstered.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Custom fabricated inner pans and dual intake air cleaner really says custom! The motor and heads were deburred smooth and painted to match the car. It's powered by a 355 built by Rick Darling Performance. On top is an Endurashine intake and Edelbrock carb. The headers are polished.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It has been boxed and upholstered to match the interior. Even under the lid has a custom upholstered panel and the hinges are covered in leather boots. The fuel filler is hidden in the trunk. The trunk lid opens from inside the car.

UNDERSIDE: Wow, the detail is amazing. Countless hours were spent making the underside of this car show quality. All the metal is smooth and filled with the same attention to detail as on top. Fatman Fabrications drop spindles and custom swaybar. Custom cross member fits around the motor. In back is a 4 link suspension with QA1 adjustable coilover gas shocks and tubular control arms. Custom brake system with disc at all four wheels. All stainless exhaust polished like chrome and it exits in the center of the car in back. Fabricated fuel tank notched out for the exhaust. The bottom of the motor and trans has aluminum finned oil pan, flywheel cover and transmission pan. It has a Turbo 350 automatic, custom driveshaft and 1957 Chevy rear with 3.73 posi gears.

SERVICE: We inspected the car and prepared it better for driving. We installed a spacer between the carb and manifold, so it runs good when it's warm. We greased the front end, adjusted the exhaust, and tightened the rear suspension to cure some rattles. We rebuilt the idler arm, set the alignment, better installed the steering box, replace the brake light switch, tightened the pedal pivots, bled the brake system, and replaced the front wheel studs with longer ones.

Simple yet elegant. This is an incredible custom build. You and I will never fully appreciate the effort that went into all the little details. This car will kill it at local shows. It's an incredible value!

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
