GarageScout Take

An intact 1940 silhouette with its original brightwork and trim surrounds a Corvette C3 rear end, independent coilover front suspension, and GM crate V8, giving this steel-bodied convertible a thoroughly re-engineered chassis beneath the period shape.

Strengths

  • Steel-bodied convertible restoration with original brightwork and trim restored and reinstalled.
  • GM crate V8 supported by listed GM Performance, Edelbrock, and long-tube header components.
  • Corvette C3 rear end, independent coilover front suspension, reinforced frame, and custom stainless exhaust.
  • Custom VDO gauge setup, billet controls, and power-operated convertible top are integrated into the cabin.

Watch For

  • The seller reports that the crate engine was stroked to 383 cubic inches, but has no paperwork to verify that claim.
  • The car has been driven since restoration and the seller notes minor visible imperfections in the finish.
