Vehicle Description
Very Nice
1940 Chevrolet
Special Deluxe Coupe
Street Rod
"New for 1940� was the Special Deluxe. More sumptuously appointed
than any previous Chevrolet, it was distinguished by stainless
steel hood and beltline trim along with such amenities as dual
wipers, dual air horns, a 30-hour dashboard clock, and a deluxe
steering wheel with horn ring. Perhaps surprisingly, the newcomer
proved to be, by a wide margin, Chevy's best-seller."
There are over 120 pictures of this car in the ad below, including

For sale by owner is this beautiful 1940 Chevy street rod.�
Professionally body off restored to be a show car and completed in
the mid 80's (with some mechanical & cosmetic improvements over the
years) this car was featured in a 1986 issue of Super Hot Rods &
Customs magazine. The current owner purchased the car from the
gentleman that did the restoration and the information provided is
somewhat limited. What follows is what we do know. The car was
resurrected after being stored for many years after it was used for
drag racing. The body is all steel with new old stock fenders used
during the build. The body was painted Wheatland yellow with 4
color custom flames and hand painted pin striping. The engine is
now a 327 with a 4 bbl Holley Carburetor and a mild cam. Power
flows through a Turbo Hydromatic 400 3-speed automatic and a
limited slip rear end. The front end is from a '54 Chevy and it has
front disc brakes.
