Up for sale by a private party is this restored to original condition 1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe in black lacquer paint. The car was restored approximately 30 years ago and has logged about 13,000 miles over the past 19 years with its current owner. Since the restoration the car has been garage kept and only driven to shows and special events.

NO TRADES

PLEASE NOTE….ALL BIDS AND OFFERS MADE ON THIS VEHICLE WILL FOLLOW EBAY’S PROTOCOL OF PURCHASING. THIS MEANS THAT ONCE THE BID OR OFFER IS MADE OR ACCEPTED THE BUYER AGREES TO PURCHASE THE CAR IN “AS IS” CONDITION.

The body of this 1940 is all steel with only some minor bodywork in the quarter panels behind each door. All the floors and inner fender wells look original and solid. The 30 y.o. lacquer paint is starting to show some age, but it still looks good. Please look at all photos and the video carefully.

Power comes from the original 216 cu. in. in-line 6 cylinder rated at 85 horsepower and it is backed by the matching 3-speed manual synchromesh transmission which no longer has the "Vacuum Assist" feature. The charging system remains 6-volt. The starter button is still located on the floor with a ‘throttle’ and ‘choke’ on the dashboard.

The interior was redone in the original cloth style and shows little to no wear without any broken seams or tears. All the original gauges function including the heat and clock. The radio is a 1946 unit and does not work.

It appears the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, were all done when the car was restored, and it starts easily and rides like a 1940 Chevrolet. No power steering or power brakes.

All the glass is in very good condition without any bubbling or “milk haze” showing. Exterior chrome is good and the spotlight as well as the fog lights work.

Recent work performed by the current owner includes the installation of a stainless-steel gas tank and sending unit, stainless-steel exhaust system, new front end bushings, LED taillights (which can be returned to the original with the included housing and bulbs), a relay for the front headlights to make them brighter, and 16” Diamond radial tires.

The only known issue is the transmission which does have a minor leak. It does not affect the shifting or drivability of the car but needs to be monitored periodically.

Owner selling for personal reasons.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale. 

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period.  Approximately 12 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage.  These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
