OVERVIEW

During our 27+ years in business we have had the pleasure of owning and representing a wide range of cars including totally stock examples to heavily modified cars and trucks. Simply stated, this desirable and rare ’32 Chevrolet 5-window coupe is a very original, complete and unique example of a 30’s vintage Chevy. While Ford’s are considerably more plentiful, to find a totally stock, unmolested example of a ’32 Chevy is rare indeed.

The current owner, a serious collector with a penchant for 30’s-50’s American cars acquired this car from its long- time owner who had the car stored for years. Unfortunately, circumstances are such that the long-time collector/enthusiast needs to reduce his collection at this time.

The car is best described as a “Survivor” and, in this case, the old adage “A photo is worth a thousand words” is certainly appropriate. For close to 90 years, this car has been kept in its original configuration and represents a lovely stock example of an unusual and desirable ’32 Chevrolet 5 passenger Victoria.

Please note the following features of this ’32:

– Virtually no exterior body damage

– Incredible underside with no apparent repairs, damage or rust through/rot

– Both tire/wheel side-mounts in place including matching yellow wire wheels with mounted tires

– Chevrolet logo “hubcaps” in excellent condition on all 6 wheels (4 mounted & 2 side-mount spares)

– Stock front and rear bumpers

– Rare emblems in place and in very good condition

– Beautiful ’32 grill shell with Chevrolet logo intact

– Correct and appear to be original chrome vertical slats in the front grill, proper for the 1932 model year

– Black & gold license plates from the early 1960’s (will remain on the car for buyers in California)

– Excellent lenses including rear with “Chevrolet” embossed in taillight trim

– All glass intact

– Functional electrical system including headlights, bright lights, brake lights, & horn

– Working gauges including speedometer, Oil pressure (excellent), Amps, Fuel, and Water temperature (runs cool)

– Original interior knobs and shift knob

– Excellent rubber mats in interior

– Working emergency brake

– All original interior & headliner showing wear & tear but complete

– Original steering wheel

DRIVABILITY

The ’32 runs well and is really enjoyable to drive. It starts when warm or cold with the use of the functional choke and dash mounted throttle. The car has good power and we have driven it at 55mph+ with every indication it has the potential for higher speeds.

The car shifts properly, and the braking system is functional although the car occasionally pulls to the left upon heavy braking. The emergency brake is properly adjusted and functional. The car runs cool even in our warm California climate.

Within 100 miles, the car passed the required California safety inspection for required equipment and items relative to a 1932 Chevrolet. Finally we have included a drive video of the Chevrolet for your enjoyment.

1932 SPECIFICATIONS

The Series BA carried over much from the Series AE and the main external differences were the sloping of the windshield and the removal of the external visor above. On either side of the hood the previous louvers were replaced by opening vents, finished in distinctive chrome on Deluxe models

It remained powered by the “Stovebolt Six” 194cuin (3,180cc)six-cylinder engine, but now upgraded with a downdraft carburetor and a higher compression ratio to produce 60hp (45kW). A three-speed synchro-mesh transmission was fitted and a “Free Wheeling” mode was standard, which permitted the car to coast when the driver’s foot was lifted from the accelerator.

The electrical system was 6 Volt Negative ground, dual front (referred to as “Town and Country”) horns and a passenger side Brake and Parking lights were options that could have been added on at either the dealership or factory. Turn signal systems had not yet been implemented; the generator used a “Cut-out” relay which only used 1 wire for its generating system. Voltage regulators weren’t implemented until 1935.

PURCHASING A COLLECTOR VEHICLE - THINGS TO CONSIDER

As always, we recommend that you carefully review the seller's background for any collector car being sold over the Internet. It is important to ask yourself a number of questions including, but not limited to:

·How long have they been in business?

·How much experience do they have with collector cars?

·How many positive collector car vehicle sales have they completed (positive eBay feedback)?

·How detailed/complete is the description of the vehicle?

·Do the photos show details of the interior, exterior, top, chrome, etc. or are they simply "glamour shots" taken from a distance?

·Does the seller have a Surety Bond to protect the financial transaction?

·What about insurance, licensing by the state, and a local business license?

·Does the seller (if a business) have any DMV (Motor Vehicle) complaints and/or other history of legal action, grievances?

·Does the seller enjoy a favorable local and national/international reputation?

·Can the seller assist with funding sources, transport and out of state/country sales?

ABOUT CLASSIC CARS LTD.

·We have been the same, small, California town for over 25 years. We operate a small "brick & mortar", indoor showroom, and specialize in the sale, consignment, and purchase of sports, high performance and specialty vehicles of all types. We have a particular interest in sports cars and unique vehicles.

·The majority of our vehicles come from local, private owners and collectors, and many were sold new in California. We appreciate that rust free cars, with excellent documentation and history are especially attractive to our buyers both locally, and around the country. As a result, we do not purchase our collectible cars from "distressed" sales, such as wholesale auctions, salvage sales, or lien sales. We do not sell vehicles with salvage titles, or those that have a history of significant accident damage or repair.

·We have sold hundreds of unique, classic and collectible vehicles and regularly deal with buyers that have not had the experience of purchasing a large (both physically and monetarily) item on eBay, or through an Internet source.We strive to achieve 100% positive feedback on all vehicle sales from customers around the globe and is a reflection of our commitment to accurate, complete, and thorough vehicle descriptions.

·We have been shipping vehicles for years and have established excellent contacts that are not only high quality but very price competitive.We do not use brokers, terminal shipping or other discount methods.Call us or email for a quote directly to your home or office. We are often able to obtain quality enclosed transportation (the kind of travel this car deserves) for the cost of open shipping.

·Please review our feedback on eBay (user name Never22Many) representing over 975+ positive transactions to buyers all over the United States / World.

·We are fully insured, bonded, and licensed for collector car sales all over the United States/World.

·Classic Cars Ltd. carries a $50,000 Surety bond to cover financial transactions

·We frequently sell vehicles to out of State / out of country buyers, and will be glad to provide references for buyers in your area.

MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL INFORMATION

·As with virtually all collector/specialty vehicles, we find that parts and resources are readily available for this (and most every vehicle), thanks in large part to the Internet.

·In addition to the purchase price of the vehicle, California buyers are subject to sales tax, documentation fee, DMV transfer fees, and license and registration.Out of state buyers are responsible for the purchase price of the vehicle with any local fees, taxers, etc. being paid in their respective state.IMPORTANT NOTE: If the vehicle is delivered or driven in California, applicable California sales tax, license, registration and transfer fees will be assessed per California law.

·While we encourage telephone calls to discuss this vehicle in greater detail and ask that you call us at 925-846-1451 if we can answer any questions about the vehicle, Classic Car Ltd, or shipping costs to your location.

·We encourage inspections by interested buyers or professional inspectors. Please call at 925-846-1451 to arrange a convenient time.

·As with any collectible vehicle of this vintage we are unable to provide a warranty or guarantee of condition. However, we make every effort to accurately represent our vehicles, and highlight both positive items as well as areas that require attention. We ask that prospective buyers consider our eBay history/feedback, standing in the community, length of time in business, and other factors when purchasing a collectible vehicle from Classic Cars Ltd.

·Minor cosmetic issues/flaws may be present on every vehicle (regardless of cost) including small chips, nicks, scratches, etc. that can be seen on even the best restoration, or even a relatively new, used "pre-owned" vehicle.Also, ownership of a collectible / specialty vehicle is more enjoyable if the owner is familiar with the "realities" of these unique cars.Unlike more modern day vehicles, these cars require regular, ongoing care/maintenance and some mechanical knowledge, patience, and understanding can make the experience considerably more pleasant.That said, collector / "specialty" car owners will tell you (emphatically) that they love their cars and wouldn't trade them for anything!!
