Vehicle Description
This 1935 Chevy Two-Door Sedan is the best of both worlds, blending
old-school looks with modern performance. While so many of these
beautiful cars have been modified as hot rods, with aggressively
altered appearance, handling, and ride experience, this car has
been spared the same treatment. Neither mild nor wild, this '35
Chevy strikes a delicate balance, honoring the car's history and
rolling capably into its future.
The secret sauce in this build is a '94 Camaro organ donor. The
engine, transmission, wiring harness, and instrument cluster came
from a '94 Camaro with less than 5,000 miles. The young 3.4 liter
V6 engine nestles snugly under the hood, the alternator requiring a
creative new mounting bracket to fit. A serpentine belt system
winds around all the important components including an A/C
compressor, but the radiator fan is electric. It's a clean,
competent set up.
All structural wooden framing in the body has been replaced with
tubular steel, and the body, having had only minor surface rust
before its careful restoration, is original with no fiberglass
components. The bumpers, stainless steel grille, and steel running
boards are new. The green finish is a GM color that, upon closer
inspection, sparkles like a promise.
Modern ride characteristics are furnished by a Mustang II front
end, including power disc brakes, while the rear end features
factory leaf springs with Teflon liners and a GM ten bolt rear end.
15x8 Western cast aluminum wheels look great, also finding that
tasteful middle ground between vintage and modern.
Inside, a quality interior job beckons. The seats are from a '90's
Chevy Cavalier, and the upholstery matches the door panels and
headliner. The radio is mounted front and center of the roof, out
of the way, but easy to reach. The front power windows are operated
by moving the manual handles up or down a few degrees-so
clever!
Drive this '35 Chevy to the car show in comfort and style. Cruise
down the highway at 70 mph, windows up, A/C blowing, stereo
playing, and enjoying a conversation. No need for a trailer or
uncomfortable driving compromises, this sedan delivers. Call Art &
Speed at (901) 850-0507 and drive away in a car both you and your
honey will appreciate.
