Thinking about to sell my Holy Grail


Recommended Posts

Gentlemen, 

I thinking about selling my 1933 Rockne 10 DeLuxe Roadster (Convertible)

 

Registry (Larry Tholen) reads, its the last one left in the world.

As you know, its a life time oportunity.

Honest seller, many of the Guys here know me in person.

 

Condition: Survivor, unrestored, beautilfull, everybodys darling.

Zero rust, original shiny Nitro Paint, original roof and liner, original seats (Vinyl).

Car has some very little athentic patina but its rated 2+, the Lady loox much better than 84 years old!

Startix still in use, worx perfect. 

Wire Wheels, neuer Coker Tires made in NewZealand

Car drives and is used for shows and Vintage car Rallyes

 

Lots of spare parts:

NOS Glass taillight emblems (both: Rockne and Studebaker Rockne), whole engine mith Head and Gose neck,  NOS carburator, silencer, 

Hub caps, Spare Wheel holder and Wing Nuts, vintage Fotos, Dealer Broschures (engl. and german) , NOS Emblems (both: Rockne and Studebaker Rockne) Memorabilas, Rockne Parts books (no Reprint!), Knute Rockne Memorabilas, Books and Collecting items, some Radiator Caps (Flat and Flying R), whole front axle and brakes, steering parts, NOS Timing Chain, Fuel pump, water pump, spark plugs, LH tail lights holder with license plate holder.

 

Did some TLC as original 33 Headlights (restored and rechromed), (at the pictures u see the wrong installed lamps, have to take Fotos with the original ones)

2 Original style Taillights (unfortunately Repro).

The only original thing still missing is ignition coil with Key switch.

Rare Fender position lights are turn Signals now, made some amber Acryl cast inserts instead of the white glass lenses. Glass lenses come with the car. Two taillights now with additional turn glas signal lamps below.

Most people say they are original but they dont. ;) Did a good Job....

Periodic correct turn signal switch in steering column with separate wiring to lamps.

1934 Winkers with electro/-clock switch still in the car.

 

Included correct original Jack and periodic correct Tools in cotton bag.

 

Runs perfect.

Passes hard Local safety Inspection without any issue!

 

Roof opens and closes perfect.

 

Multiple Show Winner, 2nd. at nation wide Concours 'd Elegance,  2017

Located in Germany

Car is in Europe since 1934. Origin from Netherlands.

Maybe one of the cars shipped in crates to Europe in 1933/34 after bancrupcy of Studebaker?

KM/H Speedo,  Miles speedo comes with the car.

 

always garaged and long distance trailered.

 

To do:

Water gauge glas broken (original replacement comes with the car)

Fuel gauge not working (line leak), after repair gauge needs refill.

Maybe replace the wiring ? Its over 80 years old......

Wind shield Frame needs some Work and rechrome maybe.

 

Reason for selling it: no time to enjoy it

 

Foto documentation on request,

Safe Container Shipping to US no Problem, i can arrange.

 

Where should i offer it for sale?

Ship it to US for auctionating?

What will be a reasonable price for it?

 

best regards

Joe

 

Disclaimer:

Wifey dont comes with the car. NFS. Even not for $10Mio!

Very cool car.  There is a good market for prewar American cars in Europe so I would think you should be able to sell it there as easily as the U.S.   The cost of getting it here and selling it might not be worth the premium.

 

As for value,  tough call.   Probably less than you would hope,  but that is true of every car I own also.

As a three-decade Rockne owner unfortunately I must agree. Another instance where rarity, condition and age do not equate to investment value.

Your best market return is still going to be in the EU but, my advice would be to enjoy it more; get it seen more; perhaps with a "For Sale" sign attached; and ask for offers without quoting a price. It's a beautiful example that anyone should be proud to own.

Well done!

Hopefully the new owner will update his information on the Rockne Register.

 

The new owner is my wife. She told me i can not sale it, because she loves the Rocky. Then i get a Kiss as payment. I think it was a fair deal?
