1936 Chevrolet 4-Door Convertible - Bare Metal Hot Rod - 3,056 Miles - Small Block V8, Automatic, Right Hand Drive - Skull Artwork Custom Build
Price Guide: $65,000 - $95,000
A comprehensively built 1936 Chevrolet four-door convertible hot rod on a modern drivetrain, presented in bare polished steel with extensive custom airbrushed skull artwork and a full red leather interior.
Description
The 1936 Chevrolet is one of the great American hot rod canvases. The lines are low and purposeful, the four-door convertible body is genuinely rare, and the period proportions respond well to performance-oriented modifications. This example has been built as a dedicated street rod rather than a restoration, retaining the 1936 Chevrolet body and applying a comprehensive modern drivetrain and suspension package that makes it genuinely usable. Right-hand drive configuration makes it Australian road-legal and practical to run daily.
Photos across 41 images document the build thoroughly. The body is finished in polished and brushed bare steel rather than paint, a deliberate aesthetic choice consistent with the hot rod tradition, with extensive airbrushed skull and custom artwork applied to the panels, fenders, and rear body section. A black soft convertible top is fitted and sits cleanly. The running boards are wood. The front end retains the period vertical bar Chevrolet grille with custom crosshair-style headlights. Modern matte black five-spoke billet-style alloy wheels are fitted with Kumho performance tyres. The engine bay shows a small block V8, likely a Chevrolet 350, finished in red with Edelbrock chrome valve covers, an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburettor, a large open-element air cleaner, and wrapped exhaust headers. The bay is clean, well-detailed, and presents as a professionally built engine installation. Beneath the car, yellow powder-coated coilover shock absorbers, a Panhard bar, red disc brake calipers on all four corners, and a dual exhaust system confirm a comprehensive chassis and suspension upgrade well beyond original 1936 specification. Inside, red leather bucket seats with Takata racing harnesses are fitted, along with a custom bare metal dashboard housing period-style gauges and a modern touchscreen head unit. A floor-mounted shifter with novelty skull knob and red toggle switches complete the hot rod theme. The odometer reads 3,056 miles, consistent with a recently completed build.
Custom four-door convertible hot rods of this calibre, particularly on fully sorted modern running gear with disc brakes and coilover suspension, represent genuine value for the street rod enthusiast. The rare four-door convertible body style, the right-hand drive configuration, and the comprehensive mechanical upgrades position this as a car that can be driven and enjoyed from the day of purchase.
