1936 Chevrolet Town Sedan Gasser

Up for auction is a 1936 Chevrolet Standard Town Sedan. I purchased this car in November of 2013 with the intention of building a street-driven gasser to race occasionally. The 1936 Chevrolet saw some factory upgrades that made it a good candidate for this. With hydraulic brakes and straight axle from the factory it was an easy decision. And in 1936 Chevrolet standard models had a stronger frame design than previous years, o it's a good strong platform. Now onto the details.

This car drives well, ooks good, nd runs great. It's only made a few passes, ut clicked off a best of 11.98 @ 109 and has a bit more in it. Should be a consistent high 11 second car with enough testing and tuning. Gets a lot of attention at car shows and at the track, nd is really fun to tear around town in. Not a highway cruiser with steep gears, licks, nd open headers, ut a lot of fun on backroads and at the track. There's probably more information I left out, o feel free to ask any questions.
