The end of a long journey concludes with a safe, comfortable ride home for one of hot rodding’s most cherished classics.

Since Project X—our ’57 Chevy 210 project car—first hit the pages of Popular Hot Rodding magazine back in 1965, it’s been beaten, modded, thrashed, road tripped, painted, rebuilt, broken, and reinvented many times over. It’s starred in movies, graced magazine covers, appeared on TV, and provided untold inspiration for thousands of hot rodders over a 43-year career. And now it’s time to retire.

After last year’s high-profile transformation by GM Performance Parts and the GM Performance Division, Project X embarked on a coast-to-coast trek, including the 2008 Hot Rod Power Tour. The GMPP Anniversary Edition 427-ci ZL1 big-block crate motor did its PR job, which culminated in one final curtain call at GM’s dealership council meeting in Las Vegas this November. When the lights turned out, it was time for Project X to come home one last time, and that ride couldn’t be trusted to just any one. No siree.

We called on the classic car transport experts at Intercity Lines because they know how to treat extreme high-end classics and exotics right. If you’re a discriminating buyer, and won’t trust your high-value automobile to just anyone, you should consider Intercity Lines. They are the official carrier for the Barrett-Jackson Auction, and that kind of responsibility doesn’t go to just any carrier. With our famous ’57 eventually headed for the Peterson Museum, we couldn’t take any risks, and we weren’t let down by Intercity. When it arrived at our SoCal headquarters, Project X was in perfect condition, and that’s what it’s all about.
