Top of the line 1932 Chrysler needing a ground up restoration. Nice car to restore, no rust, no damage to body, dings etc. on fenders. 95% complete. Rolling chasis, body, engine. Two transmissions, one with overdrive, many chromed parts, some new or rebuilt parts, extra parts. 8 cylinder top of Chrysler line. Nice big body and long hood, dual sidemounts, mirrors, tail lights, cowl lights. Four door sedan. A great car to restore.

Edit:  Yes, I thought this car looked familiar.  A quick search shows I posted an earlier ad for the same car:

 

The only thing that surprises me is how quickly I can forget this stuff!

A project for sure. The greasemonkey handprint on the door is a good indicator that work has just started.

Good luck finding the exhaust manifold, grill louvers and crank hole cover. The last 5% can be a lengthy and $$$ process.

But its a 'great car to restore'.  Kidding aside, it does look like a pretty decent base to start with. No idea on value, but I would imagine this would bring a nice price when finished.

It would need to bring a good price to recoup your investment. I'm no expert but I think one would have to take this on because you loved bringing an old car back to life and not as an investment. If you had a parts car setting around it would be a huge help.

This is a nice car to restore, but one would need patience, because the missing parts are hard to find. Also, I noticed since the ads in March, it lost both of it's bumpers, and there is no mention of them in the Craigslist ad. If they are gone, that is a huge loss, as they will be expensive and elusive. He mentions in the ad also that this is a CH model, which it is not. It is a CP. These are beautiful cars when properly done, and I hope it doesn't end up as a street rod.

Perhaps someone saw the ad that needed a set of bumpers. Bam! sold to a ready buyer and now the next guy with this car has to worry about it. Somewhat related, I saw an ad from a guy that was parting out a car identical to mine. When I called him about a specific part I need his response was that he wanted one person to buy the whole thing? Not sure he understood what parting out meant.

Sold the bumpers but nobody wanted the radiator cap?  The correct one for my 31 PA is like 600 bucks..  Needless to say I don't have one.

Sounds like you should make an offer, LOL.
