My wife came across this car on craigslist in Kansas we live in Colorado she had been hunting for a coupe for us to build for her and found this 47 Chevy Coupe... The car was going to end up in the crusher as it had been on craigslist for over a month .. We drove to Garden City and bought the car for $150!!! Going to build it in 50s/ '60's style we think possably powered with a 56 olds 324 i just acquired ONLY RUST IN THE FLOOR IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOUT 6" WIDE AND 15" LONG AND ONE HOLE ABOUT 6X6
Looks like a good start, decent floors saves some work. I remember one growing up that ran a set of reverse chrome rims and a custom 47 Olds grille.
It's nice to see dents instead of rust. I bet the fuel to go get it was more than the purchase price...nice score.
Coolest thing about this build is that 1 yes it is my wifes car , but the deal was she is going to build it .. She's going to learn how to chop it n all! It will be HER car
Nice one, looks like a great start. Let us know how many beers it takes while watching your wife do the roof chop
A little cut wax, buff it out and it will look good as new... ....just kidding, very nice find for $150! Keep us posted as your wife builds her car.
Looks a little naked, but good & solid! I'm interested to see what you do with it. I love those coupes.
Awesome. I almost saved a 62 Falcon in about that shape, but didn't have a way to haul it or a place to put it at the time.
