1940 Chevrolet Standard Deluxe Coupe Street Rod — All Steel | 350 V8 | 700R4 Automatic

This all-steel 1940 Chevrolet Standard Deluxe Coupe street rod is powered by a 350 cu. in. Chevrolet V8 producing 300 horsepower, paired with a rebuilt 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and a ’57/’64 Chevrolet rear differential. Originally purchased and built by Joe Troilo in 1974, the current configuration was completed in 2011. The car has logged approximately 14,700 miles attending cruise-ins and local car shows.
