Drug home yet another one 49 Chevy Sport Coupe

So in usual fashion I find myself draggin yet another car I dont need home.

I picked up a 1949 Chevrolet Styleline Sport Coupe. Car has alot of potential to be really cool. It needs floors, but if I keep it its going to need them reworked to deal with being lowered anyway. I may just send it down the road to one of my club members.

Here she is:



And you have to love this hood!


On a side note, this is where the car came from, so the other cars(including the escalade) are not mine.

 

...And a louvered hood? Dang, nice!

 

That's a good score in my oponion.

 

funny things going on with the grille. 50 parking lights and the part below, and 49 teeth,

were those rims chrome at one time? kinda looks like it under the rust

 

I would love to build it but I have alot of projects in front of it. would make a slick tail dragger though. We'll see what happens to it. The guy I got it from was contemplating parting it out, and I couldnt stand to see that happen. thats why she lives with me now. Either I'll build it or find it a home with someone who will.

 

and you didn't take the two on either side as well?

 

Nice save. That car is too cool to part out. Definitely has some potential.

 

Liking that Plymouth wagon too!! John

 

I would have bought the wagon if it was for sale. Way cool car. Its actually a driver.

 

There is a guy in my town who has inline six fever. He has a '41 Plymouth coupe with a slant six and Clifford performance parts with a 727 auto transmission too. It flies. Then he also has a '49 Business coupe that he changed out the rear end, tranny and installed a Sissell's built road 292. It to is a surprisingly agile and fast car. Good luck with your project. You are right. They are getting harder to find. Look at the fun you will have.

Is that the car that was sitting on 54 in Sublette?

 

Looks like a pretty straight project. I like the '49-'52 Chevys...esp the coupes.

Here Adam...this might help to confuse you as to whether or not you wanna keep it...

 

Nope. That car was a regular 2 door sedan. And really pricey.

 

Oh ok...I had only driven by it on the way home from work one day .. I had heard it was pricey...

 

$2500 and it was rough in the lower parts.

 

I dig it; lower it about an inch off that ground & drive the hell outta it...

 

fender skirts, rear bumper overrider, louvers in the hood, front fender guards behind the wheel opening.....Nice project!

 

Your slipping a little my friend. No heavy weeds, no trees in the way, no heavy infestation of pack rats, no mud 10ft. deep!!!!! Too Easy!!!

Hey, and dig the graffiti on the house next door!

Just bustin balls, nice find, looks like fun.

 

glad to see it's not being parted out.... get it back on the road
