1956 Chevrolet Street Rod

This is a brand new, frame off, one off, one of a kind Street Rod Tri-Five! Everything on this car is brand new and professionally built by Mark Dragonette of Dragonette Automotive Design in Marin County California. This fine 56 started life as a rock solid 210 model with a rust free California body. I have never seen such awesome fit & finish as this car. The seams and fit up are outstanding. All of the moldings and emblems were shaved off for a modern clean design. Even the drip rails were shaved off. Trick! The PPG Mercedes paint is fantastic! This car rides on a custom built C-4 Corvette chassis, including all the underpinnings, as well as the rear end. All of the tubular tuned suspension pieces are there with 4 wheel disc brakes and Fosse 18"/20" custom wheels. The killer stance is perfect! The entire underbody was sprayed with semi-gloss Lixex to protect the underbody and the frame is painted. The suspension pieces are natural aluminum. With a polished gas tank, the chassis looks just as good as the top side. The custom designed interior started with a sketch on a clean sheet of paper. The execution of the design is immaculate. It features dual leather power bucket seats with power recliners. A one off console houses a Bazooka sub woofer. The Sony CD stereo is satellite ready and sounds incredible with a JL audio amp and Harmon speakers complete with individual tweeters. The sound is crystal clear as it should be because the owner was none other than Gregg Rolie of Santana & Journey fame. Gregg is a true "Car Guy"! He has become a good buddy of ours. He is a great singer/songwriter/musician/producer and has a keen ear for music. He has written some legendary songs and his new music is incredible. Check him out at www.greggrolie.com to catch up with him. He is a great guy and we love hanging out with him. Ok, back to this incredible car. It has all the comforts you would expect in a new car i.e.: Power windows, cold air conditioning, even in the back seat through the custom console, smoke tinted glass, padded dash, tilt wheel, center folding rear arm rest, custom headliner, and a clean modern look. Power comes from a 350 horse/350 V-8 crate motor with automatic overdrive transmission. The engine compartment looks like jewelry! It has the typical hot rod stuff. Jet Hot coated headers, custom exhaust, aluminum intake, chrome valve covers, 4 barrel carb etc... The billet front runner system has a polished Vintage Air compressor, chrome alternator, and modern power steering mounted to it. That really cuts down on noise, vibration, and harshness. The core support has a polished multi-core radiator. Even the horns look good on this car. I could probably write for hours about this car but it really has to be seen to appreciate. It runs, rides, and drives like a new car and handles like a Vette. It is smooth, quiet, and comfortable. I know it is very expensive but the quality is impeccable and it is truly a one of a kind.
