I operate a limousine business in Wilmington, Delaware and acquired this car with the intent of using it in my business for weddings, proms, etc. For whatever reason, the vehicle has not generated much income so I would like to sell it since I am not a collector of classic cars. I purchased the vehicle from Streetside Classics of Georgia over the internet for $21,000 in March of 2013. Upon delivery it became apparent the vehicle had engine problems unspecified by the seller. I removed engine from car and took it to Schwalm's Babbitted Bearings in Strasburg, Pa.- a very well known shop that specializes in restoring model A engines in a 5 state area. After a roughly $2500 repair bill, the car runs great now and Schwalm's did a great job at a fair price. In the last 2 years I additionally have had about $2500 worth of paint work done - to freshen up the front right fender and two vertical panels under left and right doors extending to running boards. Two weeks ago I replaced the clutch and pressure plate on this vehicle. I have changed the engine oil and lubed all 28 lubrication points on the car in the past month/ cleaned out fuel strainer/ installed new battery cutoff. Interior is a gray cloth and is very clean. I also replaced and painted the front wood floor. All tires have good tread. The chrome radiator cover appears to be original evident by the dents and wear on it, especially in the area of the radiator cap. A brand new chrome cover would be my next upgrade...........a few hundred dollars. After spending in excess of $26,000 to purchase and keep this vehicle in good running order and appearance the past 2 years, please make a fair offer. This is not a fixer upper, but a car that is in very nice shape- and ready for a new owner to enjoy and take it to the next level.
