They not only describe this particular car but also some history of the make/model, considerations in buying a classic car and facts about our firm. However, we continually hear from out-of-state / out-of- country buyers (many of our clients) that they prefer the level of detail that we provide.

Observers believe the car was just finished probably due to the care the car has received in the 9K~ miles since it was built. The Ford is free from door dings and there are no defects that detract from the overall classic look of the '32 3-window Coupe. Even the hood, where it meets the body is free from the normal chips seen on this vintage street rod. The Zinc Yellow is reminiscent of American Graffiti and is a great look with the striking light custom interior. All glass is excellent and the car has power windows and an excellent headliner mounted sound system. The interior is excellent. The engine compartment is beautifully detailed as is the entire undercarriage of the car. It is apparent that it has not been driven in inclement weather. The undercarriage is painted in matching yellow with many chrome parts, including suspension components. Even the light color shows well and reflects the quality construction despite being having a bit of patina from minimal use. DRIVABILITY Get ready for a lot of looks and plan on spending extra time talking about this one every time you stop! Not only was the '32 was built at considerable cost, it was clearly constructed by an excellent craftsman. This is certainly the reason for the cars quality appearance and, as importantly, the excellent drivability and proven reliability of the Ford Deuce Coupe. The Ford starts immediately, drives straight, stops well and has excellent power from 350c.i engine and TH350 transmission. It is virtually ‽leak free" and the investment in ongoing mechanical service / preventative maintenance has kept the car running with no breakdowns or ‽surprises." It is a reliable street road that the owner uses to go to shows hundreds of miles from his home in Northern California and says he would "drive anywhere.†The 1932 Ford also offers a high level of comfort with air conditioning/heat, disc brakes and even a tilt wheel, power windows, AM/FM radio and other "niceties." Of course, one advantage of the 2 Door Sedan (besides the attractive styling) is the ability to carry passengers and additional personal items in the rear of the car (unlike cramped coupes of the same era). This is one of the nicest 32's that we have seen in a long, long time and it is truly "turn-key" and ready to use. Please take a close look at the photos, including the spectacular undercarriage that speaks volumes about the overall quality of the ‽build.†OTHER • Clear California title with current California registration for both car and trailer • California smog test not required for vehicles 1975 and older • Passed the California required safety inspection for working wipers, turn signals, lights, brakes, etc. • Car cover PURCHASING A COLLECTOR VEHICLE - THINGS TO CONSIDER As always, we recommend that you carefully review the seller's background for any collector car being sold over the Internet. It is important to ask yourself a number of questions including, but not limited to: - How long have they been in business? - How much experience do they have with collector cars? - How many positive collector car vehicle sales have they completed (positive eBay feedback)? - How detailed/complete is the description of the vehicle? - Do the photos show details of the interior, exterior, top, chrome, etc. or are they simply "glamour shots" taken from a distance? - Does the seller have a Surety Bond to protect the financial transaction? - What about insurance, licensing by the state, and a local business license? - Does the seller (if a business) have any DMV (Motor Vehicle) complaints and/or other history of legal action, grievances? - Does the seller enjoy a favorable local and national/international reputation? - Can the seller assist with funding sources, transport and out of state/country sales? ABOUT CLASSIC CARS LTD. - Classic Cars Ltd. has been in the same, small, California town for over 21 years. We operate a small "brick & mortar", indoor showroom, and specialize in the sale, consignment, and purchase of sports, high performance and specialty vehicles of all types. We have a particular interest in sports cars and unique vehicles. - The majority of our vehicles come from local, private owners and collectors, and many were sold new in California. We appreciate that rust free cars, with excellent documentation and history are especially attractive to our buyers both locally, and around the country. As a result, we do not purchase our collectible cars from "distressed" sales, such as wholesale auctions, salvage sales, or lien sales. We do not sell vehicles with salvage titles, or those that have a history of significant accident damage or repair. - We have sold hundreds of unique, classic and collectible vehicles and regularly deal with buyers that have not had the experience of purchasing a large (both physically and monetarily) item on eBay, or through an Internet source. Our eBay feedback is 100% positive on all vehicle sales from customers around the globe and is a reflection of our commitment to accurate, complete, and thorough vehicle descriptions. - We have been shipping vehicles for years and have established excellent contacts that are not only high quality but very price competitive. We do not use brokers, terminal shipping or other discount methods. Call us or email for a quote directly to your home or office. We are often able to obtain quality enclosed transportation (the kind of travel this car deserves) for the cost of open shipping. - Please review our feedback on eBay (user name Never22Many) representing over 975 positive transactions to buyers all over the United States / World. - We are fully insured, bonded, and licensed for collector car sales all over the United States/World. - Classic Cars Ltd. carries a $50,000 Surety bond to cover financial transactions - We frequently sell vehicles to out of State / out of country buyers, and will be glad to provide references for buyers in your area. MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL INFORMATION - As with virtually all collector/specialty vehicles, we find that parts and resources are readily available for this (and most every vehicle), thanks in large part to the Internet. - In addition to the purchase price of the vehicle, California buyers will be subject to sales tax, a documentation fee, DMV transfer fees and license/registration. Out-of-state buyers will be responsible for the purchase price of the vehicle and any local taxes/fees will be the purchaser's responsibility to pay in their respective state. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the vehicle is delivered or driven in California and driven on California roads, sales-tax, license/registration and transfer fees will be assessed per California law. - While we encourage telephone calls to discuss this vehicle in greater detail. Also, if you would prefer that we call you to answer any questions about the vehicle; shipping alternatives, etc. please e-mail us with your telephone number and will gladly get back in touch with you. - We encourage inspections of this Ford by serious, qualified individuals or professional inspectors. Please call at 925-846-1451 to arrange a convenient time. - As with any collectible vehicle of this vintage we are unable to provide a warranty or guarantee of condition. However, we make every effort to accurately represent our vehicles, and highlight both positive items as well as areas that require attention. We ask that prospective buyers consider our eBay history/feedback, standing in the community, length of time in business, and other factors when purchasing a collectible vehicle from Classic Cars Ltd. - Minor cosmetic issues/flaws may be present on every vehicle (regardless of cost) including small chips, nicks, scratches, etc. that can be seen on even the best restoration, or even a relatively new, used "pre-owned" vehicle. Also, ownership of a collectible / specialty vehicle is more enjoyable if the owner is familiar with the "realities" of these unique cars. Unlike more modern day vehicles, these cars require regular, ongoing care/maintenance and some mechanical knowledge, patience, and understanding can make the experience considerably more pleasant. That said, collector / "specialty" car owners will tell you (emphatically) that they love their cars and wouldn't trade them for anything!! - The information contained in this description is believed to be accurate but, in some instances, has been provided by the car's owner / owners or outside sources. As a result, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy of the information. We encourage verification of "numbers" and significant data prior to the purchase of any collector vehicle that you are considering. Thank you, Paul Wankle Classic Cars Ltd. 925-846-1451
