1951 CHEVROLET COUPE DELUXE STYLELINE with EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION
Presented here is a 1951 Chevrolet Coupe Deluxe. The exterior is finished in corvette crystal red metallic and has recently been repainted to match.
The photos are when purchased before painting and recent photos after painting. The before photos showed a slightly different tone from the front and rear or the car which has been corrected. New photos have been added to show the recent paint job. The two color tones from the top and body were left original.
The custom interior is fully insulated and is laid out in a tan and crème color with marine vinyl and cloth throughout. It has undergone a complete frame off restoration roughly 10 years ago and completed by the previous owner of 30 years. I acquired the car in 2021 and made additional upgrades listed below. Less than 9000 miles since restoration and absolutely no rust anywhere on this car. Upon obtaining the car I had all the chrome removed and any signs of rust was repaired at a professional body shop. Brakes were upgraded to a HydroBoost Brake system along with new Master and Slave cylinders.
Powered by a custom 406ci small block V8 engine with roller rockers and 5.7 inch rods. Also has Edelbrock heads and intake manifold. A competition Cam has been installed, as well as a new crankshaft. Sitting atop this performance powerhouse are the dual 500 CFM carburetors. All this is mated to a beefed up 700R4 automatic transmission with 2600 stall converter. The front suspension is comprised of a Mustang II front clip with power rack and pinion steering and tubular arms. Disc front brakes. Brake system was recently updated to hydroboost break system and all master/slave cylinders were upgraded to new components.
Features a 3.50 gear Ford 9 inch rear end with posi-traction and 31 spline axles. The brakes feature 11 inch Chevrolet rotors up front and 11 inch drums in the rear. An E-Stopp electric emergency brake has also been installed. Additional features include: Vintage Air, electric wipers, Stereo, Griffin Performance radiator, all new glass, rubber and felts. The sale includes extensive documentation, including parts & wiring diagrams.
Recently the car was retrieved from the long rest it had at the body shop. Originally put in to correct minor rust and to correct some previous body work done. It was carefully inspected in detail inside and out. Electrical, mechanical, and suspension were all inspected, modified, updated. Changes were made as needed and even if not needed in some cases. The interior was then detailed. Everything on the car was tested and is in perfect working order and is ready for inspection before purchase. More recent photos are being added as we get them.
This is a very well done, meticulously cared for automobile.
