Vehicle Description
This 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe has the looks of a true pre-war
classic. It has the V8 power and suspension to give it some sleeper
style. And an upgraded interior to make it a good all-around
cruiser.
This car has a great classic look with the headlights integrated
into the fat fenders, a wide grille, alligator hood, two-piece
windshield, running boards, and curvy trunk-back rear. It's the
kind of overall style that makes you love the 1940s machines. The
factory-correct maroon color even has an aged-in look that gives
this Chevy a genuine feel. This one also has the right potential to
be a great sleeper kind of car if you so desire. After all, you may
have the classic two-piece wheel trim, but if you look a little
closer, you also have modern ties and a lowered stance. So as you
look at the whole car, you can see it's a bit of a
choose-your-own-adventure. There's a lot of fun today and some
potential to go in different directions tomorrow.
The interior is a cool mix of classic and new. For example, the
bench seat has a classic cloth style, but it has been refinished
later in life. And the door panels were also done to match. There
are some good comfort upgrades, like an AM/FM/CD stereo, and
provisions for R-134a air conditioning (it will need servicing to
blow cold again.) Plus, they made this a better driver's car with a
Lecarra sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and a full set of
crisp VDO gauges set in a cool/bright panel.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8 upgrade. A small block like
this has a ton of potential for performance upgrades if you were
looking to have a sleeper hot rod, and the motor already inhales
deeper with a Weber four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock intake.
But if you look at the overall package, it's already quite a
well-done setup. There are maintenance receipts going back to 2013
documenting over $23,000 invested in this Chevy. Just within the
last few years there have been new front shocks, wheel bearings, a
new alternator, and trans fluid change. So you have a nice running
total package made to hit the road. That's why you also have
upgrades like the Mustang II-style independent front end and a
reinforced chassis. Add in a three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front, and it's easy to
enjoy this classic Chevy right now.
So when a unique and invested pre-war classic is up for grabs, you
know you need to act quickly to get it home. Call today!!!
