1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe

Description

The best restomods are the ones that are so stealth, you almost don't notice the upgrades from the outside. In fact, can you tell that this 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe has an award-worthy V8, four-speed auto transmission, and air conditioning? Yes, it's that cool.

This Chevy occupies that interesting space that lies in between a cruising classic coupe and all-out hot rod. It looks like the perfect pre-WWII gem, with its tall fenders and all that great chrome intact on places like the big grille, bumpers, fender accents, and sweeping lines that run the entire length of the body. But, then you get a little closer. You start to realize that the burgundy has a great metallic element that's usually reserved for custom street rods. Someone invested plenty of time and money massaging and straightening this body to make sure that paint looked its best. Then you start to notice the more modern and wider rubber on the polished wheels, and you might even spot the dual exhaust tips. Your senses kick in, and you realize that you are approaching what could be a sly street machine.

Once you open the door, you realize your instincts were quite right. The custom leather interior is vastly more comfortable than anything that came out of the '40s. The two-tone bucket seats have a color scheme that flows onto the rear seats, door, and custom center console to create a full uniform package that will get people talking. But more than just look great, this one was built to be comfortable with modern features like cup holders, AM/FM stereo, a full set of auxiliary gauges, and ice-cold R134a air conditioning. This is the kind of classic that's is easy to cruise in and always looks great on arrival, and you understand that spirit from the moment you grab the upgraded banjo-style steering wheel.

Everything you've seen so far has hinted at something special underneath the hood, and this powerplant does not disappoint. It's a 350 cubic-inch V8 that has had so much invested in shiny components that we dare you to find one more piece that could be polished. So it's the kind of show-stopping presentation that we bet could win awards all on its own. And when you look beyond the shine, you'll see the substance of an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, ProComp intake, and headers that add power as they feed the rumbling dual exhaust. But there's much more to this custom Chevy. Take a look at the undercarriage. There you'll notice the upgraded independent front suspension, front disc brakes, and power steering. Combine this with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive, and you've got a great custom machine to take you near or far. There's even an aluminum radiator with electric fan so your V8 can stay cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.

It's a true custom build that fits everything you could want. After all, this Chevy is a powerful and unique hot rod that can also move family and friends around in air conditioned comfort. What more could you ask for? Don't let this complete package slip away, call today!!!
