When it comes to custom hot rods, few vehicles can rival the presence and prestige of this 1933 Chevrolet Coupe. A testament to its design and quality, this coupe is a National Award Winner that took home the 2023 MCACN Blue Ribbon Award alongside Best of Show, 1st Place, and Excellence Awards at the highly competitive Horsepower and Hot Rods event. Built by the renowned Kennedy's Hot Rod Shop over three years, this masterpiece seamlessly combines timeless design with exacting craftmanship.
The exterior is nothing short of breathtaking. Coated in a mesmerizing Candied Rootbeer paint, the all-steel body is a canvas of precision. Subtle modifications like hidden door hinges, shaved handles, and a filled roof enhance its sleek silhouette, while custom touches such as the inset bowtie grille shell and nosed, decked bumperettes shaped like ""33"" pay homage to its vintage roots. The custom louvered hood sides hint at the powerful beast lurking within, while 17-inch and 18-inch Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Nitto NT850 tires give the perfect stance.
At the heart of this rolling work of art lies a 5.7L LS1 V8 equipped with a menecing 8-stack electronic fuel injection system, generating an estimated 450 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. This modern powerhouse is paired with a 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.70 limited-slip differential, delivering a smooth yet exhilarating drive. The show-quality engine bay, adorned with custom valve covers, is visually stunning, while an aluminum radiator with an electric fan allows it to perform as well as it looks. Beneath it all, the polished dual Magnaflow exhaust provides a symphony of rich, throaty tones.
Handling and performance are elevated by a fully upgraded chassis. Featuring a Heidt's front suspension, triangulated 4-bar rear setup, and adjustable coil-over shocks, this coupe is designed for both comfort and cornering prowess. The boxed and smoothed frame, complete with tubular crossmembers, offers exceptional rigidity, while Wilwood 12-inch disc brakes and power rack-and-pinion steering deliver precise control.
Inside, the craftsmanship continues with a fully customized tan leather interior that blends luxury with modern convenience. From the air conditioning and power windows to the updated gauges and a matching upholstered trunk, every detail has been thoughtfully executed to create a cabin that's as comfortable as it is beautiful.
Take notice, this 1933 Chevrolet Coupe is next level and whether on display at the nation's top events or cruising the streets, it is destined to turn heads and ignite conversations. Call us today to make it yours!
