Vehicle Description
This 1941 Chevrolet Coupe Gasser not only gives you the tall stance
of an unmistakably speedy style, but also it has the well-built
dual-quad stroker V8 to make sure the car lives up to its winner's
circle image. And when an authentic build is wrapped around iconic
curves, well then, you know there's style and substance to go with
the speed.
You already know the iconic presence the right pre-war coupe brings
to the show. It has a touch of moonshiner legacy that seems to go
perfectly with the outlaw style a good gasser has. But while a
liquor runner liked to be incognito, this one has a ton more
showmanship. After all, the blue metallic paint is quite radiant,
and while they correctly deleted the front bumper to save weight,
it just means the chrome grille is even more of a hallmark feature.
There are even nice details, like the clean body lines, full-length
trim with red inserts, and clear tri-bar headlights. It has an
overall nice style, but all the hand-painted logos on the side
remind you that this never wants to get so fancy that it's not a
contender. After all, you have all the hallmark pieces for a
classic gasser king, like the bright slotted mag wheels, an
extra-wide rear set, and the solid front axle that lets this one
sit nice and high. It's that ideal mean machine attitude.
The interior is the right mix of speed and style. The fundamentals
are well done with an updated, comfy gray velour on the seats, and
the carpet, headliner, and door panels present very well. The dash
keeps its vintage style, and classic gasser additions include
racing lap belts and a metallic blue steering wheel on a
quick-release mount. And while it all looks cool, this also has the
proper features when you want to drive. This includes a Stewart
Warner auxiliary gauges trio, and a Hurst floor shifter, and the
large tach mounted prominently on the dash is like a head-up
display.
Gassers have a unique style that are also built with a purpose.
They try to make big power while eliminating weight up front. So
this 383 cubic-inch stroker motor was the right choice for a
powerhouse. It gives you big block displacement in a small block
weight. We love the look of the large velocity-style air grabbers
that peek out of the hood and announce the dual Holley four-barrel
carburetors underneath. Other performance upgrades include an
Edelbrock high-rise intake, Mickey Thompson finned valve covers,
steel braided lines, and headers flowing right to the side-exit
exhaust. Keeping you in firm control of the power is an AutoGear
Syracuse competition-style four-speed manual transmission, and the
rear end is even aided by ladder bars. Plus, you have the superior
stopping power of four-wheel disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and maintenance
records. This is the fun outlaw gasser coupe with an awesomely
powerful heart. Call now!
