UP FOR SALE IS MY 1930 DODGE DC8 - 3 WINDOW COUPE. THIS ANTIQUE CAR WAS FOUND SLEEPING IN A GARAGE FOR 20+ YEARS. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT WAS NOT RUNNING. I BROUGHT IT HOME, CLEANED IT UP AND GOT IT RUNNING. IT AMAZES ME THE WAY IT PURRS LIKE A KITTEN AFTER SITTING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. I HAVE MADE A VIDEO OF THE FIRST RUN AND HAVE ATTACHED IT. WHILE I OWNED THE CAR, I HAVE DONE LOTS OF RESEARCH. WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT WAS A DC8 (8 CYLINDERS) I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, ARE YOU SURE? I KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF 6 CYLINDERS BUT TO FIND A DC8... WOW.....ON TOP OF THAT I WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE REGISTRY TRACKER OF THE 1930 DODGES AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE ONLY 12 KNOWN 1930 DODGE DC8 3W COUPES TO CURRENTLY EXIST. THERE ARE 3 IN CANADA AND THE REST IN THE USA. HOT DIGGITY!THERE WERE ONLY 2999 PRODUCED BACK IN THE DAY. THE CONDITION OF THE CAR AS BEST AS I CAN DESCRIBE IS MOSTLY ORIGINAL. THE RUMBLE SEAT IS IN NICE CONDITION. IT HAS 4 NEW TIRES. IT HAS THE FRONT CRANK FOR THE MOTOR AND ELECTRIC START. THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS 60,000 MILES. WOULD NEED A RESTORATION TO BRING IT TO A SHOW CAR, BUT IT'S A PRETTY DECENT DRIVER. ALL IN ALL ITS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. MY WIFE AND I WERE JUST GOING TO LAY DOWN A BLANKET ON THE SEAT AND CRUISE IT AROUND LOCALLY. WISHING WE HAD A LARGE GARAGE TO STORE IT, BUT I NEED THE ROOM AND WE DON'T WANT TO PARK IT OUTSIDE SO WE DECIDED TO PUT IT UP FOR SALE. THEREFORE PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND I WILL ANSWER IT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. SELLING IT AS IS, NO WARRANTIES IMPLIED.THANK YOU FOR LOOKING. If car does not sell at the end of this auction, I will keep it and make it my next street rod project.
