1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe

Description

This 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe has the looks of a true pre-war classic. It has the V8 power and suspension to give it some sleeper style. And an upgraded interior to make it a good all-around cruiser.

This car has a great classic look with the headlights integrated into the fat fenders, a wide grille, alligator hood, two-piece windshield, running boards, and curvy trunk-back rear. It's the kind of overall style that makes you love the 1940s machines. The factory-correct maroon color even has an aged-in look that gives this Chevy a genuine feel. This one also has the right potential to be a great sleeper kind of car if you so desire. After all, you may have the classic two-piece wheel trim, but if you look a little closer, you also have modern ties and a lowered stance. So as you look at the whole car, you can see it's a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure. There's a lot of fun today and some potential to go in different directions tomorrow.

The interior is a cool mix of classic and new. For example, the bench seat has a classic cloth style, but it has been refinished later in life. And the door panels were also done to match. There are some good comfort upgrades, like an AM/FM/CD stereo, and provisions for R-134a air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) Plus, they made this a better driver's car with a Lecarra sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and a full set of crisp VDO gauges set in a cool/bright panel.

Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8 upgrade. A small block like this has a ton of potential for performance upgrades if you were looking to have a sleeper hot rod, and the motor already inhales deeper with a Weber four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock intake. But if you look at the overall package, it's already quite a well-done setup. There are maintenance receipts going back to 2013 documenting over $23,000 invested in this Chevy. Just within the last few years there have been new front shocks, wheel bearings, a new alternator, and trans fluid change. So you have a nice running total package made to hit the road. That's why you also have upgrades like the Mustang II-style independent front end and a reinforced chassis. Add in a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front, and it's easy to enjoy this classic Chevy right now.

So when a unique and invested pre-war classic is up for grabs, you know you need to act quickly to get it home. Call today!!!
