Vehicle Description
1934 Chevrolet Coupe
The fundamental nature of hot rodding has always been a reworking
of old parts into something newer and faster. The easiest efforts
of the pioneers who created the automobile strongly resemble hot
rodding, because they didn't quite fit the mold. The great thing
about the evolution of hot rodding is: over the past 30 years a
vast array of excellent products have continually streamed onto the
market. And presently, anyone with a checkbook and an affinity for
going way too fast and looking way too good can build anything from
state-of-the-art avant-garde to old school cool.
For consignment, a no worries, no wrenching on old parts, modern
hot rod. With an Outlaw body, chassis, and modern conveniences such
as A/C and a Bluetooth stereo this car is meant to show, go, and
cruise. A touch of pro street along with black cherry paint on a
well sculpted and devoid of chrome fiberglass body, a binder full
of build receipts, it's all packaged up and ready for a new
owner.
Exterior
The 1934 Chevrolet coupe is already a gorgeous design, and the
builder of this car took that beauty a step further with shaved
bumpers, custom taillights, smooth aero style mirrors, and snazzy
chrome headlights hanging off of either front fender. An Outlaw
Performance fiberglass body is bathed in deep dark black cherry
paint and has almost no flaws. A twin hinged hood sits atop side
panels that have a grayish blue flame job set into scallops in said
panels. All this sits behind a black cherry horse collar style
grille shell that is filled with thin stainless ribbing. Running
boards float between the bulbous front and rear fenders and do so
with style. A shout out to the well finished truck which contains a
fuel cell that is finished in cream vinyl and surrounded by plush
tan carpeting. 15" Billet Specialties wheels adorn all 4 corners
and are wrapped in like new Hoosier rubber. Well Done!
Interior
A press of the popper button on the remote and the door swings open
inviting us into a very modern appearing cream hued interior.
Smooth vinyl in cream covers the doors and is broken up by diagonal
insets. A padded armrest holds the power window controls and an
aluminum door handle floats above. An all wood steering wheel sits
on top of an Ididit tilt steering column and fronts a Wabbits Wood
Work custom dashboard. This dash is finished as walnut and holds an
array of VDO white face gauges that monitor all vital functions
along with holding a Vintage Air heat and air conditioning
controller. An overhead console, also courtesy of Wabbits Wood
Work, floats on the ceiling and holds an AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo.
Twin cream colored leather buckets provide comfortable seating and
have adjustable headrests for different height drivers. Desert tan
carpet floods the floors and is in splendid shape thanks in part to
the color matched floor mats. The only disruption in this flawless
carpet is a Lokar shifter growing from the center, just in front of
the seats. All wrapped up and ready for comfort here!
Drivetrain
Tilting the hood to one side we are reminded of the definition of
bling. A Chevrolet 350ci V8 ZZ4 crate engine fills the space
between the hood sides and is dressed out in various forms of
polished aluminum, stainless and chrome. A mirrored firewall adds
depth to all this shine and makes it appear to go on for miles.
This mill is topped with a 4bbl intake manifold and Holley
carburetor to feed it the necessary fossils. A 700R4 4-speed
automatic sends power back to the narrowed Ford 9" rear axle. All
buttoned up and shiny like a diamond here!
Undercarriage
An Outlaw chassis provides the basis for everything down here,
steel, black and clean as a whistle. Independent front suspension
with adjustable coil overs are on the front while bringing up the
rear is a ladder bar system that also has adjustable coilovers.
Power disc brakes are on front and power drums are on the rear.
Headers sent spent gasses through glasspack style mufflers then in
and out of resonators before exiting out the rear of the car.
Drivability
A pop of the door and a twist of the key and I'm in street rod
heaven. The V8 has a great rumble but not so much as to drown out
my favorite tunes. My test drive was on a hot, humid, Pennsylvania
day so thank God our consignor included A/C into this build. Taking
a tour around the often imitated but never duplicated Classic Auto
Mall test track I was cool as a cucumber and my ears had a perfect
mixture of exhaust notes along with tunes on the radio. Power was
more than adequate, shifting smooth, and braking was exceptional
and bias free. One issue with most street rods is lack of interior
room and comfort, this car has that problem solved and then
some.
A well sorted, well thought out hot rod that will let you cruise in
style and comfort. All the creature comforts of a modern car while
retaining the look and style of days gone by. Beautifully
contrasting dark black cherry with a cream interior, Billet
Specialties wheels, and a lack of chrome make this a cherry prime
for the picking....and with no need to worry about the pits.
