132173 / 1940 Chevy Deluxe Coupe

RK Motors is proud to present this killer 1940 Chevrolet deluxe coupe that has been given the full Pro-Street treatment. From the 502 cubic inch big block under the hood to the massive tires out back, this is an incredibly well built and sorted rod that can cruise the show field and hammer the track with equal skill.

The original body's lines were left largely unaltered, which gives this car a vintage elegance. The body is all original steel except for the running boards and rear fenders, which were supplied by Chicago Fiberglass. The dark red metallic base has a lot of candy and metallic in it, and was applied over well-prepped steel. Ghost flames with subtle blue, orange, and red licks cover the nose of the car. It has been coated in several layers of clear for a miles-deep finish that's completely seamless from end to end, in the very best hot rod tradition.

Horsepower is compliments of a 502 cubic inch big block GM Performance Parts. Holley supplied the 750 CFM 4-barrel carburetor living under the billet air cleaner, which matches the trick billet valve covers. And since this car was built to cruise, you'll also notice smart upgrades like A/C, power steering, and a big alternator to power everything. Up front, there's a custom 4-core radiator from Brassworks that's cooled by a custom SPAL electric fan with thermostat and an Edelbrock aluminum water pump.

The power seat is a split bench, which tilts forward to access to the back seat. Done in red and white leather, it looks very appropriate, and the work was beautifully done. The original dash has been smoothed and filled, then stuffed with a complete set of modern Stewart Warner gauges. Controls for the Vintage Air A/C and entertainment system are in the center console, while vents have been installed under the dash.

This is one that will still draw appreciative crowds anywhere you park it, but more importantly, will make you smile whenever you're behind the wheel. Call now!

Can you tell me what paint colour this car is in?

[rkmotorscharlotte]

@yolandagarethellis:

Not really sure what the exact colour would be... It's a custom paint mix. It's a deep, purple-red metallic.
