Overview of 1940 Chevrolet Master 85 2 Door For Sale by Owner

The Chevrolet Master series of full-size automobiles ran between 1933 and 1942 and were available in a variety of body styles. Over time, many fell by the wayside, but some were cherished over the years, restored, enhanced, and even went on to win a few trophies, as is the case with this 1940 Chevrolet Master 85 2 Door. If you're looking for a vintage Chevy from the Thirties, this car is the ideal ticket.

Exterior and Interior

Black is a very pre-war color, and this 1940 Chevrolet Master 85 2 Door is more or less a pre-war design, so it fits the bill to a tee. The car looks absolutely stunning with its chromed hubcaps sporting the CHEVROLET lettering in red, red rims, whitewall tires, and chrome embellishments on the body. Lighting lenses appear clear and free of damage, and you'll notice the intricate detailing along the side of the body, such as the red pinstriping and MASTER 85 script. At the rear, twin chromed tailpipes allow the upgraded engine to exhale easily. Inside, we're told that the interior is a custom job, and it certainly looks stunning in red. You'll find a bench seat with some space for cargo right behind. The instrument cluster appears stock, with some auxiliary gauges added, plus a pair of fuzzy dice for that whimsical look. There's no air conditioning, as reported by the current owner, but you can roll down the windows and let plenty of wind envelop the cabin for cooling.

Engine

This 1940 Chevrolet Master 85 2 Door has a 291ci six-cylinder engine that's reportedly punched out to 302ci. It's got Offenhauser intake manifolds with dual carburetors, a ¾ race cam, and sends drive to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and a 9-inch Ford rear end. The current owner reports a heavy-duty truck clutch and Hurst shifter linkage as well. Furthermore, there's no power steering or power brakes, so you'll be really giving it your all when driving this car in a sprightly fashion. Who needs digital distractions when you're getting a good old-fashioned physical workout?

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 Convertible 2LT

For Sale
ASK: $46,298
Miles: 93,833
Estimated: $465.83/mo

The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray marked a major evolution of America's iconic sports car, introducing a more aggressive design, advanced performance technology, and a refined driving experience without abandoning its traditional V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive character. This 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 Convertible 2LT, showing approximately 93,833 miles, is finished in the iconic Torch Red exterior color over a Jet Black interior. Beneath its sculpted hood sits a naturally aspirated 6.2L LT1 V8 producing 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. What makes this example particularly appealing is its combination of the Z51 Performance Package and optional Magnetic Selective Ride Control, delivering enhanced handling capabilities while maintaining the comfort expected of a grand touring sports car. Its striking exterior is accented by staggered black aluminum wheels, red brake calipers, a Carbon Flash hood stinger stripe, and matching Carbon Flash exterior details. The well-equipped 2LT interior adds premium amenities, while desirable factory options such as the Performance Data and Video Recorder and Chevrolet MyLink navigation system further enhance the driving experience. With its power-operated convertible top, unmistakable small-block V8 soundtrack, and extensive selection of factory performance options, this C7 Stingray offers an enticing combination of open-air excitement, modern technology, and traditional Corvette performance.

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.

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
