1932 Chevrolet 5 Window Coupe

Description

The moment you lay eyes on this 1932 Chevrolet 5-window coupe, you know this hot rod was a detailed labor of love. It takes extra time and patience to create a fully coordinated two-tone including areas like the dual-quad V8, custom frame, and even the six-speed transmission in the retro interior. The result is an award-worthy build that's quite assured to be one-of-a-kind in any crowd.

No expense was spared and no compromises were taken to create the coolest pre-war street rod Chevy around. The Quaker State Green is a bold choice, yet it doesn't betray the 1930s attitude. The same goes for the Vanilla Shake frame and accents. Everywhere you look on this custom build these two colors are merging in harmony. Even under the car is a sea of green and white. Building a vehicle to look like this means spending some serious money and taking the time to plan the painting of every detail. And when you imagine all the extra hours, you know why this kind of thoughtfulness rarely leaves its creator. Getting this coupe impossibly low to the ground means channeling the body over the frame and running the rear suspension into the trunk for a very cool reveal you can save for the car show judges. The whole body has been lowered, so even the grille has a more aggressive stance within the frame. The body has been streamlined so it looks like it is an old-school attempt at cheating the wind. The finishing touch is a cool set of Rallye America chrome wheels with the old-school Firestone Gum Dipped racing tires that were the choice at the Indy 500 back in the day.

The interior has been just as carefully crafted to be comfortable without betraying the minimalist attitude. It starts with the custom green and white seating that looks like the old-style bench, but the lowered body means splitting the bottom cushion for a more individual space. The metal flake embossed steering wheel gives a hint at the flash that this custom creation brings to the road. Plus, the pinstriping up the center and the 6-ball shifter are just great old-school fun. But you take one look at the large full gauge package, including the center-mounted tach, and you know this is a serious driving machine.

We know you've been staring at that motor this whole time, and so will everyone else. It's a Chevy 327 cubic-inch V8 that's been bored .030 over, given forged internals, and a balanced rotating assembly. But the upgrades don't end there. The go-fast goodies include a Herbert hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, ported powerpak heads with 1.94/1.60 stainless valves, roller rockers with poly locks, an MSD pro billet distributor, Offenhauser aluminum intake, and dual Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors. There's more to this build, so call for all the details. It even stays cool thanks to the PRC aluminum radiator with a Spal electric fan. This enhanced power package has a fantastic presentation where you see nothing but chrome and coordinating green. So you might not be able to unleash the full force of this motor, because of the huge crowd it instantly attracts. Then again, everyone will back away the moment you fire up the motor, and people hear the thunderous sound. Those straight pipes are actually part of a Gear Drive headers kit with cutouts that feed the wrapped dual exhaust with rear exit. Once you do clear a path, you'll really get to enjoy this one on the road. The T-56 six-speed transmission (yes, six-speed!) is fortified with a billet aluminum flywheel and Dynotech Engineering custom-made balanced driveshaft for great control and durability. This feeds the 9-inch rear end with Moser 31 spline axles and a Currie limited-slip rear end with a 4.56 ratio. That makes for powerful confident take-offs. The suspension has front split wishbones and disc brakes. In the rear, they fit a triangulated four-link and QA1 coilovers into the custom frame.

So yes, this is an award-worthy package. That's why this custom build already has taken home plenty of trophies and even features in magazines such as Speedway Motors and Rod & Custom. It is a complete custom that comes with a photo book so everyone can re-live the creative journey with you. So skip the time and effort it would take to build your dream coupe, and just go right to the front of the car show. But remember this is one-of-a-kind, so when it's gone, there will never be another. Call today!!!
