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.
