Ever get tired of doing what everyone else is doing? How about a rod that's not only incredibly stylish but also practical? This 1940 Chevrolet 2-door delivers on all counts with a great look lots of room inside and an expertly crafted chassis that rides and handles like a modern machine. If you don't fall in love with this one based on looks alone you certainly will once you're behind the wheel. With a 4-inch chop the Chevy's original lines take on a downright sinister look. The body is factory steel so you know the guys building it were artists and craftsmen of the highest caliber because there's not a trace of their work anywhere. Only the rear fenders are fiberglass but they fit so well you wouldn't have known if I hadn't just told you. Fit and finish are exemplary with tight gaps and a paint job that's so smooth you're afraid to touch it. Other details include shaved door handles and trim custom blue-dot taillights and a rolled front and rear pans that eliminate the bumpers. Breaking up all that black is a cool airbrushed pinstripe that widens as it reaches back and forming a scallop just under the rear window as if it were simulating a piece of original trim. Modern mirrors have been neatly integrated into the design and tinted windows give it a great look while improving the functionality of the A/C. With room for five this is a rod built to cruise cross-country at a moment's notice. Beautifully upholstered bucket seats use gray leather and tweed to create a unique upscale look and the rear bench has been finished to match. Custom door panels are simple and elegant using the same materials and the original window frames which give it a very polished look. The original dash now wears a full-width billet insert which houses a full array of modern gauges and neatly integrates things like the A/C vents which are often tacked-on as an afterthought in lesser rods. A new billet steering wheel is a modern take on the classic banjo style and it has been wrapped in matching gray leather. In back there's a cavernous trunk that is finished with simple black carpet making it ready to hit the road. Reliable and powerful the brightly polished 350 under the hood delivers great performance on the open road. Thanks to a 4-barrel carburetor and all the usual tricks it moves the Chevy with ease and offers a great V8 burble from the custom-built dual exhaust system. A powerful fan keeps it cool and all the usual power accessories from power rack-and-pinion steering and disc brakes to a 3-speed automatic transmission are all part of the package. Perhaps this car's coolest trick is a Jaguar-style independent rear suspension complete with inboard disc brakes and twin coil-over shocks on each side. Beautiful polished Budnik billet wheels are properly staggered wearing 225/50/16 front and 255/50/17 rear tires for the perfect stance. If you need more than two seats and enjoy your creature comforts this 1940 Chevy is ready. Don't miss this opportunity and call today! This vehicle is located in our Atlanta showroom.
