vintchry Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Bkgc5, Are you buying or selling? These are wonderful cars to drive, comfortable and easy to steer and brake. If it is a good original, getting it running and stopping is what I would do. Does it run and drive now? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bkgc5 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hello Yes…. High Desert Phelan / Victorville area .. do you know of this car ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooy Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Have you bought it yet? It looks like a great find. I have DeSoto CF8 which is a great car to drive so I can only imagine that the CD8 with a bigger motor will be better again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I have the CD 8 Deluxe. I grab parts whenever I can because they are very difficult to find and very expensive. I have actually had to have some parts manufactured. The new wiring harness is available for about $400 and I suggest you examine yours because that was a weak area on the 31. Good luck and get ready to spend quite a few dollars. As I was told early on " this is not a Model A you are restoring "!Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
