Pimping up roadsters with gold
and other precious
stones has become a trend these days. And Robert Espinoza is the man this
time who has completely revamped his Pura Onda, the pure-bred ‘64 Chevy Impala
SS. Pura Onda is a three-time World of Wheels champion, Super Chevy national
champion and Grand National Rocky Mountain champion. The championship car was
banned from competition by Lowrider Events in 2001, after it reached its limit
of Sweepstakes wins. Now, the redone Impala SS reminds you of gold and just
gold. Everything in the car, from the woofer magnets to the seat brackets, has
been given the gold treatment. The roof is done with right amount of gold foil
and pin striping. If you take a look under the vehicle, you will find that 90
percent of the parts are dipped in gold.
Pura Onda is an eternal piece of art and lowriding history. We have no idea
about the money gone into the revamp of this head-turner, but we do know one
thing, that it’s done with gold.
