Seller's Description:

Please read the WHOLE ad before replying.
UNTIL SPRING IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE CAR. IF INTERESTED NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO LOOK AT IT AS WE ARE HAVING UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER THIS WEEK.
1947 Dodge Business Coupe, this is a 3-passenger coupe with no back seat
CALIFORNIA CAR that I purchased in 1990, car has always been garaged all its life.... never parked in the weeds.
13,137 miles, yes that is correct, and no NOT 113, 137
Straight clean Western body, ANYTHING IN THE PICTURES THAT LOOK LIKE DENTS ARE REFLECTIONS OR DUST. Bumpers were re-chromed before I purchased it. This car was originally dark green, repainted a lighter green before I purchased it. The wheels, rings, caps, and tires were all new a week before going into storage. Unity spotlights, Fulton sun visor, peep mirrors, etc. The person before me had built the covers in the trunk.... I left them because they looked nice.
Some of the interior has been replaced. The discoloration on the headliner was there when I purchased it as was the rubs on the original seat cover.
230 cid fluid drive. You can drive it as an automatic or a stick, I drove it as a stick.
I parked it high and dry in 1998 when family health issues arouse.... oiled the cylinders so it wouldn't seize. I haven't started it since 1998.
The pictures of the car with the rings and caps are the last pictures before storage.... the picture with the "mags" is just before the rings and caps.... the dusty pics are new. There were no mouse nests or grossness.
Price is $10,990, no trades.
If paid in FULL, will store until spring when I'm not dealing with ice and snow.
Located in State Center, Iowa 50247
Once there is winter permanent ice here the car will not be moved.
If you aren't really interested let's not waste each other's time. No low ball offers please.

I've seen this car before but it's still an interesting car. Don't know if it was here or somewhere else.

Not having been run in 24 years and most likely needing many items fixed or adjusted I would say the price is too high. If it was running and in good shape price is close.

Sat idle for too long, it definitely needs the "$2000 wake up" m-mman was discussing on here about a week ago.

circa 1970-72 I bought a 1948 Dodge business coupe and a club coupe for 100.00 each and they ran fine, no rust.

 

today you might be able to buy a new tire for 100.00

 

Also at that time my friend bought a running Corvair for 35.00

I think I paid $150.00 for mine and ended up working on the engine.

Too bad they washed the "barn find" dust off! That reduced the value by half!
