Lovestruck at first sight for Mr. Brad Pfitzner when he laid eyes on a car model that wasn’t even completed yet. Instantly sending the downpayment, months later, he found himself in Biloxi, Mississippi, collecting his restomodded 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS as it was delivered right onto the runway where his private plane landed.
Brad, the president and CEO of a physical therapy company, reminisced about his college dream of owning a muscle car, now realized with a collection boasting a Dodge Demon, a rare Dodge Viper, Bentleys, Ferraris, Jeeps, and a Hummer H1. Yet, amidst this array, his heart belonged to the 1970 Chevy Chevelle restomod.
Commissioning cars multiple times, one of his notable builds paid tribute to Burt Reynolds’ “Smokey and the Bandit.” In 2019, he even had Trans Am Worldwide craft a motorcycle to match his Bandit, adding to the legend.
Admiring his latest acquisition, a 2024 70/SS Chevelle Convertible, he marveled at its retro appearance fused with futuristic features like a touch-button door opener. Clad in Big Brad Blue, named after him, with silver 20-inch wheels, red brake calipers, and a roaring 1,500 horsepower engine, it captured everyone’s attention.
As Brad admired his new ride, another enthusiast immediately ordered one upon seeing it, joining the fortunate 25 individuals destined to own such a masterpiece. As onlookers marveled and joked about adding it to their Christmas lists, the exclusivity of this model became evident, with only 25 ever to be produced.
