1934 Chev 5 Window Coupe
Allan's 34 Chev 5 window project has been a street rod for most of its life. As the story
unfolds, it was turned into a street rod back in the 50's and remained in that condition for
about 20 years. In the early 70's it under went the implant of a 427 big block and
the fenders were replaced to give it that American Graffiti look. Some of us older guys can
remember well that great looking yellow coupe from the original movie American Graffiti.
The running gear also consisted of an automatic transmission and stock rear-end.
Some time in the mid 70's the coupe was put into storage an remain in storage for
about 25 years. At that point the coupe was in Georgia. The coupe was then purchased and driven
for a year. The new owner decided that he should turn it into a pro-street class
and start to build it over. He moved the coupe to Kansas and after investing thousands of
dollars and hundreds of hours working of labor, he decided to sell it. The coupe now reside in Nova Scotia, Canada.
When Allan obtained the coupe it had already had major work done to the frame and running
gear, as well as some body upgrades.
- 4 Link Rear Suspension (Polished/Stainless).
- Adjustable Coil/Over Shocks (Polished/Stainless).
- Narrowed 9" rear-end housing.
- New Rear Axles (Shortened and Resplined).
- Fat Man (Stage 2) Mustang II Independent Front Suspension.
- Chassis has been completely boxed and narrowed with extra cross members added
for strength.
- Wheel wells have been tubbed and new floor pans fabricated for the trunk and cockpit area.
- New Centerline Convo Pro rims with 15X18.5X31 Mickey Thomson Sportsman Pro tires for the rear
and 15X8.5 Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires for the front.
We'll hopefully follow the progress of this 1934 Chev 5 Window Coupe project through to
