Chris Coon Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 This car was purchased by its current owner in 1994 as a very original, unmolested, rust free, running car. The body was removed, and repainted, the wood behind and below the rumble seat was replaced, all the other wood was and is in good condition. The chassis received a thorough restoration. The engine was inspected and found to be in good condition, so it just received a "light freshening" (admittedly, I'm not sure exactly what that means) but I do know it did not have the bearings re-babbitted. However, I have run and driven the car, and there are no abnormal noises and it runs smoothly and strong. The interior and top are Lebarron-Bonney and fit very nicely. The restoration was finished off in 1999 with new wiring and chrome plating. There are very few reproduction parts on this car. The tires were new in 2002.The owner drove the car less than 200 miles after the restoration was finished and the car was parked in a dry storage area until this year.This past summer (2014) the car received a complete fuel system cleaning, all fluids were replaced, a new battery, chassis lubed, and a 15 mile test drive. It runs and drives GREAT, I was very pleased with how strong the engined pulled and how well the steering and suspension tracked over the road. The car today is in great condition (not perfect), there are a few paint chips, and there is a chip in the bottom corner of the windshield. The odometer reads 41,626 , I feel it is quite possible that this is the actual mileage but certainly have no way to verify or confirm that. The asking price is $45,000, any reasonable offer will certainly be considered. The car has been "put away" for the winter, but can easily be viewed and driven out of its garage as long as there is not to much snow on the ground here in Northwest ConnecticutI have quite after photos and hope to get them posted hereAny questions or discussions can be emailed or call or text my cell. 860-248-1102Thanks for lookingChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Coon Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the kind words. The car belongs to a very good friend who has several cars, mostly brass era, he would like to own 4 or 5 cars, he says he is down to 8 Edited November 26, 2014 by Chris Coon (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahartley Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think the '32 Confederate is one of the prettiest cars ever.I wonder what happened with this one on ebay? $14,650 seems nuts.......WHO would sell for that?....... :confused: (Besides the seller of course)http://www.ebay.com/itm/1932-Chevy-Confederate-Special-2-door-Sedan-/121472121126?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&forcerrptr=true&hash=item1c484d7926&item=121472121126&nma=true&si=cLNkjnXHoUN7jIRYtpOHrScWFrw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Re: chatley's ad. Did you notice the ad said 2 door and the picture was a 4 door? It also said it needed painting and tha the missing parts were included. The picture showed a complete painted car with nothing missing. What's more amazing is nobody asked questions and it sold for $20,000.Am I skeptical or not?

Chris Coon Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have to admit, I am surprised that this car has not sold yet. Any comments or thoughts, be honest, I can take it The owner is willing to consider any reasonable offer at this pointThanks for lookingChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Chris,it always comes down to pricing. You had the car on ebay I believe and ebay pretty much sets the value for all things in current mkt conditions. Sometimes you get a bargain, but for the most part, things sell according to the mkt.In any case, consider who is buying a 32 Chevy. The younger crowd is already looking at "newer" cars.I would sell my 31 roadster which needs finishing and buy the 32, but it is out of reach for me. Consider a reserve on ebay and start the price at 1.00. Then you will realistically see what this car will bring. It is a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Coon Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Actually, it is listed on Ebay now, for the first time. I will be interested to see where it goes , it has had some activity and is crawling up in price.It does seem like interest in early cars has backed off considerably in the last 5-10 years,which is really to bad, this is such a great hobby. I don't think it will ever go away completely, at least I hope not.Anyway, thanks for the nice comment about the car, it really is a nice example. I'll let you know what the outcome isChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am in the market for this car but his original asking price scared me and likely many others away. I think t was a mistake to list it at the price he did when the price guides suggest otherwise. JMO. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Coon Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I think there was one on Ebay a little while back for around 50,000 or something like that.It was very similar, so don't be nervous about Alzheimer's just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
