Overview of 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Street Gasser For Sale by Owner

A drag strip is a place filled with high performance, speed, and good times. Building one's cars to be the fastest at a ¼ mile has grown from a pastime to a competitive sport where every millisecond matters. If you do visit a drag strip frequently, one type of car you sure won't miss out on is the old street gassers. Built to rocket down the straights, a street gasser is a performance machine disguised as a car from the 30s. With a big place in the drag race scene owning a gasser means you get the best of both worlds, 30s design and one mean hot rod that scares modern cars when let loose. Want to get in on the fun? This 1938 Chevrolet Couoe Street Gasser we have today is one neat build and ready to provide smiles as you thrash down a ¼ mile.

Exterior and Interior

The 30s design on this 1938 Chevrolet Coupe Street Gasser is brought to life with a unique Chrysler "Prowler" paint exterior. The owner reports that the car has seen a total restoration and features new glass too. The rear fenders have been widened by 3 inches for tire clearance and in place are Rocker Launcher Runner wheels which are wrapped with Mikey Thompson tires. While it's a drag strip weapon, the tan interior on this 1938 Chevrolet Coupe Street Gasser provides some comforts. It’s reported to be new and features a mix of 30s interior features and modern upgrades, including a new tilt steering wheel, meter cluster, and aftermarket stereo.

Engine

A flashy exterior is not the only factor that makes a Street Gasser special; what lies under the hood is perhaps its most important feature. Powering this 1938 Chevrolet Coupe Street Gasser is a 383ci stroker engine built on a 350 block with a 0.30 SCAT rotating assembly. The engine also sees modifications, including an Erson cam, 140-amp alternator, IDIDIT steering column, and a straight axle. Further, the engine is safeguarded by the addition of a friction modifier. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a Borg-Warner T-10 transmission which is reported to be rebuilt and sport a New McLeod clutch as well. Handling is better with a Fully boxed frame with QA1 Coilover shocks, and stopping power is increased through 4-piston calipers and 11-inch rotors.

1934 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Hot Rod

Current Ask
SOLD

Now here’s a hot rod that’s true to the term to a tee. This 1934 Chevrolet Coupe Hot Rod may have started life off as a Chevrolet Standard when it was new, but it’s now been customized to such an extent, that scant little of its previous life exists. Chevys and Fords from the 1920s and 1930s are extremely popular as hot rod platforms because of their appearance, construction and ease of turning into something truly artistic. This particular car is now up for grabs in Port St. Lucie, Florida and packs a massive 502ci Chevy Big Block under the hood…well, what of the hood is left, because the engine is now partially exposed for all and sundry to see. The car rocks an autobox, rear-wheel drive and has just 20,000 miles on it.

Current Ask
$15,500

The 1986 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the defining early years of the C4 generation, when Chevrolet pushed the Corvette further into the modern performance era with digital instrumentation, aerodynamic styling, and Tuned Port Injection V8 power. Showing 99,665 miles, this example is finished in Black over a Red leather interior, a classic combination that suits the C4’s sharp, low-slung profile especially well. Its 5.7L L98 V8 is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while features such as the removable targa roof panel, digital gauge cluster, Delco-Bose audio system, and power-adjustable sport seats give it the period-correct mix of technology and grand-touring comfort that made the C4 such a major step forward for the Corvette.

Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital RTX instrumentation, upgraded suspension components, modernized braking hardware, and aftermarket wheels move the driving experience well beyond a stock early Corvette while preserving the low-slung roadster proportions enthusiasts immediately recognize.

Current Ask
$42,500

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is the kind of classic that proves you do not need stripes, spoilers, or a big-block badge to have genuine muscle-era appeal. Showing approximately 53,285 miles, it pairs a 307ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic, giving it the easygoing, torque-rich feel of a traditional small-block Chevy cruiser. The custom orange finish gives the car plenty of presence, while Rally-style wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes make the package feel especially usable. It is a clean, straightforward Nova built around the formula enthusiasts still appreciate today: V8 power, rear-wheel drive, simple mechanicals, and unmistakable early-1970s Chevrolet styling.
