Just a few decades after Chevrolet's founding in 1911, they introduced the Chevrolet Series AE Independence or simply the Chevrolet Independence in 1931. This model was only sold for that year and was the successor to the outgoing AD Universal Series. With many classic cars of the era, there came a time when you are at a crossroads on whether to restore the car or make it a hotrod. This 1931 Chevrolet Independence took the second option, by being turned into a hotrod by Haar Hotrods in 1975. Currently, the car features more modern upgrades to it. This 1931 Chevrolet Independence comes with just 5,400 miles on the new blueprint V8.
The 1931 Chevrolet Independence features a new two-tone exterior in the form of a magnificent brown and black palette. To all appearances, this car is a regular classic car. The front fascia features a massive fine mesh grille finished in chrome with the headlights resting on a chrome curved tie-bar. Right below it can be seen the 2-piece front chrome bumper. The hood is topped by a quail hood ornament also in chrome. Typical classic running boards painted in black are visible on the sides. A careful inspection will reveal a nod to Bonnie and Clyde on either side of the front doors in the form of white decals. The rear is host to a black-painted luggage carrier with chrome trimmings. As with the front bumper, the rear is also a two-piece bumper finished in chrome. The seller reports that the front features updated LED taillights, as well as the front. It sits on a set of chrome-painted American Racing 5-spoke wheels with new tires. The interior has also been redone. Which includes reupholstered seats, a tilt and telescopic steering column, new safety glass all around, a new headliner, and new radio and speakers. The interior is trimmed in brown to match the exterior.
Originally this 1931 Chevrolet Independence would’ve sported a 196 cu 3.2L 6-cylinder engine. This has been swapped with a new blueprint 350 cu V8 engine coupled with an automatic transmission. Keeping the temperatures optimal is a new Griffin aluminum radiator. The heater core has been rebuilt and convered to 12V to keep occupants warm. Other upgrades include a new limited-slip differential, battery, alternator, water pump, starter, and new ceramic-coated Ram horn manifolds. There's also a custom-built exhaust, and new power brakes have been added with new brakes and brake lines too.

1931 saw Chevrolet debut the Chevrolet Series AE Independence, to replace the 1930 Series AD Universal. Available as a two-door roadster, two-door coupe, four-door sedan and four-door tourer, this model was also produced in the United Kingdom under license by Bedford Vehicles, as the Bedford W-Series, and enjoyed an eight-year production run there. In fact, the 1931 Chevrolet AE Independence was produced in no less than nine assembly plants across the United States, as well as the aforementioned Bedford plant in the UK plus in Canada, Japan, South Africa, Argentina and Belgium, a testament to the popularity and versatility of the model. If this kind of vehicle is your pick, we’ve got a nice 1931 Chevrolet AE Independence up for grabs here from Nevada with a healthy 96,107 miles behind it. The owner reports that it runs and drives nice, which is a bonus. Cars like this can be considered investments too, as their value and desirability will only go up in time.
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
Ford has the Mustang, and Chevrolet had the Camaro. Back in the ’60s, it was a winning duo for consumers, with the two frontrunners in the pony car race battling on both backroads and race tracks. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a fine specimen just waiting to go to a new home. It features a striking blue exterior, a well-kept black interior, and a 383ci stroker V8 under the hood. This immaculate classic has reportedly been subject to a recent motor and transmission install, which means it should offer a trouble-free ownership experience to whoever is lucky enough to take possession next.
Now in its second generation, the 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle was known as one of the most popular mid-sized cars in Chevrolet’s lineup. It featured a long hood and a short deck, and an almost fast-back-like design for the coupes. Then there was the SS. Few names in the muscle car world carry the same weight as the Chevrolet Chevelle SS. This example, finished in menacing black with bold white racing stripes, is a fully restored and upgraded tribute to American performance. With only 900 miles reported since completion, this true SS has been fitted with a host of new components, including a monstrous 402ci V8 engine, a fresh 6-speed manual transmission, and an upgraded suspension setup that makes it every bit as capable as it is aggressive.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
Imperial is a brand that many people today won’t remember, or know about at all. So let us give you a quick history lesson. In 1926, Chrysler Corporation started using the Imperial tag to denote the top-tier trim level of their finest automobiles. This remained the status quo until 1955, when Imperial was spun off as a separate brand under the Chrysler Corporation. It represented the brand’s luxury offerings, and gave us cars like this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic. This car is a second-generation example with 51,000 miles on the clock and it currently resides in Naples, Florida. Why not buy it as a tasteful classic car as well as a smart future investment?
