1933 Chrysler Antique in Reno, Nevada

Vehicle Description

This great Chrysler sedan received a complete restoration in 2007/2008. The work was done by B and T Custom Rod and Restoration here in Reno. Over $70k was invested in the car between the original purchase and all the subsequent work it received (new paint, upholstery, motor, braking system, suspension, electrical, chrome plating... The works). All original receipts are intact from the time the car was purchased by the current owners in 2007. Since then the Chrysler has participated in various car shows and won multiple awards. It is garage-kept and has less than 500 miles on it since its restoration.

Mechanical- There are no known issues with the car; it drives well and does everything it should. All gauges, knobs, lights and such work. The Mopar 360 c.i. engine runs great and has a deep, throaty exhaust note through its twin-exhaust. The disc brakes are powerful and fully up to the task of stopping the car at any speed. Steering is smooth and consistent and the suspension is tight, without creaks or other issues. The original side panels for the front cowling come with the car but aren't installed. The owners noted that they left them off so the engine would cool better. The panels were restored at the same time as the car and are the same color.

Cosmetics- The paint job was very expensive and for the most part looks it. There are minor blemishes and a few imperfections, but nothing serious. The paint is still bright with no signs of oxidation or UV damage. The car spends 99.5% of its time in its garage so it looks pretty much the same as the day it rolled out of the restoration shop.

The engine is clean and bright. Honestly, it looks fantastic. It really doesn't need anything to be its best. Great work.

The interior is very nice with no issues or problems. The upholstery is stunning; both well done and clean as a whistle. The same goes for the headliner. The gauges are clean, the glass is clear and the carpet looks new. Overall, the interior is just about as perfect as you could hope to find. It's also comfortable, something that doesn't always come with a new upholstery job. Interior-wise the car is really nice to sit in and drive.

Price: To determine fair market value the car was professionally appraised in September, 2017. The appraised fair-market value
(not replacement value, which is much higher) came in at $39,200. The appraisal document is available for review to prospective buyers.
