(Please note: If you happen to be viewing this 1984 Chevrolet K10
on a website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible
that you've only seen some of our many photographs of the car due
to third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the
more than 200 photographs, as well as a short start-up and
walk-around video, and a link to its accident and damage-free
Carfax history, please go to our main website: GKM.com) My first
car at age 15 was a black '39 Chevy 2-door sedan bought for $30
from my neighbor in Des Moines, Iowa. �€" Written by the owner who
would later restore and upgrade a different '39 Chevy Master
Deluxe. Offered here is that second '39 Chevy 2-door Master Deluxe
(which also happens to have coincidentally originated in Des
Moines), fully restored and beautifully upgraded with tasteful
additions to a truly classic automobile. The black exterior paint
is original, and for 80+ year-old paint, shows beautifully with
expected patina from age, but no serious flaws. (To best assess the
quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be sure to view the
close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) The
body features a thin, tan pinstripe along both sides. Chrome
headlight bezels, grille, hood trim, window trim, and bumpers are
also free of damage with only light patina. Cabin glass and all
lighting lenses-including the blue dot taillight lenses-are clear
and free of cracks. Factory badging includes the Chevrolet
lettering and emblem in the front grille, Master Deluxe hood
emblems, and red-and-white bowtie emblem on the trunk lid. The
15-inch wheels with chrome trim rings and chrome baby moon hubcaps
are borrowed from a '66 Corvette and are mounted with Starfire®
195/60 all-season tires. The Chevy's light-tan interior has been
extensively, but respectfully, upgraded. Door trim is soft tan
fabric flat-panels with chrome door handles and window cranks.
Front bucket seats and center armrest-replacements from a more
recent model-feature the same tan-fabric upholstery, while the rear
bench seat is the original-style reupholstered to match. A small
front console includes cupholders and a fire extinguisher. The tan
headliner has been completely refreshed. Cabin carpeting is a
smoky-tan shade with matching protective carpet mats. (The trunk is
also fully carpeted and very clean.) The original, 2-spoke steering
wheel in tan-and-brown (colors which are echoed across the dash)
with full-circle chrome horn ring and colorful bowtie-crest center
emblem frames a dashboard and instrument cluster that comprise a
perfect blend of old and new. All instruments have been upgraded
with VDO® analog gauges augmented by a Sun® tachometer mounted
below the dash. Cruise control and upgraded audio controls are also
mounted (the Alpine® head unit is located in the glove box), while
the original square-knob-tuned radio remains mounted on the chrome
center-dash trim, above a Chevrolet bowtie emblem. To the right,
facing the front passenger, is the original analog clock with a
chrome Master Deluxe emblem below. (Please view the close-up
photography in the gallery to assess the impressive condition of
all the car's interior surfaces.) Under the center-hinged hood, the
350-cubic inch, Edelbrock®-4-barrel-fueled Chevrolet V8-wears
Edelbrock-branded, finned, open-sided air cleaner and valve covers.
The engine bay is spotless. A partial list of the engine work
includes an Edelbrock intake, ceramic headers, HEI® ignition, and
Lokar® carburetor linkage, with a Walker® radiator and fan shield.
Viewed from below, the chassis and components are all properly in
place and undamaged. Visual focal points include the full-length
dual-exhaust system with crossover pipe and chrome tips,
rack-and-pinion steer
