Any idea on what this is?

[Coonan357]

Aside from a rust bucket, any idea what make, model, and possibly the year.
All I can tell is that it is a Chevrolet. It's not possible to get better pictures either.

1940ish Chevrolet Special Deluxe based on the hood/fenders/trunk is a good starting point. 216ci under the hood with a 3 on the tree would be my guess as far as drivetrain.

I can guarantee that it is a 40's model money pit.

It's an episode of 911 LONE STAR waiting to happen.....

You're gonna need help digging it out.
What time do we meet?

With about 40-50 thousand it can be restored.

Likely twice that amount in 2024, IMHO. Then again, why build that model, it's...ugly. If You're in the market for an old car, head to the Lonestar Round Up later this month and poke around a bit, Austin sucks, but it's still one of the best pre 70's car shows on earth and worth attending at least once if traditional hot rods and customs are your thing.

Thanks all.
This one is at a house we looked at today. No idea if the seller plans to dig it out and take it with them though. The structure obviously collapsed quite some time ago.
I just took a good look at the photos and spotted what looks like bullet holes coming out of the driver's door. I wonder what the story was there.
I'm not into car restorations so it won't be a money pit for us. LOL.

Believe me! I was keeping a good lookout for anything slithery.
Inside that gin (can't see it in the picture) was plenty of coyote sign too.

There are hot rodders that have wet dreams about such a find.
