1940 Chrysler Royal
Suicide Doors
Flathead 6 Standard
Untouched Pre-war Original
Runs with New Inspection
This was put away many years ago, and has only recently emerged. It is completely unmolested. There is some rust in the truck and some in the floorboards, but that's it!! You can jump up and down on the running boards. Rock Solid!! You can see from the pictures the undercarriage looks great. I have all the chrome pieces for the front grill.
It runs good enough that we drove it on the trailer to transport it last week. Shifts good, clutch good, brakes have a good pedal. It needs a carb rebuild probably. Stale gas smell!! I have tune up parts for it in case a cap rotor and plugs cure it. I am going to let someone else mess with it. This car will be lots of fun for someone, whatever direction they take with it. It is in such great original condition for being 75 years old that it can go towards restoration, rat rod, patina ride, whatever. Prewar original you never seem to find anymore.
Following is the generic description of who I am and what we do. I run the Boat-N-RV Warehouse at Exit 21B of the NY Thruway, in the Upper Hudson Valley of New York State. I am the General Manager there. I have worked for the company for over 20 years, and the owner of all the stores and affiliated companies is one of my close friends. That's my day job. Something I also do is run Ft Ann Traders at the corner of Rt 149 and Rt 4 in Ft Ann, NY. The actual address is 52 George St. What I do there is take all the odd trades of cars and trucks and bikes and planes and trains and things that come in trade to the Boat-N-RV stores, and then wholesale them worldwide to the public through eBay and Craigslist and by lining them up in Ft Ann. We have several other storage locations in the area, so be sure to check where a piece is located before you show up to see it. It could also be at my Old One Room Schoolhouse at the corner of Rt 149 and Bay Rd. in Lake George, NY. Always call and or write to make appointment. Some locations are secure and not manned. In addition, we sometimes represent inventory in all our stores, including Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New York. Everything that we sell on eBay is as-is, except if I noted differently above. Just ask. If you require shipping overseas, please check on the prices as best you can from your end before involving me to assist you in the quote. We have very aggressive FINANCING on items 10 years old or newer, as our company does a significant volume of retail business (over 100 million US dollars) with our banks. I will absolutely consider ANYTHING IN TRADE, AND I MEAN IT. Don't be shy. Just be realistic about the value. We will use all our resources to ensure our evaluation is fair, and our resources are extensive. We have been doing this for a lot of years and will put a real number on absolutely anything, i.e. cars, trucks, boats, RV's, bikes, ATV's, power sports, heavy equipment, inventories, tools, collectibles, antiques, livestock, real estate, planes, trains, ANYTHING! I am not an expert in all that, but I'll know someone who is. I handle the eBay sales of specialty pieces, trade-ins, overstocks, leftovers, repos, demos, etc. . . from the organization, and I will deal personally with you throughout the transaction. I am proud of our feedback rating, selling and shipping mostly big ticket motor vehicle / recreational type items worldwide, some over one million dollars. I would be glad to tell you about how two unhappy customers I have had ended up that way. Customer # 1 purchased a used Class A motor home for less than 4000 dollars and got mad when it thru a belt on his way back to Connecticut. I was sorry. Customer # 2 purchased a Class A motor home for under 5000 dollars, wanted to work on it before driving back to Florida in it, and then changed his oil in our yard without using a pan. Boy was I mad. I should have had him arrested. We all learned lessons each time. My pledge is to make every attempt to do the right thing. You do the same and we will have a great transaction. The name is Geof (Jeff) Hoffman, and my cell phone is 518-378-8058 Call anytime to discuss anything relevant, including offers, pre-negotiating, and trade appraising. I will work my schedule to fit yours. We are always open and appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
