Grimy Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 A VERY rare and desirable car...but as it is, a huge money pit. @edinmass will know the history and be able to elucidate.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Trucker Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 1933 PIERCE ARROW 836 convertible roadster coupe Saloon $40,000 Located in Huntsville, AL Message About This Vehicle Driven 999,999 miles Manual transmission Exterior color: Tan · Interior color: Brown Fuel type: Gasoline Seller's Description EXCELLENT RESTORATION CANDIDATE 1933 Pierce Arrow 836 Convertible Roadster Coupe. Saloon trim level. Extremely rare 1 of 5 in existence recently unearthed. If you are into Brass era cars you know what this is and what they are worth. Included a couple pictures of one of the other remaining roadsters as an example. Very complete car (parts not on car are in crates) for restoration had been stored since the 70’s. Very solid no body rust only surface. Motor is free. Chassis, motor all match and have paperwork going back to original owner. I would consider muscle car and classic European car trades. Serious inquiries only. Alabama does not issue titles for vehicles this old can provide notarized bill of sale, registration and all historical paperwork in my possession of the car.

Just add 800k and drive it. Nest car. Talk about needing everything. I’m guessing it needs wood also. It will probably never get done. I didn’t have this on on my radar……..unusual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 If you are into Brass era cars, you know this one was made about 18 years after that. 😀 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I thought this car was unearthed a couple of years ago, and the new owner was all excited about starting the restoration, anyone remember that? Maybe a dose of reality set in? A lot of money to restore, yes, but would be a lovely car to own. It needs an owner/restorer who can do a lot of his own work to be reasonable. I know of a similar condition (not Pierce but very similar and a Classic) roadster being done now by a restoration shop that's going to be in the 250K cost range fully restored.

Xander Wildeisen Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 It has beautiful flowing lines in the body design. It will find a home, the open market will determine value. You could compare to the other one for sale, when you find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milburn Drysdale Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 What would this go for at auction when restored? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a car for someone with very deep pockets that could care less what the final value is over restoration cost. Hopefully some day it will be on the show field in all its glory. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I know we saw this car a few years ago. It might even be worse now than it was then. I'm trying to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Pierce Arrow had the coolest bumper hands down. That bumper belongs on a Auburn Speedster. Who had the plainest bumper, on one of the coolest cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late Martin Swig (organizer of the California Mille among other things) told me one time "A good project is one where you don't know know what it costs, a bad one is where you remember every dime." Of course he was in a better position than most to feel that way since his family on the Fairmont Hotel in SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Actually, the car you guys think it is was a 1935 V-12 New York show car in a similar color. It came out of Oklahoma, and was sold to a collector in Pennsylvania. It’s currently under restoration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 No one should be surprised if that 836 convertible coupe body magically reappears on a Twelve chassis... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Wow ! Where were cars like this 30 years ago when I could have devoted the rest of my life to bringing it back to life . { Like my friends father did with his Model J I mentioned to you a couple of weeks ago Ed. } Out of money and starting to run out of time as well. But what a grand car ! Edited November 13, 2022 by 1912Staver (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 They are still coming out every month. More than you can imagine. When it comes to open Pierce 8’s and 12’s there are only two unknown cars pulled out in the last 30 years. As far as 8 to 12 swaps……..there are a few of us who hold the knowledge on how to tell them…….and information on how to tell isn’t shared outside the keepers of the purity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
