Tahitian Suburban for sale

Sue from Hotrod Tiki (UK) send us the message she's selling the Tahitian...
this is one cool partshauler if you ask me....

It is a 1962 Chevrolet Suburban called The Tahitian, with the full nine seats, full sliding windows, with a clam shell rear tailgate, this is the rare model. It is an Arizona car, which I bought in May 2005, it has had a full bare metal custom paint job, it is painted in VW cream pearl, with House of Kolor gold roof with Gold Flake, then House of Kolor tangerine lace panels over the dash and roof. The interior is a VW beige metallic, everything has been removed, blasted and then painted, before being refitted. The interior is all painted and finished, the front seat is trimmed in retro hawaiian barkcloth, stitched in a waterfall design, with clear plastic over the barkcloth, with cream vinyl and gold metal flake piping, the roof lining is lahala matting with matching floor mats. The whole car has been pinstriped and named by Neil Melliard from Prosign, UK. It has a brand new small block Chevy motor painted in mild gold metalflake, with a fully detailed engine bay, it also has a new water pump, alternator, starter motor, fuel pump, 600 Holley carb, Edelbrock manifold and Hooker headers, etc, etc. It has a new rebuilt 10 bolt axle, also it is a 3 speed manual, 3 on a tree! It has the original torsion bar suspension, it has all new ball joints, etc; all new brakes, everything has been done and it is taxed and tested. It also has power steering. It has a brand new set of Coker red band tyres, and painted metal flake wheels! There is so much done to this vehicle, I can't remember it all, but there is nothing left to do on the vehicle, apart from drive it!! Everything is new and replaced. I am asking £13,950-00 for it.

contact Sue if you're interested

Pinstripes...

While on holiday to the US, Koen trusted me with his van and bass, to lay down some lines...



While we're on the subject of me...

Yesterday @ VonSkips garage....

I went over to Rockcity to put some final paint on Limpe's chopper...
Geert (aka VonSkip) was so kind to offer us a cool spot to work...
Great night meeting some nice folks and creative minds...

2 dutch paparazzzzzi followed my every move for a while and this is the result of only one of them...just love these shots Maurice made.
Can wait to see what Limpe did to me...

icing on the cake was of course the new ride Geert got hold of...he's the guy responsible for bringing Steve Caballero's 5 window to Holland...What a damn sexy car that is...
the overall look of this rod is simply amazing, smooth, clean, wild, agressive...
