Vehicle description

ORIGINAL INLINE-6, 3SPD TRAN, RUNS/DRIVES WELL, VERY NICE CONDITION INSIDE/OUT, MECHANICALLY SOUND. 43,728 original documented miles Total production for 1935 3 Window Coupe was 11,900 units This car was originally black with the tan interior! This beautiful coupe spent its life on the high desert in California, it is an outstanding example of a 35 3 window coupe. I purchased the car a few years ago in New Mexico. The car is somewhat of an internet hit, as there are some videos out there with her original black paint. The prior owner restored the car to what she is currently. The black paint in the door jams, trunk, and cowl is original. The original Serial number is stamped on the engine and the cowl tag is present along with the trim tag on the floor. The body is exceptional for an early Chevy, no rust out anywhere, all the original wood is in perfect condition. The paint was completely stripped down to the metal and primed before the low gloss black was applied, the prior owners goal was to have it look like it was just drug out of the barn unpainted. The bottom of the car is original and not refinished. An authentic reproduction LaBaron Bonny interior installed at a cost of over $5,000. They are now out of business. The 1933 Delco Radio was rebuilt and works perfectly. All gauges, lights and dome light work. Gas gauge is sometimes inaccurate and the vacuum wipers were rebuilt but sometimes slow. Running boards were sent out and original mats installed, brakes and cables rebuilt, front has been rebuilt, tires are not new but very usable, I drive it locally every week. These cars are so rare I would say there probably are more Ford 32 little deuce coupes out there than 35 Chevy 3 window Coupes! .
ENGINE
The engine, trans, and diff. were disassembled and anything that had excessive wear was replaced, the engine had the following replaced. Block and rods rebabbited, crank ground .010 Oil pumpRebore and .030 pistons. New valves, guides, spring, Heads resurfaced and seats ground. Custom core built for the radiator($1100) that has 40% more cooling, as it was in parades in NM with temps around 100 degrees, the stock tanks were used and you can"t tell it from the original. New water pump and NOS generator and cutout. Starter is gone through and exhaust replaced! 3 speed transmission was rebuilt and shifts great. This car is tight driving as well down to the panels. Doors open and close like they were just made. Car has the original optional GM locking gas cap, not a repop. Below the gas filler neck there is some paint crazing from fueling-Easy fix. I only run non-ethanol fuel in this vehicle. Car can sit for a couple months without being run and this doesn’t seem to be an issue. She runs best if started and driven once every week or two. Car is currently in an air conditioned garage in Fort Lauderdale. Title is in my name with 43,713 original actual miles Stated! The vehicle must be titled by next purchaser as a condition of sale- no open titles. Engine number matches title number as it is supposed to just like 1935. Car has a current Florida tag and registration. 1935 New Mexico License plate only for show purposes. The current tag and registration is on the package shelf in photo. This car is legal to drive in the state of Florida and obviously is insured. Purchasers responsible to ensure this car can be titled/registered in their state before purchase. Most of these cars have rebuilt or salvage titles. This car has a clean valid title with actual miles stated on title and original serial number on car matches the title.
