This 1939 Chevrolet two-door sedan is a non-running project that was built into a street rod many years ago. Following the current owner’s acquisition in 2018, the car was disassembled and further modified with a shaved and smoothed exterior, independent suspension assemblies, and a supercharged 427ci V8 linked to a Hughes Performance 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission and a quick-change rear end. The partial bodywork is finished in gray primer, and the interior has been stripped. Hooker headers, a serpentine-belt accessory drive, a steering rack, an E-Stopp emergency brake, staggered-width wheels, a Mustang II-style front end, and a Jaguar-style independent rear end with inboard discs are among the items currently installed. A collection of parts including seats, chassis components, wiring harnesses, glass, and hardware will accompany the car. This street rod project is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with a Florida title.
The steel body was stripped under current ownership, and the doors were shaved, the rear bumper mounts were filled, the fender seams were smoothed, and the rear wheel wells were tubbed. Gray primer has been applied to most of the exterior, and the doors have been temporarily secured.
Staggered-width wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The steel frame has been boxed, and car has a Mustang II-style front end and a Jaguar-style independent rear end with inboard discs, though there are no rear coilovers are currently installed. A power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering rack has been fitted along with an E-Stopp emergency brake kit.
