Twisted Shifter Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) OK...tell me I'm crazy, but I sure like this coupe. Price is way out of bounds for what it is (no paperwork, not running, far from original, etc). Lots of "if's", but presuming you could get that old stovebolt running, and do what normally has to be done to a car in this condition (brakes, lights, fuel system), and add a gallon of fresh primer and reliable tires, I think you'd have a fun project to refine as you see fit. It's not something to flip, and would be a hobby money pit, or a father/daughter or son project. I don't know if '33 REO's contain a lot of wood. That might just squelch everything. The price would would need to be negotiated or traded way down in any case. But, man, a 1930's three window coupe been on my bucket list a long time. I'm not sure if I'm lucky or not, the fact it's a thousand miles away. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/stockton-1933-reo-3w-coupe-rumble-seat/7660943317.html Up for sale is a modified 1933 Reo 3 window coupe - engineswapped out for a GM 250 6 cylinder with auto transmission.Condition of engine and tranny unknown - car appears to havelast been on the road 2005.

Leif in Calif Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I liked it too! '33 has a high point in looks for many cars, this one among them. Wrong engine but not "ruined" with a small block or something. Sold by a flipper that knows nothing, maybe he'd make a decent deal.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
