1950 CHEVY BUSINESS COUPE FACTS- these cars are rare, especially in original paint. This is an honest car. The car has had two small features in Hot Rod (Deluxe) magazine. Original and matching ’50 Texas plates. Clear Texas title. MECHANICAL- 1,500 miles since complete engine rebuild (’74 Chevy 350). Canfield heads, Eagle crank, Ross pistons, .30 overbore, Edelbrock intake and carburetor, MSD coil/module/distributor, new ministarter, new radiator and electric fan. Turbo 350 tranny (newer) from TCI. 3.55 rear end. Lokar shifter. Disc brakes in front with newer rotors. Newer battery. Newer exhaust with cutouts. This car has a heavy loping idle. BODY- all original and original paint. Minor rust in trunk fixed. Half of each floor pan has been replaced (to a very high standard). Floor pans painted with POR-15 and then covered with Eastwood’s sound deadener. New windshield glass and door glass. There is little surface rust on the car - the discoloration (the reddish color in the pictures) is the original red oxide primer showing through. SUSPENSION- frame C’d and Z’d. The front end has been clipped and has a Camaro front end from the firewall forward. C’d in rear with trailing arms, panhard bar, etc. Has new rear shocks and a good ride. Original steel wheels, but rear wheels have new hoops changing the offset and width. Newer tires. I have a complete set of original wheels - original to the car and in original paint - that come with the car. INTERIOR- mostly newer stuff, nothing too exciting. Nicely done. Has quality seatbelts. The seat have been redone in period material. Newer carpet and door sills. Newer door panels done in black vinyl. NEEDS- what does this car need? Could use new door and trunk rubber. The car is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction early if need be. Feel free to ask any and all questions. **** Here is a brief video of this ride runnin --- http://youtu.be/oOQ8pPU1i5U On Feb-16-17 at 06:36:18 PST, seller added the following information: *** getting a lot of great questions. yes, the paint is original. the red coloring in the photos is mostly primer (original). the tires are in good shape. all lights, signals, and aftermarket gauges work as they should. wipers don't work. the original gauges and radio are in the car. the original heater box is in great shape and still in the car (the ducting was long removed). the body is in original condition as is the trim. there are bumps and dings here and there that show up well in the pictures. no accident damage. the title is clear and in my name - no issues. the car has been reliable. the tires have a ton of tread left (90% or more). the new rear shocks are KYB's. the rear suspension is a trailing arm set up with a panard bar. I have not had any problems with the suspension set up or the framework. all of the door gaps and body gaps are good. the power steering and power brakes work as they should (steering belt squeaks at times). the cutouts work fine, but they're manual. once off, the car is quicker and LOUD. the video is with the cut outs on - running through full exhaust. the mufflers are flowmasters. the battery is a newer optima. the car has new spark plugs and all of the belts and hoses are in good shape. the electric fan is thermostatically controlled.
