1940 Chevrolet Street Rod

1940 Chevrolet Street Rod

The 1940 Chevrolet is a great platform for a modern street rod. This robust 2-door sedan is a very compelling example. The Chevy received a complete restoration (1996) with a broad range of mechanical enhancements. The all-steel sedan was the beneficiary of a 2-stage respray that is in outstanding condition. All chrome is very nice and 15” aluminum alloys mount Michelin radial tires. A luxurious interior features beautiful grey cloth upholstery, air conditioning, a wood/alloy tilt-wheel and quality carpeting. The stylish dashboard incorporates a full set of Classic Instrument gauges and all electrics have been upgraded to a 12V alternator-based system w/rear battery. The rear storage area has also upholstered/carpeted. Horsepower is supplied by a new 350ci GM crate motor. The small block is equipped with a polished Edelbrock aluminum intake and 4-barrel carburetor, mild cam, headers and free-flowing exhaust. Behind the nicely dressed powerplant sits a GM 3-speed automatic transmission. Finally, the suspension has been upgraded to include power rack/pinion steering, hydraulic disc/drum brakes, coil/leaf suspension and new shocks. This handsome Chevy Sedan will soon make a new owner very proud.
