Overhaulin’: The Best Cars Created By Star Designer Chip Foose

Stallion

The Stallion was another hot rod Foose designed, but instead of being only for looks this one had some speed behind it. The red paint job looks like something that came right out of a ZZ Top vehicle. The car is based on a 1934 Ford coupe that the original owner kept for decades before he decided to do something with it. His dream for the car was to have a street-legal drag racer, and Foose made that dream a reality (via Chip Foose).

The vehicle was finished in 2003 and won the Ridler Award at Detroit Autorama. There aren’t a lot of these original Hot Rods that can also double as a race car. Foose did a lot of his signature touches to this car including the cut roofline. The four-wheel independent suspension finished things off and allows the car a measurable amount of driving comfort. He’s designed a lot of great hot rods but the Stallion is one of the fastest.

32 5 Window

In case you haven’t figured it out by now, Foose loves short-wheelbase hot rods. The design this time was a dark green 5-window coupe, complete with the usual Foose touches. He left the original beltline but the fender flares have been stretched to give the car a wider look. The interior was completely redone in the usual Foose fashion with top-of-the-line leathers and appointments (via Chip Foose).

Under the hood, there are equal-length 180-degree headers and a new exhaust system. Foose is no stranger to increasing the performance of a project and this project was no different. But aside from the performance you have a beautiful design that looks like it rolled out of an automotive design book. Foose never disappoints when it comes to his designs and this one is quite special indeed.

1967 Chevy “C/28”

The 1967 Chevy “C/28” was a special truck that took one of the most popular GM body styles around and made it even better. This truck is special in the sense that Foose does not build a lot of sport trucks. This particular truck used a beautiful white paint job coupled with a clean factory-looking design. What made it pop in, even more, is the red vinyl interior that stands out from the rest of the truck. The chrome accents are few and far between but they did the truck a tremendous amount of justice (via Chip Foose).

The Foose wheels fit the truck perfectly. Most of the truck bed and the rest of the design are as close to stock as you can get. Of course that doesn’t discount the chromed-out LS motor that’s under the hood. Every inch of the 1967 Chevy “C/28” will look great for years to come. Foose has stated that the main idea behind the truck was to build a pickup truck version of a Camaro Z/28. You’ll seldom see a C/K sport truck any longer, so this one is a real treat for enthusiasts.
