40 CHEVY DELUXE COUPE. THIS HAS BEEN A HOT ROD SINCE THE SIXTIES. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW TYPE BILLET HOT ROD, KEEP ON LOOKING, THIS IS NOT IT. THIS IS AN OLD ROD THATS GOT REAL PATINA. THE PAINT IS CRACKING AS ONLY AGED 40 YEAR OLD LACQUER CAN DO. THEY NOW TRY TO DUPLICATE THIS LOOK. THE CAR DRIVES VERY GOOD, AND IS VERY DEPENDABLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS CHEVY FOR AT LEAST 11 YEARS. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF RODS, AND THIS IS OLD RELIABLE. THIS CAR HAS NEVER LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE BODY IS VERY SOLID, WITH ORIGINAL FLOOR AND TRUNK PANS. THE OUTER SILLS AND LOWER PART OF FRONT FENDERS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED YEARS AGO. SOME BUBBLING AT THE LOWER DOOR CORNERS, {ALL 40 CHEVYS DO THAT AS WATER COLLECTS THERE). THIS IS NOT BONDO BUBBLING, JUST SOME RUST BUBBLES. THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS ARE SOLID. HAS VARIOUS SMALL RUST SPOTS HERE AND THERE, NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. PAINT IS CRACKING, HAS CHIPS AND SCRAPES. HAS GLASS GLASS RUNNING BOARDS, AS STEEL ONES ARE UNOBTANIUM. ALL THE LIGHTS, HORN, AND SPEEDO WORK. TRUE MILES ARE UNKNOWN. THE FRONT WAS CLIPPED IN THE 80'S, WITH A GM UNIT. (NOW IT WOULD BE MUSTANG II TYPE, BUT THIS WAS DONE BEFORE THAT), VERY NICE JOB. HAS PWR STEERING AND DISC BRAKES. POWERED BY A GREAT RUNNING STOCK 4BBL 350 CHEVY FROM THE MID 70'S. TRANS IS A 68 MUNCIE CLOSE RATIO THAT WAS TOTALLY REBUILT A FEW THOUSAND MILES AGO. NEW HURST COMP PLUS SHIFTER TOO. HAS DESIRABLE 11" CLUTCH AND "621" 11" BELLHOUSING. REAR END IS A 56' CHEVY, WITH NEWER O RING STYLE OUTER BEARINGS, WITH A CORVETTE 3:55 P CASE POSI CENTER SECTION. THE P CASE IS FROM A 61' CORVETTE, AND IS VALUABLE. TIRES AND BRAKES ARE GOOD. WHEELS ARE WHEEL VINTIQUES, WITH 50 STYLE CHEVY CAPS, AND HOT ROD STYLE TRIM RINGS. ORIGINAL VACUUM WIPERS WORK, BUT I JUST RAIN X THE GLASS AND DRIVE WITHOUT THEM. HAVE THE FRONT BUMPER BRACKETS, BUT THEY NEED EXTENTIONS DUE TO THE GM CLIP. (NEVER GOT TO IT). THE CAR IS A MIX OF ERAS, AS THIS HAS BEEN A ROD FOR A LONG TIME. ALSO HAD ALOT OF OWNERS. SOME DID GOOD THINGS, SOME NOT. THE CAR COULD USE SOME UPGRADES, OR JUST DRIVE IT LIKE IT IS. HAS NEW HAND SEWN ROLL AND PLEAT INTERIOR. NEW WINDSHIELD RUBBER AND MORE. CALL ME FOR MORE DETAILS, OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CAR, WHICH I RECOMMEND. I AM HONEST, CHECK MY FEEDBACK. CALL FOR MORE INFO, 860-558-4189, MIKE. NO TITLE ON OLD CARS IN CONN, WILL PROVIDE A CERTIFIED Q1 FORM, AND VEH REGISTATION, WHICH WILL WORK.On Oct-04-11 at 06:47:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Just wanted to add that gas guage is not working, engine has an oil leak, have not researched where, I just keep a pan under it. The under dash heater works great and will drive you out.
