FS 1947 Chrysler Windsor Club Coupe

[aguzman593]

This 1947 Chrysler Windsor Club Coupe was gifted to its late owner 10 years ago for restoration. He owned an autobody shop until his passing earlier this year. The car was stripped and painted just a couple years ago. It has been sitting for awhile now so you'll see a lot of dust in the pictures but it is a beautiful deep burgundy underneath. The late owner's wife tells me that the car was running recently but some work was being done and was not completed before he became too ill.

We believe, however, that all the parts needed to complete the Windsor are stored with it. A complete list is here in the description and many of the parts, but not all, are pictured above. I welcome any questions!

I'd suggest you add the location of this car, the price, and if it comes with the title. John

There's not really enough info out there for me to put a price on it. Definitely probing to find out. It's an OBO type of thing. Yes, I posted it on eBay last week. I suppose I can put the link here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/404434520485

FYI there may well be more parts scattered among the clutter in that storage unit. The widow tried to find everything but I'm sure more will pop up as she clears out the space.

The problem with project cars is the buyer is in the dark about how the car runs and drives.  that's a big negative, plus the fact that labor costs to finish the car are sky high unless you know how to do the work yourself.

You seem to have overlooked my suggestion about posting whether the title for this car is included. Didn't see this issue addressed in your eBay sales attempt either. IMO getting a clear title is always an important factor when dealing with estate cars, especially one that was previously "gifted" to the now- deceased owner at some point in the past. John

I was told the car was running within the last two years. I do not know what work was started and not completed that prevents it from running right now.

I did, indeed, overlook your question. The widow is looking for the title among all the paperwork left behind. She knows it exists and she has it somewhere in her home but dealing with her husband's passing has made it difficult. Regardless, the widow is willing to remain in touch with whomever buys the car in case she finds more parts or documentation.

Thanks for sharing some of the details about the title situation, aguzman593. John

Hey, clearly this didn't get much interest but I should probably post that IT HAS SOLD. Thanks!
