Vehicle Description
This 1938 Chevrolet Business Coupe is the kind of full custom build
that will attract attention for its show-worthy shine. But that big
air grabber on top also let's everyone know it's a true streetrod.
So that shining powerhouse underneath is really a fire-breathing
dual-quad big block with a blower that makes this a quarter-mile
king, too.
It takes a lot of planning and prep to achieve something like this.
The blue paint really does have a fanatic look with its deep
luster, and the high gloss radiates in sunshine to show off those
softly rounded curves. Before the first drop of the paint went
down, the body was prepped meticulously, resulting in a
well-aligned appearance that includes tight panel gaps and doors
that open and shut smoothly. The rounded silhouette and
torpedo-like headlights already made this Chevy look sleek right
from day one. But this custom turns it up a notch with details like
the expertly deleted bumpers, shaved trim, and custom integrated
taillights. The same classic style mixed with upgraded attitude is
seen in the brightwork. You still get the vintage grille up front,
but what people are really likely to point out is that big air
scoop sticking out of the hood and just how deep those rear wheels
go into the body.
With so much custom work on the exterior, it's no surprise there
was plenty invested in the interior, too. It's a cool two-tone
layout where you get a blue that coordinates with the exterior, and
now it's paired with a tasteful gray. It's so detailed, you'll even
appreciate the little things, like the shift boot and steering
wheel wrap. There are comfortable upgrades like a pair of high-back
bucket seats with modern bolstering, a custom center console, and
AM/FM/CD stereo with speakers. But the lightning bolts on the doors
remind you that this is a true power coupe. The Colorado Customs
steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and that gives you a
clear view to a full professional gauge package with AutoMeter
Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite readouts.
Under the hood is a true beast. And because everyone will want a
look at this motor, they made sure it's always ready to show off.
So grab your sunglasses, because we doubt you'll find another area
that can be polished. You'll appreciate the details, like the
mirrored firewall, upgraded pulleys, and steel braided lines with
AN fittings. But what you'll really love is all the substance
behind the style. It starts with a 468 cubic-inch big block V8, and
this is fed by dual four-barrel carburetors from the performance
master Barry Grant. And in-between the two is a Weiand 871 blower
to supercharge your horsepower into the stratosphere. There's even
a nice set of Hooker headers to add power to package as well as add
rumble to the Borla dual exhaust. This is serious power, and so
it's good you have stout components like the TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission, a 9-inch rear, and big Mickey Thompson
Sportsman tires. There's also an upgraded Mustang II-style front
end, ladder bar rear, power brakes, front discs, and power
steering.
Complete with restoration photos, this awesome vintage Chevy
represents a big power package that knows how to bring performance
to the pavement. It also happens to be a sleek classic wrapped in
an award-worthy shine. So if you want power and presence in one
streetrod, don't miss this coupe. Call now!
