Among hot rod enthusiasts and custom car builders, the name Bobby Alloway holds as much sway as Ted Williams does among baseball fanatics. Indeed, back in 1985, this established automotive icon even won a prestigious Ridler award, the hot rod/custom car builder equivalent of winning the World Series. As you might have guessed, Mr. Alloway, who is based in Tennessee, does nothing but high-end builds, notably the "Speedstar" series which are typically early-1930s Ford or Chevy roadster-style hot rods. We are fortunate enough to be able to offer one of them here at Carroll Street Classics. Dubbed "The Seven Year Itch" this custom-built 1933 Chevrolet Speedstar roadster sports an arrow-straight body that's covered in gorgeous deep red paint and tasteful graphics courtesy of Rat's Glass of TN, Fuller Auto Body of MA and North Country Signs of MA. Custom alloy wheels by Billet Specialties fitted with meaty tires provide the perfect stance and punctuation mark for the head-turning hot rod. Under that hood there is an Inmar Marine-built LS1 V8 topped with a Lingenfelter intake that puts out north of 400 horsepower. A free-breathing dual exhaust by P&R Automotive of MA provides the perfect soundtrack while an automatic transmission by Fuller Automotive of MA ably sends the power to a Winter's quick-change rear end. Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes are up to the task of keeping all that power in check, while the fully independent suspension is a work of art, a joint venture comprised of the best components from respected brands such as Alloways, Heidt's, Borgeson, Aldan and Lindblad. The interior is every bit as impressive as the rest of the rod, crafted by noted leather smiths New England Trim of MA. The plush grey leather upholstery is tasteful and stylish without being overdone. A few of the key highlights here include a hidden transmission gear selector, full instruments and a billet steering wheel with a thick, leather-wrapped rim. All-in-all, this is an ultra-high-quality, no-expense-spared (over $100k) build that must be seen, heard and driven to be believed!
