Justin Arias posts here on the H.A.M.B. and Instagram, he is activly working to bring back the Company. He drives an El Camino with an Arias Hemi Chev and has recently found and bought back his Grandfather Nick's 38 Chev Coupe with the G.M.C. six that he is working on restoring.
That I do not know, He is Nick Arias' Grandson and Steve Gibbs is his maternal Grandfather, Steve's daughter Cindy is his Mother so he was born into the Hot Rod/ Racing community. From what I see he is determined to carry on the family name in the high performance industry.
Like to see Arias make a come back, The El Camino Arias Hemi heads on a Ls Not the Aluminum Arias block, Was the Arias block called Century? If I remember correctly when the Screw Whipple blower was being developed it was being tested on Arias Hemi Chevy , Do I remember correctly , Drag News or National Dragster 86 ish
I really like the Python Scoop they had, was planning on getting one for my OT, went to order it and realized all is not well in Arias land. As to the old Chevy hemi heads, having grown up in Iowa around truck pulling, they were the ultimate setup for some. There were at least 3 variants of heads; bolt on conversions for factory Mark IV, another for their Century block, and later another for the LS.
Announced at the Grand National Roadster Show, Offenhauser has bought the Arias lineup! Should be available around May June of 2026? Exciting!!
