1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe 2-Door Fastback
This car has just been repainted in its original color with high quality DuPont Urethane, hence the re-listing at a higher price to incorporate some of this investment. All new exterior photos just taken.
Same owner the last 34 years in Austin TX; originally a Nashville car.
Small block Chevy 350 V8 engine with less than 3,000 miles on it since conversion.
Just had more work done on it by the mechanics at Mercury Charlie's in Austin so it runs even better than before.
Clean Texas title; 5-year current classic registration through March 2028; vanity Texas plates that say "ROCKIN".
Features:
Automatic transmission; regular column shifter.
Mustang front clip; Corvette rear end.
Nice, clean, tuck and roll custom cloth interior.
Has air conditioning but not very effective above 80 degrees.
Recent new tires, battery, gas tank, water pump, fan, starter. Good brakes. Lights all work.
Custom wheels. The side pipes and spotlights are just decorative.
Clean trunk with an "original era" spare tire and hubcap (cool but no longer fit).
Still have some of the original parts that were removed for changes made (radio, one rear wheel skirt).
Issues:
Some chrome re-plating would be worthwhile, in particular the rear bumper.
The suspension needs attention (springs, shocks). The ride can be somewhat bouncy on uneven pavement and the front end shakes a bit when going over 55mph.
You might want to add power steering.
Other:
Serious inquiries only please. No lowballs, no trades.
May be viewed and driven in Buda TX, by appointment, with 2-3 days advance notice.
