Overview of 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Business Coupe Hot Rod Supercharged For Sale by Owner

The 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Business Coupe comes from an era when American automobiles were defined by sweeping fenders, prominent chrome grilles, and unmistakable Art Deco styling. Originally built as a practical prewar coupe, this particular example has been transformed into an aggressive street rod that pairs its vintage Chevrolet identity with serious V8 performance and modernized driving dynamics. Finished in eye-catching Pearl Metallic Blue over a custom Tan leather interior, this hot rod features its original steel body, a supercharged 350ci V8 topped with dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors, and a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission. Showing approximately 1,122 miles on the odometer, the build also incorporates Mustang II independent front suspension, a 4-link rear suspension, adjustable coil-over shocks, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. Its low-slung stance, polished wheels, side-exit exhaust, and custom bodywork give this prewar Chevrolet an entirely different personality from the car that left the factory in 1939. Combining traditional hot rod craftsmanship with modern performance upgrades, this Master 85 delivers a distinctive blend of vintage American styling and supercharged muscle.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Business Coupe is finished in Pearl Metallic Blue, a striking custom color that emphasizes its sculpted prewar bodywork and flowing proportions. The original steel body preserves the unmistakable silhouette of Chevrolet's late-1930s coupes, while a series of custom modifications introduces a decidedly modern street rod character. Up front, a prominent chrome grille is flanked by traditional round headlights in chrome housings, while custom front fender vents and modified hood side openings lend a more aggressive appearance. The absence of traditional running boards creates a cleaner profile, allowing the sweeping fenders and sculpted body panels to take center stage. Polished aftermarket alloy wheels wrapped in low-profile performance tires fill the wheel arches, complementing the car's lowered stance and contemporary suspension setup. A side-exit exhaust further reinforces its performance-oriented personality. The custom paintwork provides a brilliant contrast against the polished metal accents, making this 1939 Chevrolet a particularly striking interpretation of a traditional American hot rod. The interior of this 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Business Coupe features a custom Tan leather upholstery scheme that brings modern comfort and refinement to its vintage two-door cabin. The reupholstered interior centers around a pair of aftermarket 6-way adjustable leather bucket seats, replacing the traditional bench-seat arrangement with a more individualized cockpit. A custom steering wheel mounted on a tilt steering column provides additional adjustability, while the Muncie 4-speed manual transmission keeps the driving experience firmly rooted in traditional hot rod culture. Modern entertainment comes courtesy of a Kenwood Bluetooth stereo, blending contemporary connectivity with the vehicle's classic character. The warm Tan leather contrasts handsomely with the vibrant Pearl Metallic Blue exterior, creating a combination that balances luxurious presentation with unmistakable street rod personality. According to the current owner, no seatbelts are installed in the vehicle, an important consideration for prospective buyers. Altogether, the cabin reflects the personalized approach behind the build, combining vintage Chevrolet surroundings with modern seating, upgraded convenience, and hands-on manual driving engagement.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Business Coupe sits a supercharged 350ci Chevrolet V8, bringing an entirely different level of performance potential to a car originally engineered for modest prewar motoring. The 5.7L small-block is equipped with a polished Roots-style supercharger topped by dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors, creating an imposing induction setup that immediately establishes this Chevrolet's hot rod credentials. Beyond its visual appeal, the supercharger forces additional air into the engine, providing the foundation for increased power and torque compared with a naturally aspirated configuration. The engine is paired with a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission, giving the driver direct control over power delivery to the rear wheels through a 12-bolt rear axle. Supporting the upgraded powertrain is a Mustang II independent front suspension, complemented by a 4-link rear suspension and adjustable coil-over shocks for improved chassis control. Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes provide upgraded stopping capability, while power steering adds convenience to the driving experience. An aftermarket side-exit exhaust completes the performance-focused setup and gives the supercharged V8 an appropriately assertive presence. With its polished forced-induction system, traditional 4-speed manual gearbox, and extensively upgraded chassis, this 1939 Chevrolet combines the visual drama of a classic street rod with the mechanical ingredients of a serious V8-powered performance build.

1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

For Sale
ASK: $13,299
Miles: 219,621
Estimated: $124.22/mo

The 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 marked a major turning point for Chevrolet's legendary pony car, introducing the aluminum-block LS1 V8 and bringing a new level of performance to the fourth-generation F-body platform. Finished in Arctic White over Dark Gray, this particular Z28 stands out with an extensive engine and drivetrain rebuild performed by LSxperts at approximately 198,000 miles. According to the current owner, the entire drivetrain was rebuilt, including engine reboring, returning the mechanical components to a refreshed condition approximately 21,000 miles ago. While the chassis shows approximately 219,621 miles, the rebuilt powertrain has accumulated only around 21,600 miles since the work was completed. Performance enhancements include a Brian Tooley Racing Stage 1 camshaft kit, upgraded cooling components, a true dual glass-packed exhaust system, and dyno tuning to complement its modified LS1 powerplant. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, and factory 16-inch chrome aluminum wheels, it delivers the ingredients that made the LS-powered Camaro a favorite among American performance enthusiasts. Additional highlights include a customized audio system, ambient interior lighting, and available vehicle build documentation. For enthusiasts who appreciate naturally aspirated V8 performance, the involvement of a manual gearbox, and the extensive tuning potential of the LS platform, this Z28 offers an exciting combination of classic F-body character and a substantially refreshed drivetrain.
