An incredible presence that's extremely enjoyable to drive and
show, you will get plenty of attention with this
beautiful one of a kind Woody Wagon. One must truly
marvel at the forward thinking that goes into this level
of creativity, not to mention the ability to see it thru
to the finished product, a wonderfully planned
transformation. Retaining much of its "Cadillac of
Trucks" spirit, this prior Tillamook County, Oregon
Model 509 service truck is far from it's original
intended use....
All steel, retaining its original cowl, windshield, front/rear
fenders, hood trim, grill and headlights but that's
where it's stops. Countless hours of tedious fabrication
include many hand built, re-formed or highly modified
all steel body structure components. Features include
factory windshield chopped 1 1/2", roof line to tail
1935 Pontiac, original working side cowl vents, original
front & rear fenders (reversed), hand made steel body
structure/doors/rear gate & running boards. The exterior
is hand finished with real "Walnut" hardwoods over steel
skin, "Hartz" soft cloth roof/running boards w/Walnut
roof trim and PPG Mocha-Tan body w/subtle fender/hood
ghost flames...
Under the hood resides a well built and very drivable Chevy 350
350HP V8 that's force fed by a well tuned "Weiend"
blower and "Edelbrock" 4bbl AFB Carburetor. Other
features include, GM HEI Ignition, Serpentine belt drive
system, aluminum radiator w/temp controlled cooling
fans, aluminum Ram-Horn Manifolds w/custom dual exhaust,
polished billet dress and 700R4 auto overdrive transmission..
Resting on an updated chassis, it all starts with a modified Dodge
Dakota frame featuring custom fitted fully independent
F/R suspension including 1988 Nissan Turbo 300ZX rear
differential/trailing-arms/half-shafts/stabilizer-bar &
shocks, updated adjustable air ride suspension, 4 wheel
power disc brakes. Power Steering and and finally
rolling on 17" Colorado Custom-Chromo Design wheels w/radial rubber...
Moving inside you will find plenty of style and creature comforts
including dual power Audi bucket seats (driver/pass),
power front windows, Vintage Air Conditioning/Heat,
Cruise Conatrol, Tilt Steering column, custom Diamond T
steering wheel, custom dash w/Classic Instruments &
center console, Walnut interior trim, overhead Eclipse
AM FM stereo w/4 speaker audio, modern Ron Francis
wiring and battery disconnect. You get the idea, wicked,
wild, functional and elegant, all in the same breath.... |
