Chevrolet Deluxe 327ci V8 (Corvette) 1941

General description : 1941 Chevrolet Custom Coupe The Special Deluxe trim level was introduced by Chevrolet in the 1940s and was produced until 1952.  This was an interesting era for all automakers with the quick approaching US involvement in WW2 which would ultimately put a stop to the production of cars and trucks.  Due to this, the look of the pre-war cars and those made just a short time after had some similarities but were rapidly changing.  This was also the first time period in which classic truck designs became their own thing and were no longer based on on their passenger car counterpart.  This very cool 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe is a business coupe model and has undergone a very high end custom build.  We are selling this car on behalf of the builder who completed a frame off restoration around 2004.  Prior to the build they acquired the car in 1964 and got it from family.  In fact, since new this car has been under the care and custody of 1 family which is pretty impressive when you consider that is 83 years.  That means from when it left the Flint, Michigan plant in October 1940 and was sold out of Canton, Ohio to head South its whereabouts have been known.  The body of the car is is all steel but the rear fenders are fiberglass.  It is totally rust and bondo free.  It is painted in a Toreader Red metallic 2 stage paint which has a very nice shine and finish.  Along the sides custom two tone Violet and Red graphics run the length of the body line framed in custom pinstriping.  The exterior has been clean shaven of any bumpers and a lot of the stock trim except for what is on the hood sides.  The headlights have been modified with painted rings for a frenched in look and the taillight assembly feature the old school Blue dots.  The glass is all in good condition, tinted, and the windshield is the original style two piece design.  The wheels are vintage custom Eagle Alloys with painted to match center logo.  Those are then wrapped with Radar Dimax AS-8 16inch tires that are new. We skipped over them talking about the exterior but now that we are discussing the mechanical features we can't fail to mention the custom tuned headers into the dual side exhaust.  They not only deliver a great sound but also add a toughness to the over all look.  Moving onto the hood you will find that looks can be deceiving because this one has a fully custom all steel tilt front end on an actuator so opening it is all automated.  It slides forward, then tilts up for the big reveal to show off the small block Corvette 327 motor that runs and looks great.  It has been fitted with tons of chrome, custom covers, a Shotgun scoop air cleaner, an Edelbrock high rise dual quad intake, dual 500cfm Edelbrock carburetors, a slight cam, HEI ignition and Jegs wires.  It runs great and during the rebuild received all new pistons, rods, rings, bearings and a valve job.  It is all ready to go and starts right up.  It runs cool with an aftermarket radiator and custom fabricated shroud.  The motor is combined with a Borg Warner 5 speed that shifts smoothly and sends power back to the 7.5 inch Ford limited slip rear end with 4:10 gears.  At 70mph the car is running at just under 2,000 RPM.  The front suspension is a modified set up and the car has four wheel disc brakes.    Inside, the car features all custom leather two tone Gray that is in excellent condition.  It has dual bucket seats with a custom built center console.  The console provides extra storage space, cupholders, and houses the emergency brake handle and the Hurst shifter.  Being a business coupe it doesn't have your typical back seat but that area has all been nicely upholstered for a clean look and is where you will find the rear stereo speakers to each side of a custom Bowtie insert.  The door panels have custom upholstery as well and have chrome handles with custom arm rests.  The dash has custom billet trim that was inspired by the original.  On that is mounted all Dakota Digital gauges and a custom AM/FM/CD player.  The tilt steering column is painted to match the body and topped off with a custom aftermarket steering wheel.  It also has a Sunpro Super Tach III tachometer with a shift light.  The trunk of these cars provide a ton of extra storage space and this one has all been finished out nicely.  This is the type of car that when you look it over with a close eye, the amount of hard detailed work that has been poured into it become very clear.  It runs/drives great but also has a unique combination of customizations to really make it stand out. You are definitely going to want to check it out for the asking price of $53,000.00!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing.

No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.

When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.

Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.

To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.

With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
