Gregg is a true Car Guy...custom built C-4 Corvette chassis.

AMAZING Show Stopper

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 under body was sprayed with semi-gloss Lixex to protect the under body 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.

Custom Designed Interior

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.

This car 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.

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. The quality is impeccable and it is truly a one of a kind.
