This fifty four Chevy is that I need to take for a cruise up the coast and then on to Highway 101! It is owned by the original Sick Boy himself Mike Ness! For my readers that will not understand Mike Ness is the lead singer and guitarist of the Punk/Rock N Roll band Social Distortion! A band that has long had an outlaw, rock n roll sound. You'll describe their sound as Johnny Cash meets the Clash with a hint of the Rolling Stones and a little bit of Dillinger (yes the 1930s Bank Robber) and Mike Ness and Social Distortion’s outlaw image has perpetually gone hand in hand with Hot Rods and customs!
Mike Ness’ fifty four Chevy was designed by Cole Foster and the Salinas Boys. Mike Ness would conjointly stop by and facilitate work on the automotive himself while it had been in the Salinas Boys look.
“Ness slept at my search, for weeks at a time, we tortured him Bob Seger , created him do the worst BS, he got dirty, cut, and was one in all the blokes, bought lunch, and he has a smart eye and a way of humor. He has been a good friend for a very long time.”- Cole Foster
The fifty four Chevy top is chopped four inches, the rear glass and window is from a 1950 Plymouth coupe, and also the hubcaps are from a 1951 Desoto. The interior has custom leopard print upholstery and Ness’ fifty four Chevy is powered by a Small Block Chevy that is connected to TH350 transmission.
Mike Ness had the 54 Chevy engineered for nights when he gets those cold feelings and he simply needs to cruise or when he has the Machine Gun blues and desires to cross the state line to flee the police. (If he gets caught, its too the outskirts of town by the railroad tracks, where the country moon shines).
