For Sale: 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe in Kentwood, Michigan

Vehicle Description

• This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 •

This 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe blends classic postwar styling with a carefully curated mix of performance upgrades and period-correct ingenuity. Finished in glossy black with a striking two-tone red top, the car sits with an understated yet confident presence, accented by black wheels with chrome hubcaps. Inside, the fully custom red and white leather interior delivers a bold, vintage-inspired cabin that complements the exterior's timeless look.

Under the hood, this Chevy carries a 261 block from 1962, bored .020 over to 265 cubic inches. The build features 848 high-compression heads sourced from a late-'50s 235, a Delta Cams Bulldog-spec camshaft, solid lifters, EGGE cast aluminum pistons, and fresh internals, including a new oil pump, water pump, and fuel pump. An upgraded PerTronix electronic ignition with a Flame-Thrower high-performance coil ensures reliable spark, while the engine retains an authentic inline-six character with enhanced performance.

The drivetrain has been thoroughly modernized for drivability. A World Class T5 5-speed manual from a 1986 Camaro provides crisp shifting via a Hurst shifter, connected through a 1956 Chevy six-cylinder bellhousing and 1954 Chevy linkage. A TCI crossmember with custom T5 transmission mount supports the setup, while power is sent through a custom driveshaft to a 1957 Chevrolet Positraction rear end with 3.55 gears. This combination provides both highway comfort and lively acceleration, making the Coupe far more versatile than its original specification.

Blending period styling cues with thoughtful mechanical upgrades, this Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe offers a rare opportunity to own a classic that's as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire. With its unique two-tone finish, hand-built interior, and upgraded inline-six powertrain, it stands out as a car built for both show and go.
