Vehicle Description
This 1931 Chevrolet 5 Window Coupe features all those attributes we
prize most in a well-configured streetrod. Its steel bodied
exterior carries loads of vintage visual magic, amplified by a
great looking set of aftermarket wheels. A comfortable,
well-appointed interior waits inside its doors and a potent
drivetrain operating in top form stands by to propel this classic
forward with authority.
With its thoroughly authentic overall configuration - complete with
a nicely detailed rumble seat area that raises into place in its
sloping rear end - this Chevy really represents its era well. An
all steel body helps make it well suited to the demands of frequent
driving - its construction is much more impervious to both time and
gravity than its fiberglass counterparts while also immune to the
stress cracks that can often detract from its appearance. True to
form, the exterior shows a strong alignment here, with nice, even
gaps surrounding all the body panels and a pair of doors that open
and close with no issues. From the signature front grille and
headlight casings on back to the rear bumper, the assembly of
chrome on board seems very solid - you won't find any pitting or
blemishes anywhere and just a thorough polishing session will take
things to a noticeably higher level.
Take your position behind the wheel and you'll be surrounded by a
tan interior with an awful lot to offer. There are some nice
details on display here, starting with a pair of modern-era buckets
covered in a combination of tweed and cloth that blend nicely with
their surroundings while providing all the comfort needed for even
the longest of excursions. Farther forward, a great looking
aftermarket steering wheel on its tilting chrome column stands just
in front of a well detailed dash area that sports a collection of
white-faced VDO gauges on its tweed-lined instrument panel, with a
JVC stereo recessed into the center, teaming with speakers in the
custom center console to fill the interior with sound. A pair of
vents have been seamlessly incorporated at both sides of the cabin
and, with the aftermarket climate control system performing at its
best, you and your passengers will ride in comfort.
Coupling with this Coupe's vintage streetrod persona is a
drivetrain that's wielding abundant power to provide an
exhilarating experience behind the wheel. Beneath the vented,
folding hood is one very clean engine compartment, at the center of
which is a 350 cubic inch V8, dressed to the nines with a full
complement of polished components on board. It's been armed with a
pair of aftermarket aluminum heads and a 4-barrel carb and is
really running strong - step into the accelerator and prepare to be
pushed back in your seat with some serious force. Custom exhaust
cut outs have been added, so the sound this vintage Chevy sends out
of its dual tailpipes has to be experienced to be appreciated. The
powerplant teams with a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic 700r4
transmission with an overdrive gear to equip this attention magnet
with effortless cruising ability at highway speeds. Courtesy of the
added Mustang II front end, power rack and pinion steering makes
handling precise and easy, front power disc brakes join the pair in
back for low-effort, fade resistant stops while coilovers make for
a smooth ride. This well configured Chevy rides on a set of 15"
Cragar wheels wearing Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires.
The visual impact of this 1931 Chevrolet 5 Window Coupe is
undeniable, and its eager drivetrain and comfortable, well-detailed
interior put it in select company. Call today!
