This very cool old cruiser has some interesting local history.....
Sold and delivered new in Dunedin by Cooke Howilsons in 63 this original right hand drive survivor would have probably earned its keep as an everyday family car, or stock agents office before spending some of the late eighties sitting in the Christchurch based "Jack Rabbit Slims" which was a popular "Pulp Fiction" themed restaurant, where you could actually go in sit down and have a meal sitting in this old Chevy, which I'm sure a lot of people did! and it even comes with an original menu that was found inside one of the doors!
The old Chevy was rescued from the restaurant a few years ago and re-commissioned by its automotive engineer owner, to be put back on the road, completely re-vinned and re-registered, to be used for cruising the black top again, where it belonged!
When rebuilt, the Chevy was fitted with a period style 283 V8 with some nice dress up gear, coupled to an ever trusty Power Glide auto transmission, and she also has power assisted brakes.
A clean solid old body, with nice presentable paintwork and trim certainly looks the part dropped down nice and low on a very cool set of early eight inch Tridens, polished up to perfection, and generally clean presentable chrome trim and bright work round out the impressive looking exterior package,
The interior is clean and functional with the original bench seats still fitted, covered in a 70s style cloth trim, and the original door trims, and a brand new hood lining tidy up the interior, while the factory original push button radio still takes pride of place in the RHD dash!
New screen rubbers have been fitted, and a lot of mechanical fettling and general over all maintenance has been carried out on this Chevy to gain the stringent re-registration process acceptance.
An impressively smooth old driver with a great feel on the road this big family friendly Chevy still has plenty of smiles per gallon to give its new owners, and will no doubt provide many great future memories!
These old NZ new 63s are not plentiful on our roads anymore, they have virtually all gone now having been driven into the ground, or are big dollar fully restored show pieces that are almost too precious to use, this example isn't a restored show winner that will fill your trophy cabinet for you, but it is a clean and presentable turnkey cruiser, with a great look, at an affordable price...
