1933 Dodge Coupe = A REAL Barn Find!!

Continue reading the Original Blog Post

 

So I spent my 8 minutes and watched the video,,, he sounds like a car salesman (person).
This beautiful example of a 19 and 32 Dodge just came onto our lot as a trade-in, step up and be the first to own the finest example of a vehicle produced 90 years go,,,, yes folks this one will go fast,,,,
Nice vehicle, but is he a car builder/person? Or a dealer?

 

Flipper, I think.

 

Tony -

He (@roadkillontheweb) is a fellow HAMBer that would've liked to buy the car ... but is in the middle of building a new house ... so he is just helping the (elderly) owners sell it.

Checkout his two threads about the car:

• nice ones are still hiding out there. pulled from 50+ plus years storage
• 56 years in storage very solid and complete 1933 Dodge coupe

 

Dayyumm, how come I don't find something like that? A 33 Plymouth/Dodge is on my someday list.

 

Love 30's Mopar's! That's why I'm building a 30' Chrysler coupe, body lines are awesome!

 

I want one!

 

Yes,,,I read his earlier post .
Maybe I misunderstood the wording,,,,,but I took it that he was a flipper .
And besides,,,,,he could clean it very good and sell it,,,,and still build his house .
If I misunderstood,,,,,I apologize .

As I think someone posted in an earlier thread,,,,,,this belongs in the classified section .

He will find out very quickly tis ain't a Ford. It won't bring Ford prices. The car is perfect to me just the way it is but no one will retire from selling it.

 

I would get it running and reliable. Then drive it.

 

Get it running, CLR and wax the paint, new upholstery, lower it, and drive the heck out of it.

 

@typo41, @'28phonebooth, & @Desoto291Hemi -

He may very well be a “flipper” (or a even a “slimy used car salesman”) ... but in this case, I think he’s just being a real nice guy ... helping some folks he’s known for three decades sell one of their cars (that’s been in storage for five + decades) ... at least that’s how I interpreted this post:

No where in either of his “PROJECT” threads about the car did he state that he purchased the vehicle from the elderly couple (i.e., buy it from them on the cheap and “flip it” for a profit) ... he only states that he pulled it out of their storage, cleaned it up, and created a video to document it ... all in an attempt to get the most $$$ FOR the elderly couple.

Then again, I don’t know the guy (nor have I read through all 1,402 of his posts here on the H.A.M.B.) ... so I guess there’s a possibility that he’s a “flipper”... but if he is, why did he start two “PROJECT” threads about the car ... vice just post a “CLASSIFIED Ad” for it ... ???

 

I hope the orig owner gets the rewards for saving her. Although a four door , the orig owner here passed on and the daughter wanted a grand at ,yes , a yard sale, I gave her 2500.

Cool, @harpo1313

 

This was very exciting to see, I love these MoPar coupes with such style and character. This one is so outstanding, racoons are so clever, too bad the smart little bastards made it inside this beauty. Appreciate the share and let us know, "they are still out there"!

 

I know a guy who has at least 15 33 Plymouths and Dodges. Coupes, pickups and 2 and 4-dr sedans. A couple are in better shape than that one as not being restored yet. I think one non restored coupe is a deluxe with roll down wing windows. Some are stock and some are modified. His place is spotless.

 

Hemi 32,
No offense,,,,,but I was going from his original post in the thread,,,,,nice ones are still out there .

Post 1,,,,he states he found it and it is now in a different part of Iowa .
Post 2,,,,the other guy asked his plans for it .
Post 3,,,,he states his plan is to clean it up and find it a new home .

I’m sorry I didn’t see the other thread,,,,I just assumed he was fishing for an offer .
I’m sure he is above board,,,,,,but sometimes a little clarification is helpful.
The same way some thread titles need more wording to get better responses,,,,,it’s all in the details .
I’ve seen a lot of people come in here and basically ask what something is worth,,,just to get all they can .
It’s a free country,,,,,and if I offended you,,,I apologize.

Tommy

 

Can’t fault a guy for mentioning things that will be up for grabs, on the main boards. I’m sure we’ll see it in the classifieds. Many will ask “thinking of selling my xxxx what should I ask”?

My feeling is if the Mods thought it was poor form they’d lock or delete/move it.
But I’m just a guest here enjoying my stay

BTW, I think it’s a way cool car, may not get “Ford money” but should help out the owners quite a bit.
I still think he should look into the DBC and might get more from a member there. Them folks are pretty anal (not intended to denigrate them) about original cars.

No, I did not buy the car, I am an old car nut like the owner and am helping him sell it for the best dollar possible. I do get a percentage for my work but I am also putting in a lot of work to get it ready and get the best price from the market. The owner has early stage alzheimers and knows he will not be able to do anything with it and would like to see it get into good hands and they need the money. Things are now settled down and I have the signed title in hand ready to turn it over to the top bidder. I will be sending messages and emails to those that have expressed interest and will close the window of offers Sunday July 18th 2021 at 8PM central time.

 

Thanks for the kind words, nobody calls me JR much any more since Andy passed away. He used to think it was hilarious when people would ask if I was his son, then he would say if he was I would have to smack his mother.

 

I don't mind being corrected, I am a jerk a bunch of the time to just stir the pot and get comments from others.
I obviously read the wrong thing in the OP and missed he was getting it ready to sell for the owners, which is way kool! On the HAMB, it seems damned if you do, damned if you don't,,, meaning,,,we praise members that get killer deals from unsuspecting owners, but if the owner is close to a HAMB member, the buyer is given a hard time of taking advantage of the seller,,,, what to do???
Thanks, and onward we go looking for the elusive $2,000 32 Ford Coupe,., have to beat out Iron Trap Garage!!!

 

Should of stated this in the first post.

 

What a bunch of whiny nit pickers, quit yer bitchin. It doesn't really matter if he bought it or not, it's for sale. Step up to the plate and buy it or keep quite

 

Sold. Heading to Oregon. I think I did well for the owners.

 

The car is on its way to Oregon with the new owner. Both sellers and buyer are happy. Just don’t find them this solid, complete and original any more

 

Forth photo is the original owner who was a librarian and passed away at 70 years old in 1965.

 

You did good. Things positive I like to hear.

 

Glad it went to a good home and the couple got a nice wad for it!!
