Purple is girly. Right. This hot rod belongs to Tiffany Collins who actually bought this 1927 Chevrolet in a rusty condition, but her husband Dan Collins [Old Gold Garage] tricked it until perfect and custom condition.

Attention to details, makes this old school styled roadster a serious head-turner. Pearl, metallic white and purple paint job and pearly white vinyl interior with 3-piece gauge layout gives it unique looking. Hot roadster, Dan.

You’re looking at $475K worth Blastolene B-702 built by Blastolene Brothers of course [sold at Barrett-Jackson]. These are the same guys that built Jay Leno’s Blastolene Special. This custom hot rod is 200 feet long [±6m] and nearly 9 feet wide [±2.7]. It is powered by 700 cubic V12 GMC truck heart back from 60s mated to a Allison 4-speed gearbox. You can’t say it has very unique design having in mind custom Streamliner or Auburn cars, but it is seriously respectful peace of art.

A few donor parts from Corvette and Jaguar and many custom made parts got into good team. The result – about 1000 HP hot rod.
