Car for sale
 

Before you all fall over, it is not the Cobra.

I have decided that I honestly do have too many cars on the go and have decided to get rid of a few of them.
2 will end up at the wreckers I think, but this one might interest some people, might even intrest someone in the States?

I have a 1952 Chev coupe ute for sale, these cars where only ever manufactured in Australia (so any USA rodders if you want something unusual this could be it).
Below is a cut and paste from an Australian rodding website where the car is listed.

Well I have decided that I will pass this project onto someone with more time on there hands.
I have a 1952 Chev coupe ute for sale, I purchased this car from a restorer, he had dismantled the car and stripped the chassis bare.
The chassis has been cleaned and repaired (although you can still see pitting and rock damage dents on some parts)
I have refitted the original front and rear assys, and refitted the body to the chassis (only a couple of bolts)
I will reassemble the vehicle as much as I can to make it easier for transportation.
It appears to be all there excluding the engine and gearbox, all glass is missing apart from the door glass (however all glass is flat panel)
All chrome work is there but will need replating as there are small rust spots on most of it.
I will add more pictures as the car is assembled.

I am looking to get $1500.00 for the car.

I am willing to assist in any way (time and labour wise) to help new owners to relocate vehicle to there location.

I had planned on rebuilding this to use as a tow vehicle for the Cobra, but the reality is that with all the other cars I am doing, It wont be started for about 4 years, and I need something sooner than that.

Jeeze just contact a hotrod website and you'll get a load of offers. I wouldn't mind that myself but I'm broke and got no room. ha ha ha.

Yeah I have got it on one Australian rod website.
Also joined the local rod club (had been wanting to do this for a while now) and it will be in the next newsletter, and the secretary is going to do an email pass out to all members.

Yes think you may be right with some interest from the US. Would make a great rod project.

Here are some more pics I took today.
I got the car back together late yesterday - but the camera batteries where flat.

G'day Boxhead.
If only I had a garage - that'd be a ripper as a next project.....

Hey there Pete.
Still keen to sell it, but this is the first time I have seen it all assembled, and I am falling in love with it again.
In the bottom of my heart I wont mind if it does not sell, as I will put in the garden as a little bit of art, and drag it out later when it is time to build it.
With such huge amounts of rain and snow we get here in Alice, the poor thing should last a year or 2.

Here is one that a guy in town recently set up in his garden (he is doing the same thing - waiting for his shed to clear).
