Vortec-Powered 1951 Chevrolet Custom Tin Woodie Wagon for sale on BaT Auctions - ending June 16 (Lot #196,269) | Bring a Trailer In my opinion this is a bit strange looking. Not much left of the original 1951.
That is pretty cool. The front end reminds me of that '54 Plymouth Savoy Sniper build. The ad says the engine is a 5.3 Vortec which would mean LS engine to me, but that looks more like a later model first gen 5.7 to me.
That plastic box connected to its induction is Vortex, at least. The rest is Smallblock Chevrolet with second generation valve covers. LS mills will neither have Ram's Horn exhaust manifolds nor siamesed exhaust ports Yeah, it sorta reminds me of a flounder with a lump on its head. It wouldn't have looked that bad, if the "customizer" would have lopped-off the hood's bulge somewhat
