SALE PENDING !
Here we have a 1936 Cord 810 Westchester in runing/driving
condition, this Cord was aquired in the mid 60's by our Dad and he
saved from a started conversion to a 289 Ford with a C4 automatic
transmission from a Mustang but never was finished and in need of a
restoration when he purchased it. He aquired this car including its
original but damaged engine having bent rods and the Engine
repaired and all rods, bearings and valves have been replaced
because the pre owner had a supercharger installed and damaged the
original engine, after starting the conversion the owner lost
interest in that project.
Our Dad (who passed) restored this Car in the late 60's to as close
he could do to its present original condition, but there is a view
changes as a Cord knowledgeable people will instantly notice as
relocated Alternator, different Air Filter, shorter Water pipes and
the firewall in the engine compartment. He quit driving it due to
transmission related issues he could not fix and every estimate he
got for repairs just made him drain the fluids and park it under a
cover for all these years passed in one of his Garages on our
property. After his passing and our family taking over it became my
job to make the cars running and get them ready for sale, this Guy
became my challange , it would only hit second gear and by laying
asside modern computer logics i am familiar with it becam a
confrontation for me with just Switches and there calibration,
beginning this i opened after reading up on these Transmissions
what could be broken, i found a in sound condition by looking clean
inside of a Transmission with very little shavings on the the drain
plug and a working lube pump disclaiming mechanical issues or
damages. then after two days i had it down after cleaning all
electrical contacts i found a bent shift cylinder switch dirty and
misadjusted and after straigtened it out and setting everything to
specs the Transmission after learning how to run it worked just
fine and i was able to drive it around the property
Mechanicly and bodywhise i find this beauty in rust free and
working condition as far i can see it would like some new Tires,
Brakes work, cooling was inproved and of course it has the minor
leaks here and there as an old Car just has.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
