Vehicle Description
This 1939 Chevrolet Sedan streetrod is a full uniform custom build
that can bring home the trophies. That means not only the interior
and exterior are cool coordinating colors, but also the engine bay,
trunk, and other details coordinate, too. Add in the best features
around like A/C, an upgraded suspension, and a powerful V8, and you
soon realize this is the custom build that has a fresh and
thoughtful look over every inch.
Paint makes or breaks the first impression, and so this one had
over $20k invested in the two-tone alone. The PPG Silver Star and
Turborod Mica show off why you invest in the best paints and a
professional hand to apply them. It has a brilliant radiance that
makes the curves of this prewar Chevy steel look like it's still
wet to the touch. A lot of extra care was taken in getting the gaps
right, and everything has a nice freshness, including
weather-stripping. Plus, it has the right modern touches, like
tinted windows, sport mirrors, and frenched license plate. The
classic brightwork is still a standout in places such as the grille
and bumpers. But the polish of the large dual exhaust tips and
aggressive Billet Specialties Legacy wheels with 15/17-inch
front/rear stance draws more attention to the performance attitude.
It takes a multi-year restoration to get a build to this level.
It's the kind of look where even the door jams are superbly
detailed. The full project was finished in 2009, and the low
mileage and high quality presentation really makes this look like
it just left the shop yesterday.
The interior continues this car's award-worthy look. It's a full
custom and professional presentation that starts with an intricate
pair of bucket seats. These leather chairs are more modern and
comfortable than anything from the 1930s, so they are road trip
ready. The light grey color flows nicely from the seats to the
custom door panels, headliner, carpeting, center console, and even
the trunk. The dash, door tops, and steering column are done in
burgundy to really keep the two-tone style going inside. The
leather and chrome steering wheel is on a tilt steering column, the
Lokar shifter is where your right hand wants to be, and the dash is
dominated by vintage-style VDO gauges. While this is obviously a
driver's car, you have the passenger seat for a reason. So you can
keep your company in comfort with the AM/FM/CD stereo, cup holders,
modern R134a air conditioning.
The engine bay is made to be shown off, too. The inner walls are
smooth and painted the exterior silver. And the only brighter shine
comes from components, like the polished air grabber, alternator,
compressor, and other accessories. At the center is well-built
small block power. It's a later model Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8
that's bored .030 over. It has a Crane hydraulic roller cam, an
Edelbrock Performer EPS aluminum intake, and topped with a Holley
four-barrel carburetor. You'll also spot pieces like an HEI
ignition and 16-inch electric cooling fan, and so you can tell this
classic was built to also be a true driver. It fires up with a nice
aggressive sound as shorty headers add power and rumble to the
Flowmasters dual exhaust. The three-speed automatic transmission is
built for power driving with a B&M 2400 RPM stall converter.
While you're checking out all the details, save some time to look
at the undercarriage photos. There you'll see the freshness and
quality that matches the rest of the build. Also, take note of the
upgraded Heidts independent front suspension with tubular A-arms
and adjustable coilovers. If this is getting you ready to really
drive this classic, then you'll also love power steering, power
brakes, front discs, and highway-friendly gears in the rear
end.
Complete with build receipts and restoration photos, this '39 Chevy
has been given all the best in thoughtful details. So the only
thing missing is you. Call today!!!
