Great old school gasser! Excellent vintage hot rod that has been updated to gasser specs. Body paint, flares, etc. are all from the late 1960's.

This car/engine/restoration by well known Kurt Pedracci, owner of Hot Rod Machine in El Sobrante, California.
The 68 year old owner built this car to replicate the gassers he saw cruising and racing in 1965. He went to great lengths to keep as correct as possible to his memories with a few modern upgrades. The shortblock and transmission were put into this car in the late 1960's by a San Rafael firefighter who eventually put the car in storage in 1971 where it remained for over 30 years. Runs and sounds incredible. Sure to get attention wherever it goes. Has won awards twice at recent Goodguys car shows.
