1947 Chevy Coupe, Resto-Mod

1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Resto-Mod

Up for auction is my super clean '47 Chevy resto-mod. Originally from Arkansas, North Florida car since the 70's, always garaged. I'm the third and the fifth owner (long story). I converted the car to a resto-mod over the last several years as time, work and other interests allowed.MECHANICALS: Pretty much everything mechanical on the car is new or rebuilt with less than 400 miles on it. Corvette TPI motor was completely rebuilt with quality components including mild Crane Cam, smooth shifting TH-350 trans with slightly elevated torque converter and Ford 9 inch rear end with 3.50 gears. New oversized Walker radiator with integral AC condenser, mechanical and electric cooling fans. Full Chassis Engineering suspension package with all new brakes, fabricated control arms, gas shocks and intrigated sway bars front and rear. New fuel tank, pump, lines and injectors. New wheels, tires, Optima battery, windshield etc, etc.INTERIOR: A lot of time, trouble and expense went into the interior but it resulted in a resto look that really turns heads and is very comfortable. Seats and headliner are original style "mole hair" fabric, original burl wood dash and window trim have been redone. Custom Vintage Air heat and AC blends nicely with the dash and the 200 watt Custom Autosound stereo (with MP3 jack) fits into original factory radio openings as does the Auto Meter electronic speedometer and the four gauge instrument cluster. The original steering wheel and column were retained and that along with the tall "swan" shifter give the cabin a vintage look that the camera can't capture -- it just looks right.BODY: The body, frame and floor pans are all very solid with virtually no rust and there is no sign that the car has ever been in an accident. Paint is very good, original grill has been re-chromed. Doors open and close like it's still 1947.This is not a hundred point show car or a killer street racer. It was built to be an affordable high quality driver with no bad habits that I could enjoy and still be a top car at most shows. I'm selling the car because I have way to many projects for a guy my age. I'm not starving but I would like to move the car along and my reserve is very realistic. I may be able to deliver the car (a reasonable distance at low cost) in my enclosed trailer after full payment. I've started the auction at $10K in an effort to eliminate the twelve year olds with nothing better to do. Thanks for looking and good luck.
