2022 Chevrolet Retrolet

Known as 'The Retrolet,' this car was built by Scott Winfield in 2002-2003. Fabrication took one year and over 3,000 hours of labor. The custom frame was hand-fabricated using 2x4 boxed steel tubing. A Fatman independent front suspension was installed, as well as a rebuilt Jaguar rear end and independent rear suspension with coil overs. It has Wilwood disc brakes and the wheels are Boyd Coddington Stingrays (20' rear and 18' front) with BF Goodrich tires. The engine is a 502 Chevy crate motor with 502hp and 572 ft/ lbs.of torque and it is painted to match the body color. The transmission is GM TH 700-R4 (automatic). It has 3' stainless steel exhaust and the A-pillar and roof are from a 1999 Chrysler Concorde, selected to fit the overall symmetry of the car. Most of the body is heavily modified new 1955 Chevrolet body panels, including the fenders, rear quarters, doors, rockers and trunk. The front fenders were notched in 22 places and metal-filled to shape. The leading edge of the hood was left from the 1955 Chevrolet. The hood nose is a 1956 Buick, and a 1960 Chevy Impala roof makes up the rest. 1955 door skins were used with 3' cut from the top. Two sets of 1955 Chevy rocker panels were joined due to the length of the car. The glass was left unchanged.
