Vehicle Detail
Up for auction is my 1948 Dodge Club Coupe. With the exception of the engine, which is the straight six and recently tuned, all the mechanicals have either been rebuilt or replaced (brakes, brake lines, emergency brake, wheel bearings, shocks, exhaust, gas tank, fuel pump, oil pump, water pump and fuel sending unit, etc.) It is still the original 6 volt system. Paint is two years old and shines bright. A couple of small bubbles developing but nothing to take away from the overall clean appearance. All new interior to include seats and padding, headliner, sun visors, carpet, door panels and steering wheel. The dash is original and all the gauges work, including the blower motor for the heater. Every piece of chrome; bumpers, bumper guards, hood ornament, door handles, gas cap, trunk handle and side trim pieces have been either rechromed or replaced. She comes with the much desired sun visor and has working wipers. This model is equipped with Chrysler's Fluid Drive transmission. It can be either driven as a three speed on the column or you can leave it in high (3rd gear) and drive it as a automatic. Come to a traffic light and apply the brake and never have to touch the clutch. It has a push button ignition located on the left side of the dash. Turn the key on and press the ignition button and she fires right up. Both doors lock as well as the trunk handle and I have the keys to all three. Also included is a brand new after-market, period correct turn signal assembly. In addition I am including an option that attaches to the center windshield molding that acts as a type of periscope with mirrors that allows you to see the traffic lights under the sun shade without having to lean forward and look up. (Not sure if I explained that clearly enough, but makes seeing the traffic lights when stopped much easier). A dependable and fun car to drive. NADA lists the value at $14K. The passenger door glass is cracked but it's flat glass and easy to replace. The chrome around the passenger's vent window is showing some rust. The car is a real head-turner just as she sits and always attracts attention wherever I go. Drive her as she is or drop a small block and make her an awesome street rod. Bid to win this beautiful piece of history. Please feel free to ask any questions before bidding and I will do my best to get right back to you with an answer. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction's end and the balance is due within 7 days. Remember, a bid is a binding contract and I don't take this process lightly.

Car is being sold As-Is, Where-Is, without any warranty expressed or implied.
