when talking to the owner, tell them you want to RESTORE the car.

  Telling them you want to hot rod it , will get you out the door rather than in it .

I hear you. I seen a modern single master hanging off the firewall, a 60's  power glide stick in the floor and it has juice brakes (don't know if chev had them in 33). Somewhere someone had plans.

Hi and welcome to the Bowtie.  Good luck, I hope you get the car.  My 33 had mechanical brakes when I got it.

My roadster body sat in the corner of a fenced lot for several years I drove by it almost every day. It was for sale but for several times what it was worth. I wanted it but could not afford it. Then one day it was gone and I was sad. A few years later I got it from the new owner for $200 and some old Ford parts I didn't have any connection to. It's been sitting for a long time but I'm chipping away at a lot of little stuff Maybe I'll get it done yet.

See if there is something he might trade for, something he needs. A new roof, a well pump, tractor work, firewood, yard work, fence repair,……….

Some pictures from today. I so badly want to adopt this project.
The deck lid has been tag welded shut with a skim of bondo over it hiding the handle latch hole at the TOP of the deck lid.
I have the owners number now.. will start calling right away.

a few more ( and yes, the jeep is 1942 production)

[chopper526]

That is not a project for the faint of heart! But, I hope you can work something out. The owner seems a little eccentric, I mean with that Jeep and all

[LeadFreddie]

The jeep and trucks are property of the land owner. The car is owned by a fellow who was a mechanic apprentice and worked for the land owner 15 years ago. Thats how long the car has been there.

[madmike3434]

the coupe , a 3 window , appears be either a 1934 or a 1935 Chevrolet ***standard series***.  From what I can see in the picture the frame is a 34

If the frame has a K member underneath its a 34, if it has a X member underneath its a 1935 standard. It did not come with a rumble seat in 34-35 std series.

In the picture of the hood side panels, the correct 1934-35 ...3 long louver side panels are below the green truck ones.

Thanks Mike.
  I didnt see any mechanicals for the rumble seat but can see where the hole is on top rather than towards bottom. I guess it may have been a replacement over time.  I noticed the clutch and brake pedals are still hanging so thats a bonus.
Are those factory brakes or later year?

Trunk lid may simply be mounted upside down with handle hole at the top.  If the inside trunk has rain water gutter metal parts too : tops bottom sides, its a regular trunk.  A rumble seat has no bottom metal gutter to catch the water also that the lid can pivot.  The bottom 1/3 of the side gutters are not there in rumble seats.

With the late model power booster mounted to the firewall,  somebodys been playing with the car. Stock pedals are mounted to the frame, not hanging.

Those brakes may be a stock rear end as they were mechanical operated with shafts and levers.

Interesting Mike, thanks again.
It has been played with for certain so theres no going back to stock for this one. That's why I want to build it as a 50s/ early 60's hotrod.  Get rid of the modern ( 70's) parts and turn back the time for a traditional hot rod build. I know Chev wasnt as popular as ford because of the wood but I so love the lines of these cars, I just gotta do it.
The pedals are on the frame ( I meant to say that first time out) and the picture of the backing place is of the front passenger wheel.

[vette59jdwl]

I love that JEEP it should have a 327 or 5.3 liter chevy

[LeadFreddie]

Finally found the owner. He has a 35 gmc truck build on the go and then it's this one.
sadly moving on...

[sixball]

Don't give up on Chevys, They are out there.
