This 1948 Chevy Coupe has been transformed into a custom showpiece that blends old-school cool with real drivability. Under the hood sits a 350 V8 that gives this postwar body serious go-power. Four-wheel disc brakes bring it to a stop with modern confidence, and the newer paint and interior mean you can drive this one to shows and actually win. The late-1940s Chevy coupes have one of the most beautiful body lines Detroit ever penned, and when you add modern running gear, you get a car that looks like a time capsule but drives like it belongs in this century. This is the kind of build that garage visitors walk straight to. WHAT WE LOVE: - 350 V8 with four-wheel disc brakes, classic looks with modern confidence - Fresh paint and interior, show-ready without excuses - 1948 body style is iconic, one of the most beautiful coupes of the era WHAT TO KNOW: - Custom build, review the full build sheet and component sources in person - Pricing reflects the quality of the build, this is not a budget rod Priced at $43,500 with estimated payments around $309/month (30% down), this custom coupe is a rolling work of art you can actually drive. Call The Boat Brokers at (928) 453-8833 to see it up close.
All title work, DMV, and ownership transfer handled
40 years of post-sale broker support
We’ve sold 20,000+ units since 1986. We know what a good deal looks like. More importantly, we know what a “good deal” looks like three months later — usually it has a wet carpet, a lien no one mentioned, and a trailer that failed inspection on the highway.
You can find it cheaper. Someone always lists something cheaper. But cheaper assumes the title’s clean, the engine checks out, the trailer’s road-legal, the paperwork makes sense across state lines, and someone answers their phone after the transaction. We don’t make those assumptions. We verify them.
Gas isn’t getting cheaper. The season doesn’t wait while you look for a better deal. We hear it every spring: someone who looked last fall, decided to keep looking, and spent another summer on the dock watching other people’s boats go by.
Get the toy now. Use it now. Two years from now you could be in the water or you could still be looking. Gotta pay to play — and Havasu people know which side of that equation they want to be on.
The right classic doesn’t appreciate in someone else’s garage. The one that’s right for you keeps moving. — One price. One handoff. Ready to go.

This is for the person who knows exactly what they want when they see it. Here's what we'd tell our own family before they spent this kind of money with us.
Every unit gets a full shop inspection before delivery — not a visual walk-around, a real mechanical check. Call (928) 453-8833 and a broker walks you through the next steps in about five minutes.
The price reflects what this is actually worth today. There's no markup built in for back-and-forth — what you see is what the market says.
Call and you reach a broker who has seen this unit in person. Not a scheduler. Real answers on condition, history, and availability — and since there's no walk-around video for this unit, a quick call is the fastest way to get one in person. (928) 453-8833
Worth knowing: Classic car values have outperformed most conventional investments over the past decade. A well-bought classic rarely loses ground.

You've Read the Full Story — Here's What That Means
Most buyers who spend real time on a listing page already know whether this is worth their time. The specs check out or they don't. The price makes sense or it doesn't. The story feels right or it doesn't.
The question that usually moves people from "maybe" to "yes" is one you can only get from a real conversation:
"Has anyone else been seriously looking at this recently?"
Call (928) 453-8833 and ask that directly. We'll tell you exactly where things stand — and if it makes sense, we'll get you set up to drive it.
Our Delivery Standard — typically 1 to 2 weeks after purchase agreement
Every unit goes through our full-service shop before it leaves our lot. We complete a full inspection of all major components and safety systems, wash the unit inside and out, and ensure your unit is verified operational and in good working condition before delivery. Title and registration work can be handled in-house, or you are free to take care of that in the state you choose. When you drive away, your adventure is ready!

Bought a pre-owned pontoon from the team at The Boat Broker. Deal agreed same day, no games on price. Their shop did a full inspection and detail before I picked it up — everything was exactly as described. Have bought three boats in my life and this was the easiest by far.

We drove from Phoenix after seeing the listing online. They went through the full inspection, handled the title and registration, and had everything squared away before we made the trip back to pick it up. The boat was in perfect shape — exactly what was in the listing, no surprises. Staff was patient and never pushed us.

Called on a Thursday, came in Friday, and agreed on a price for a Mastercraft on Saturday. Their shop spent the following week doing a complete inspection and detail before we took delivery. Honest brokers, clean paperwork, and the boat was in perfect condition when we picked it up. Highly recommend for anyone shopping in the Havasu area.

You've Done Your Research
Most buyers who get this far end up owning the unit.
Not because they were pushed into it. Because they did exactly what you're doing — and the research did the work.
If something about this Chevy still feels uncertain, that's the thing to ask — not something to sit on. The buyers who look back with no regrets are the ones who stopped overanalyzing and started asking. In the garage this weekend. The right classic doesn't wait for the right moment — it becomes it.
At this point in life, the question usually isn't whether — it's which one. And you've already narrowed it down.
Yes — as of today this unit is listed as available. Our inventory updates in real time. Call (928) 453-8833 or use the inquiry button above to place a hold before someone else does.
Yes — we work with dozens of lenders — credit unions, private lending, and big banks — right here in Lake Havasu City. With 30% down on this unit you're looking at approximately $309/month (30% dn / 180 mo OAC). Apply online in about 5 minutes or call (928) 453-8833 — we'll pre-qualify you before you make the drive.
Trailer availability varies by unit — call (928) 453-8833 and we'll confirm exactly what's included with this specific Chevy. We can also help source a compatible trailer if one isn't included — we've been matching boats to trailers in Havasu since 1986.
Absolutely. We're at Main Showroom — walk-ins welcome, or schedule a showing online. Mon–Sat 8am–5pm, Sun 9am–2pm. Nothing tells you more about a vehicle than seeing it in person — call (928) 453-8833 and we'll get you scheduled.
Plan on 1 to 2 weeks from signed purchase agreement to delivery — and that timeline is intentional. Before any unit leaves our lot, our full-service shop does a complete inspection of all major components and safety systems, details the unit inside and out, and handles the title and registration paperwork so you don't have to deal with the DMV. All of our inventory is consigned, which means we personally verify every unit is operational and in good working order before it ever goes on the lot — and again before delivery. We'd rather take the time to do it right than hand you something with a question mark. When you pull away, the work is done.
Yes — we buy outright and accept trade-ins on boats, RVs, classic cars, and trailers. As Lake Havasu's oldest brokerage we can move units fast through our established buyer network. Get a value on your unit here or call (928) 453-8833.
Yes. We arrange delivery to any state — just call (928) 453-8833 and we'll quote transport from Lake Havasu City, AZ to your door. Many of our buyers are out-of-state — we handle the paperwork, title transfer, and logistics so you don't have to.
