1949 Chevrolet Custom Gasser
- If you have never heard of a gasser, these high powered customs typically lived at the drag strip.
- These cars were stripped of any extra weight and raised for optimal weight distribution when accelerating. In other words, they were created to go fast!
- This 1949 Chevrolet Custom has the total vintage Gasser look every old hotrodder will recognize. - The body is painted in a flat Black and has been stripped of all un needed weight like the hood, grill, bumpers, trim and all the other decorative pieces.
- The only decoration this car needs is the hot rod stickers that would have been sponsors back in the day. - It is a 49 body but the car is actually titled as a 51.
- The front and rear windshield are standard glass but the side windows have been replaced with Red which gives it a very intimidating look if you were to pull up next to it planning on a race.
- American Racing wheels are found in back with Wide White wall slicks and E/T gasser wheels up front for the ultimate vintage dragster look.
- Typically the motor is just what provides power to the car but in a open gasser like this the engine is just as much an exterior feature as the paint.
- The 355 c.i. motor sticks proudly up front letting everyone know this car was built to drive.
- It is fitted with aluminum heads, a tunnel ram, dual 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetors, chrome pulleys, chrome brackets, a chrome scoop air cleaner, ceramic coated headers, aluminum radiator and finned valve covers.
- Mated up to the motor is a Turbo 350 automatic transmission with 4000 stall converter which sends power back to the 3.73 gear Chevy 10 bolt positraction rear end.
- Just because it has that gasser look doesn't mean you need to sacrifice all the luxuries so power disc brakes were added with disk up front.
- The car also utilizes a trunk mounted fuel cell and optima battery.
- The interior is done in all Black and is fitted with aftermarket bucket seats. - A tall skull topped shifter is routed to the floor and moves through the gears smoothly. -The original speedometer is mounted to the dash but an aftermarket set of Autometer gauges and tachometer with shift light was also installed.
- A tilt steering column is mounted in front of the driver and is topped with a Pilot steering wheel.
- If you don't like people checking out your car then this may not be the classic for you because wherever it goes it is sure to get attention. - It has an awesome look and represents a class of car a lot of people aren't familiar with.
