It's easy to fit in with the street rod scene while being unique all at the same time... All it takes is this 1939 Chevrolet Coupe. After all, it has the classic big fender looks and rumbling V8 we all love, but there are always far fewer bow tie customs that show up to the party... and rarely are they as nicely finished as this one. This one has the deep purple appearance that looks like last moment... of sunlight on a summer night. Oh yeah, people are going to love seeing this one arrive at the car shows. And the deep metallic finish does a great job of rolling over the terrific sheetmetal on this curvy pre-war design. They really wanted this color to consume the whole car, and so they expertly deleted the bumpers, smoothed the front end, frenched the headlights & taillights, and shaved trim like the door handles. This investment in paintwork also means the kind of gloss that makes a great complement to the custom brightwork elements like the grille, portholes below the hood, and modern Budnik alloys staggered at 17/18 inches front/rear for an extra hint of aggression. So you can see this is a carefully crafted total package. Pop the remote door openers, and you can see more evidence of a well-planned build. The exterior purple returns on the dash, as well as accents the door panels and seats. It's now joined by a two-tone gray nicely coordinated on the bucket seats, panels, headliner, and steering wheel. Even the trunk follows this full theme for a very uniform quality that always impresses onlookers. This might be a classic Chevrolet, but you'll never go wanting for modern features thanks to power windows, an AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod input, and ice-cold air conditioning. You slip behind a custom steering wheel mounted on a chrome tilt column, and the beyond that, there's a full digital readout package. The hood tilts forward to give everyone a clear view of the exceptionally tidy engine bay. With the smooth painted firewall, hidden wires, and all those polished elements, you're likely to win awards on the motor alone. But more than just look terrific, this is a powerful 350 cubic-inch crate motor. The V8 has been enhanced further with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, HEI ignition, large electric fan, and a set of shorty headers that feed the sweet-sounding dual exhaust. This kind of power was made to hit the streets. That's why you also have upgrades like the tubular A-arm front suspension, stout Ford 9-inch rear, and four-wheel disc brakes. Plus, with power steering, modern performance tires, cruise control, and four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive, this is a great package you can easily cruise near and far. This is the coupe that was built to be memorable anywhere and show off everywhere. So don't miss out on a total package like this, call today!
