1952 De Soto Firedome ultimate 50s Station Wagon 6 passenger / Hemi v8 az patina VERY VERY RARE DESOTO WAGON Prob 1 of the few left around on the planet. Whens the last time you ever seen one in person ? On top of it all, its has an early Hemi under the hood. Nothing says 50s like this car ! IF You have less then 10 feedbacks, we will email you to make sure its legit we email you to check your sincerity on buying the car and dont get a reply within 24 hours.. You will be cancelled and blocked too from bidding.We suggest viewing our auction on normal large monitors and or tablet to get the most out of our large easy to view pics. Id prefer NO PAYPAL to be honest. Email me first before you bid if thats your only option. We bank with BofA which is easy for most buyers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: TOTAL SURVIVOR and by that I mean, its not been modded ever and other then the 1 repaint back in the 70s, its a nice original car thats been in AZ most of its life. Would be cool If you restored the interior, got it mechanically driveable and safe, maybe some cool 20" steel wheels on it, Id drive it just like that. OR repaint it the original Green bottom / white top and saddle interior for a awesome classic to have in the garage and for shows. What I was told about the drivetrain is both motor and trans where gone thru about 25 yrs ago and put back into the car, but after that, the car never got finished. The motor and trans look the part on the outside and the source for the info is very good, just cant verify the info, so NO PROMISES on its actual condition. Personally Id just finish hooking up all the stuff under the hood and get any missing pieces and try to get it running first and see how it goes ! Mostly complete car too. Check out the pics and more info below...thanks DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers. DRIVETRAIN: the best we can tell this is the original HEMI Chrysler V8 motor, matted to a manual trans. Not sure if its a 3 or 4 spd, w or w/o OD. The tag on the firewall may tell. (see pics too). The drivetrain was set back in about 20 yrs ago and not fully hooked up or finished. Both may or may not have been gone thru. I may run a small camera down the spark plug hole to see what shape the top of the pistons and valves look like. INTERIOR: take a look, Az has done a great job drying out all the interior etc. Factory radio in dash, and lots of chrome inside actually not too bad. Rear seat folds down too. Check out the awesome factory wood inside the rear deck area. Looks original and would be beautiful restored. Gauges in the cluster look great. All the glass looks to be in good shape too and work. Rear tailgate has some rust on the lower outter area, not horrible, but its obvious. See pics.EXTERIOR: the body amazingly straight for its age, the car had a total color change repaint back in the 70s from green to the current patina white. Ive been all over the car and see no signs of old cracking bondo or rot repair. Stainless in good shape, chrome not so good. Doors all open and close fine, and glass all looks good and original. Some pitting on the outter chrome and rust. The classic Desoto grill is in nice shape. Rear rolldown window works too. Lower missing rocker trim comes with the car, just not currently on the car. SUSPENSION: the suspension looks normal and very original for its age. Its not restored, but probably be okay with a little resto on the bushings etc. No way to tell exactly what it may need without getting it on a rack or driving it. Hope for the best but maybe expect the worst. Chances are its not bad. Car rolls and steers fine, but at the time, no brakes. Check out ALL the pics below ----->it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics. There you have it, probably The BEST represented Wagons on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. Email us with ANY questions before you bid please Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they are selling, maybe its not the best car to buy long distance. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER with great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping. AZ TITLE IN HAND Keep in mind, this is not a restored car !!
