AS OF 1/28/18..SALE PENDING.
1932 Chevrolet Confederate 2 Door Sedan
I have owned this car since 1985.
I have driven the car 42,600 miles. The engine has 46,600 miles on
it.It weighs 2,960 lbs.
It is an original body, frame, gas tank, and most body ware fenders
and front apron are fiberglass. Top is chopped 2" or 3". I measured
it against a regular top but don't remember exactly. It has a 350
Target Motor with a Rochester Quadrajet carb and 350 TH
transmission with shift kit. It has a Trans-Am steering column. It
has been Pennsylvania inspected each year since it was purchased.
IT IS THE BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE A CERTIFIED
MECHANIC INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE DRIVING TO MAKE SURE THEY DEEM
IT AS SAFE AS I BELIEVE IT IS.
It runs 100% and is reliable. I added AC / Heat in 1991 and Ron
Francis wiring in 1990. I had the radiator sealed and refurbished
in 2013. It has PS from Gary Beyer's, front suspension coil over
shocks, disc brakes, and aluminized exhaust pipes in 1996. It has
air shocks / springs in the rear. It has a 10 bolt '74 Camaro 3:08
rear end. You easily get 20 mpg + at 55 mph. It has Pertronix
electronic ignition. I applied POR rust preventative on the floor,
firewall, and doors. My current battery was purchased in 2008 and
the one before that lasted 10 years. I check water once a year and
add 4 aspirin to each cell. The car sits most of the year with only
250-300 miles per year the last few years.The motor has 46,000
miles on it and runs well. The wiper motor turns but doesn't
work as it should. The left rear window was cracked when
purchased and I never replaced it. The front tires have 7,000
miles on them and the rear tires 30,000 miles. Oil/filter changed
yearly as well as transmission oil/filter every 10,000 miles or
less. PS fluid always checked and fullk as well as yearly master
cylinder brake fluid check...located underneath driver side floor
plan. Seat-belts installed and 3rd brake light installed in 1988.
Gas tank taken off, cleaned out, and sealed. All lights work and
Ahooga horn. Steering wheel horn works pushing on sides only.

had 4,000 on when I purchased this vehicle.

at the Nats East and he gave me an adjustment nut and said it

cap.
PA Inspected until 07/2018 and inspected each of 32
years I have owned.
72,644 ----> PRESENT MILEAGE ON ODOMETER
While taking pictures today the small cabin light in the back seat
does not illuminate. I tested the bulb and it is good. I suspect
switch wore out after 25 years or lose connection. It lights with
the headlight switch as does the light under the dash, when turned
left.
The driver side seat latch sometimes won't come back up. I have a
picture on how to do it. A more mechanical mind would be able to
solve the problem. There are two side trim pieces near the windows
that fell out. I have the piece covered with cloth that will fit.
Overall I think that is all. The engine is not as clean as I used
to keep it, but all shined up looks great. The headers are JET
COATED and have a lifetime guarantee. I had them recoated one time.
All you have to do is send them back and there is a code on the
headers. I polished them once a year with Wenol and they kept their
shine but haven't done it the last two years. This car has always
been garaged. Owned for last 31 years. 464th Street Rod registered
in PA. Reliable, Runs Well.
Sold as is. No Warranty.
Car has current PA inspection until 7/2018 .I WILL ONLY SELL MY CAR AFTER A PERSONAL VEHICLE INSPECTION BY THE POTENTIAL BUYER OR A PROFESSIONAL PAID TO EVALUATE THE CAR. ...NOT JUST A FRIEND. I WILL TAKE YOU A RIDE AS NO ONE BUT ME HAS DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE 1985. TRANSACTION WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE LOCAL POLICE STATION TO ENSURE BOTH PARTIES ARE HONEST AND SAFE. PICTURES WILL BE TAKEN OF YOU, YOUR VEHICLE AND LICENSE PLATE If you are located outside of PA this does not apply.If I was buying this car now..I would update the following: Repair or new AC system. Mechanicals work but leaks apparent and rusting under the fender condensor.(AC)..ADD POWER BRAKES as after driving a modern car, you really have to adjust you driving...she stops well, but with a lot of pedal pressure...ADD ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN...she runs cool at speed and idles OK, but during hot weather, the temp. rises. She never blew her top, but then I always got underway. Please only correspond via this email site as I have difficulty hearing on the phone.
