Vehicle Description
1934 Chevrolet 3 Window 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, original 33 frame, some custom
suspension and new Weld wheels this car is meant to show, go, and
cruise. The perfect hot rod look along with fire engine red paint
on a well sculpted and lightly chrome trimmed fiberglass body, 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 teardrop taillights, small billet style mirrors,
and snazzy chrome headlights hanging off of either front fender. An
Outlaw Performance fiberglass body is bathed in a miles deep
application of fire engine red paint and has almost no flaws. A
twin hinged hood sits atop side panels that have been louvered for
not only engine cooling but for looking cool. All this sits behind
a bright red 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 is power actuated and is finished in
creamy tan leather and surrounded by plush tan carpeting. 15" Weld
Draglite wheels adorn all 4 corners and are wrapped in like new fat
and skinny rubber. Well Done!
Interior
A press of the Dakota Digital popper button on the remote and the
door swings open inviting us into a very modern appearing creamy
tan hued interior. Smooth leather in tan covers the doors and is
broken up by vertical tuck and roll inserts down low and a red
embroidered bowtie. A stylish padded armrest has been installed,
chrome toggles for the power windows, also by Dakota Digital, are
down low and an aluminum door handle floats above. A wood rimmed
steering wheel sits on top of a polished Flaming River tilt
steering column with an AutoMeter tachometer strapped atop fronts a
body matching red dash. This dash holds an array of AutoMeter white
face gauges that monitor all vital functions within a polished
aluminum bezel and down low in an aluminum block are a trio of
rocker switches along with the billet headlight knob. A creamy tan
colored leather bench from Glide Engineering provides comfortable
seating and is finished in more tan leather with tuck and roll
inserts and another red embroidered bowtie. Desert tan carpet
floods the floors and is in splendid shape thanks in part to the
color matched floor mat. The only disruption in this flawless
carpet is a long armed chrome 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 327ci V8 engine fills the space between the hood
sides and is dressed out in various forms of polished aluminum,
stainless and chrome. A smoothed firewall with miles deep paint
adds to all this shine and makes it appear to go on for miles. This
mill is topped with a 4bbl intake manifold and carburetor to feed
it the necessary fossils. A TH350 3-speed automatic sends power
back to the Ford 9" rear axle fitted with 3.89 gears. All buttoned
up and shiny like a diamond here!
Undercarriage
A red painted factory 33 frame provides the basis for everything
down here, and is finished in red along with the suspension,
underside of the running boards and rear axle. All else is strong,
black and clean as a whistle. A Pete & Jakes 32 front end with
transverse leaf springs is on the front while bringing up the rear
is a Posies leaf spring arrangement. Power disc brakes are on front
and power drums are on the rear. A dual exhaust system with heat
wrapped piping sent spent gasses through Flowmaster mufflers before
exiting in front of each rear wheel with bell style chrome
tips.
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 that my partner in crime has taken to singing
when no radio is present. My test drive was on a hot and humid
Pennsylvania day but even without AC I still looked and felt cool
behind the wheel. Taking a tour around the often imitated but never
duplicated Classic Auto Mall test track my ears had a perfect
mixture of exhaust notes and the 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. Many of the creature comforts of a modern car
while retaining the look and style of days gone by. Beautifully
contrasting bright red exterior with a creamy tan interior, Weld
wheels, and a lack of chrome make this red rod ripe for the
picking.
