Felix Ratino's

1933 Chevy Master 2 Door Sedan

Larry L. Hurd of Tennessee was the original owner of this Car and he sold it to George Clem of Kirtland, Ohio who passed it on to Terry Lanning of Mayfield Village. Terry changed the rear end from a 3:89 gear ratio to a 3:55 gear ration in anticipation of going on the 1998 Hot Rod Power Tour to California with George Collins. Soon after getting settled in out there a girl in the Condominium complex where Terry was staying got mad at her boyfriend and sped out of the parking lot, ALMOST!!!!!! She hit Terry's 33 first and then the 1951 Ford of Georges and then flipped over landing on her roof!!! Luckily no one was hurt, only because they couldn't get their hands on her!!!
Terry had the "33" shipped back to Mayfield Village and while they were unloading the wreck at his house, Felix and his boss just happened to be driving by and when Felix saw that wounded "33" he fell in love all over again. In a flash they pulled in the driveway and before the sun had settled he had a real project to work on in his own driveway. Between Felix, Ken's Auto Body and a host of Felix's friends it was soon a road worthy Cruiser again!

This All Steel Cruiser is just loaded with extras;

It has a 1986 350 4 bolt Chevy engine that has a few goodies in it like 202 angled plug heads with stainless valves honed in with a 3 angle grind loaded with Z28 springs controlled by Manley push rods and valves bumped by a Crane HMV-260-2-NC Cam which is turned by a Pete Jackson gear drive. The breathing is through a Carter 625 AFB 4 bbl carburetor and that fuel is compressed by TRW Flat Top Pistons and pushed out the rear end through 87 Corvette mufflers and an Aluminized exhaust system.
The power is transferred through a short shaft 350 Transmission to a Ford 9" rear end with 28 spline axles to 8" Aluminum Corvette Wheels with Michelin Tires for traction! It has a Mustang II front end with power disc brakes that is turned by a Cadillac tilt & telescopic steering column. Needless to say this comfort car has Power Windows and Locks not to mention a High end Pioneer Super Tuner Radio to cover the Gray cloth tweed interior with sound. All of this and more was topped off with a First Class Silver & Maroon Custom paint job.
