Vehicle description

206CI INLINE-6, 3SPD TRAN, RUNS/DRIVES WELL, VERY NICE CONDITION INSIDE/OUT 43,728 original documented miles
This beautiful coupe spent its life on the high desert in California, it is an outstanding example of a 35 3 window coupe. I purchased the car a few years ago in New Mexico. The car is somewhat of an internet hit, as there are some videos out there with her original black paint. The prior owner restored the car to what she is currently. The black paint in the door jams, trunk, and cowl is original. The original Vin number is stamped on the engine and the cowl tag is present along with the trim tag on the floor. The body is exceptional for an early Chevy, no rust out anywhere, all the original wood is in perfect condition. The paint was completely stripped down to the metal and primed before the low gloss black was applied, the prior owners goal was to have it look like it was just drug out of the barn unpainted. A LaBaron Bonny interior installed at a cost of over $5,000. The 1933 Delco Radio was rebuilt and works perfectly. All gauges, lights and dome light work. Gas gauge is sometimes inaccurate and the vacuum wipers were rebuilt. Running boards were sent out and original mats installed, brakes and cables rebuilt, front has been rebuilt, tires are not new but very usable, I drive it locally every week. These cars are so rare I would say there probably are more Ford 32 little deuce coupes out there than 35 Chevy 3 window Coupes! .
ENGINE
The engine, trans, and diff. were disassembled and anything that had excessive wear was replaced, the engine had the following replaced.Block and rods rebabbitedCrank ground .010 Oil pumpRebore and .030 pistonsNew valves, guides, springsHeads resurfaced and seats groundI had a custom core built for the radiator($1100) that has 40% more cooling, as it was in parades in NM with temps around 100 degrees, the stock tanks were used and you can"t tell it from the original. New water pump and NOS generator and cutout. Starter is gone through and exhaust replaced! 3 speed transmission was rebuilt and shifts great. This car is tight driving as well down to the panels. Doors open and close like they were just made. Car has the original optional GM locking gas cap, not a repop. Below the gas filler neck there is some paint crazing. Easy fix.
Car is currently in an air conditioned garage in Fort Lauderdale. Title is in my name with 43,713 original actual miles Stated! If your state does not issue titles, I apologize in advance as I will not be able to sell this vehicle to you. The vehicle must be titled by next purchaser as a condition of sale. It"s hard to find a real-deal vintage-style 1935 Chevrolet three-window coupe like this. This cool classic was often turned into a hot rod as often as the Fords, but instead, it survived the 50s and 60s without being stripped like all its brothers. In fact, this one shows the right signs of a well-respected restored classic. An all-steel, original-style 1935 Chevrolet coupe body is a true rare gem. The styling is iconic, but most of these were harvested for hot rods decades later. That"s why you"re going to get a lot of attention at the car shows. Nothing on this coupe looks out of place from the hood ornament, to the chrome bumpers, to the spare in the rear. The interior is pure 1930s-style, too. The broadcloth looks great, and it has the classic pleated look across the plush bench seat. Classic motoring means a large grippy steering wheel and a dash dominated by classic gauges. No one has tried to spoil this time machine atmosphere with aftermarket parts like air conditioning. Instead, this thoroughly correct interior means raising the front cowl to get your ventilation the way they did a few generations ago on your family tree. The butterfly hood is always a great way to get extra attention, and within the engine bay has this Chevy"s original dependable inline six. This 206 cubic-inch motor looks absolutely spectacular with the clean gray block paint, smooth firewall, AC oil bath air cleaner, and overall tidy setup. But more than just look great, the notes on the firing order and clean wires signal that this one was made to be enjoyed. So it"s a strong runner that fires up like today was 1935. You have full control over the robust motor with the floor-shifted three-speed manual transmission. It all makes for a true classic that you"ll love to run it around town. It"s rare to find a 1930s Chevy coupe so clean and true. So don"t let this original coupe get the prime spot in someone else"s garage.
