1951 Chevrolet Coupe
Description
The business coupe or also known as the sport coupe is a rare model in Canada. I brought this car back from the U.S. The photos are as close to snow as it has ever been. The paint is approximately 9 years old so it’s not flawless but it is in very good to excellent condition. Shines up and looks beautiful. It’s a very nice colour and I have matched the interior to the paint. The interior has been professionally done and is about 4 years old. Basically new condition.
Although the car sits uses the original brake, steering and suspension system, there is a booster in the brakes giving it a power assist. The suspension struts are about 8 years old and overall it rides very nice. The steering is manual but the steering box has been replaced about two years ago.
The car is powered with a 305 Jasper crate engine paired with a Jasper crate 350 turbo transmission. This car is not a racer or a hot rod by any means but it boasts more than adequate power. It has a very nice rumble to it. A blast to drive in the city and equally fun on the highway. Acceleration on on ramps and and highway merging is a breeze. Drives straight and true.
All glass is in good condition. Doors open and close nicely. Trunk lock requires a little wiggling. Radio does not work and although the clock was working it does not seem to be anymore. The original heater does not work but there is an aftermarket heater installed.
This car is ready to drive and it’s awesome! I would give this car a 7.5 out of 10. A new paint job would make it an 8 and power steering and front disc brakes would make it a 10. If I was going to keep it I’d keep the paint because it’s still very nice and put a new front clip. But my priorities are shifting so I’m willing to part with it...but. It without hesitation.
I can arrange shipping on this car anywhere in Canada. I’m not interested in trades but if you’re serious and have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thanks for looking.
