Selling my 1938 Chevy Coupe street rod. This is a 1938 with a 1937 Hood and Grille. It was a 1980's built street rod and I have been updating it. This car has had many updates and only needs a few things more. This is a relist. Last time I tried a regular auction and I had too many watchers to keep up with emails well so I ended it early. I decided that maybe a reserve auction isn't the best way to go. I'm going to give it a try with a buy it now and consider offers in hopes that it cuts down on some of the initial emails.

Paint is about 25 years old and showing some age and has a few rubs and dings, but still shiny for the most part. Car just needs a few small details taken care of to be finished. Seals and gaskets are all still very pliable. All glass except for passenger side windshield flat glass is good. Gasket is pliable and it would be an easy replacement. All steel body, fenders, and running boards. Nice driver quality car, that can be enjoyed as is, or with a little more work could be taken to the next level. The car runs, drives, and shifts good. It would be a great car to go out on the road. It doesn't have a back seat, so if you are a family man, this one isn't for you. The following tasks need to be done to be what I would consider finished: Seat belts need to be installed, Passenger side windshield flat glass has a crack and should be replaced. Dash has larger openings for defroster ducts. Gap should be covered with trim or garnish moulding extended downward. Fuel cell and battery hold-downs should be installed. Interior door pulls should be installed. Some door adjustment would help. The things that I consider to be bad: There is a rub on the front driver's side fender near the wheel well. There is some bubbling starting where the gas filler was shaved. There is a small quarter size area of pin-holing right at the rear bottom corner of the passernger side fender (about the size of a nickle or quarter). There are a few small dings and rubs else where. As stated the paint is 25 years old and this car was built to be driven and enjoyed. I am very critical of cars when selling them and my listings are in good faith. That's why I have excellent feedback. I will also include with the sale of this car: new pair of front performance shocks, New cast aluminum battery hold-down, a Spare Wheel/tire, any take off parts that I still have for the car. All in all, this a steel '38 chevy coupe. You don't see them too often with these upgrades. Heck, you don't see them too often period. It's a great driver quality vehicle that will certainly turn heads. It needs very little and can be driven as is while you attend to the little details. It is an easy one to take to the next level if that sort of thing interests you. If you are just looking for a cool 3-pedal hot rod, this one is for you. It's a really neat car, especially for anybody out there looking for a coupe. I can send a link via PM to serious buyers containing 4 pages worth of additional pictures.
