Projects 41 Chevy

I posted about this car a few weeks ago. It sold at an auction yesterday. Turns out this car was supposed to be built by the guy who built one of the Oscar Meyer wiener mobiles. They said they had some pics and documents for that claim. I did get to see a couple pics of it from when it was used as a show car. The owner bought it in 1967 and still had a copy of the 67 title. It is a 41 Chevy to start with. Guesses as to what the back end were that it was a MG or Jag? It still had a straight 6, unknown trans, 2 seater.

Very cool. Sectioned shortened and chopped Id say, Wow, a lot of work in that! Really looks quite good too. More pics anyone?

 

Needs a 5 carb Wayne head jimmy! If it would still fit under the hood!

 

Reminds me of how a 40 Willys coupe can look when in the wrong hands.
Except this one is cool.

 

Should have some more pics coming, they are in my friends phone and having trouble sending them to me.

 

ill post pics later I am the person that bought the car

 

Excellent buy I think. Look forward to seeing photos.

 

Cool, were you at the auction? I was talking to the guy who bought

 

GRRR, computer error. I thought the guy who bought it was getting it for someone else.

 

nope I bought it for me

 

there was another guy that was bidding against me that was buying it for someone else

 

Did you buy the Caddie intake?

 

yep you must of miss understood when you thought I bought it for someone else I bought the caddy intake for a friend

 

but the car was for me for now it will be for sale at somepoint but not yet

 

Got ya, I was the guy bidding against you on that intake.

 

ok cool

 

Wow! Truly outstanding!!!

 

Interesting!

 

Chances are it's all butt welded, file finished with lead and NO bondo. Customisers did similar down here years ago with early Holdens. True craftsmen in their own right.

 

First look it was ugly but the more you look at the details it starts to grow on you. Seriuos skills to get the cowl/hood area to flow.

 

just went to get the car running found out there is a crack in the block which is sad because the 216 has jahns 8.25 to 1 pistons an isky 3/4 race cam and some other stuff still gonna hang onto it tho and put in a 235

 

I wish I had it. Really neat!!!

 

Sorry to hear that. I don't think the previous owner had been keeping up with his cars for quite a few years. Are you going to the auction with the 39 Ford?

 

You would never guess it began life as a 41 Chevy. That's cool.

Looks more like a Jag.

 

Those 216 goodies are pretty rare! I hope you put up some pics, along with some build pics of the car.
I like it!
