1936 Auburn 4 dr Sedan -Rare Antique Car - $5,500 (New Orleans)

[rg171352]

1936 Very Rare Auburn four door sedan with hump back trunk, solid car to restore or modify. Engine is a Lycoming built (for Auburn) aluminum head 6 cylinder engine complete with 3 speed manual transmission. These were very rare back in 1936 and rarer today as Auburn stopped making cars in 1936 so this is the last of this style. It has the same front grill and hood ornament as the very expensive 35/36 Auburn boat-tailed speedsters. This car lists in the Old Car Price Guide as a number 5 condition (not running but restorable and not a parts car) has a value of $6,380.00. I bought this car out of St Louis and can only provide a bill of sale on this vehicle. The car is missing the glove box door and seats but all other parts are present (bumpers, rear fenders) as it is basically a "barn find car". Parts to restore this are easily available from the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg factory (ACD Factory) in Broken Arrow, OK where all the original factory parts for Auburns are available as well as other Auburn vendors you can find on the internet. Car has been in dry storage for over 15 years and prior history is not known. Cash only on pick up, no other form or payment accepted. Hot Rod, Street Rod, Antique Car, Classic Car, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1937, 1938, 1939 automobile.

You'd have to really love it to attempt a restoration on it.  Hopefully someone has everything else needed to restore it or use it for parts.

Look at the photos …….solid car to restore? I want what he is smoking. Maybe only half a dose.

Several years ago I saw one of these for sale in Puyallup, WA. It looked pretty solid. I went over for a closer look and it had a 1970s smogger 6 cylinder in it and an automatic transmission. Bleh. If you had that car and this one, you might have something.

I like it, but I am a Auburn fan. Price seems fair to me.

If the other parts are readily available why do sellers not get them to make the project complete?   
 

Because they are not readily available and are expensive.

The 35/36 Auburn‘s are fantastic. However I’ve never driven the six cylinder version. But I can tell you the eight cylinder cars are awesome, especially the blown ones.

Where ever it was stored, that interior photo indicates it was quite damp...

Are the floors in these still wood? Or just  main insert area’s?  Did they ever have full steel floors? Packard was still using wood for the sill/floor structure in 1937. I had a 1931 Auburn, those used a lot of wood in the construction of the body.

Floors are wood on the 35/36 Auburn.

What ever happened to the Auburn convertible coupe 35-36? That popped up on this forum. Unrestored, up against a building in Washington State. Owner was selling for an estate? This would have been 2-3 years ago? Anyone pick it up?

The 1934 Auburn 652 six cylinder is a 119" wb; the 1935 653 and 1936 654 are 120" wb.    The front end looks stubby in profile when one is used to seeing the eight-cylinder models on their 127" wb.
