Because it's fun and it gets your attention. After all, this is Las Vegas. What more could you expect?
Let's be clear, the models pictured with the vehicles are paid for the express purpose of showing off and presenting the vehicles.
They are not included with the sale of the vehicles or available to go with them at any point during the presentation online.
But included with this sale, the winning bidder that does complete thetransactionwill receive all digital photographs of the vehicle and the models if they want them.
Before you send me that awful question, "what's your reserve or bottom line", let's take a moment to explain market values and how to get a deal on eBay. There isn't any "Book Value" from the Kelly Blue Book or NADA Guide on a car like this. Figures both selling and buying for cars like this are subjective in nature and the only number that counts, if you are the seller, is the one from a serious buyer that makes you an offer. Over 29 years in thebusiness, dealers like myself, buy and sell by looking at what it must have taken to build a car like this and take a rough guess as to what someone might buy it for. Do I have an asking price, sure if you want to hear me shoot at the moon, but that number will have nothing to do with what you may offer whether that's higher or lower. That is why we sell exclusively on eBay and at other reputable auctions. The numbers or offers come from the buyers that are serious and just like me, make their own minds up as to what they are willing to spend. We arehere to sell cars. With fourteen yearsexclusivelyon eBay and perfect feedback, it's obvious we do.
Real buyers with serious offers in mind, always call us. They almost always want to talk to the person in charge; that's me. I want to talk to you too and help you own this awesome vehicle. It keeps me in business. So, if you want a fantastic vehicle like you see here, one that is far above the average in condition, serviced and documented like this, simply call. Asking through email for my bottom line? Well, I just think you're not too serious or willing to make an offer; makes it a waste of my time and yours. If you just want to know what the market value is, do what we do, look atthe car closely and the build and note that it would cost about $125,000 to build a car of this quality. If you want to build one from scratch, it'll easily cost you that and about four to five years in time, or make a fair offer for one already built and save a chunk of change and time. Most important though, since you "are" a serious and capable buyer, call me and let's talk. I don't wear a Plaid Coat, I don't talk really fast and I am the guy in charge, the owner, enthusiast and purveyor of some of the finest cars on the internet...not to mention the best thorough presentations.
Where do I even start? OK, focus on what I am writing for now, then you can get back to the fine photography. First, if you ever listened to ZZ Top's music you already know what this car is... a 33 Ford 3-Window Pinched Nose Coupe, one of the most recognized street rods of all time. From original steel body coupes to the fully modified fiberglass bodied coupes like this one, they really have no equal. Timeless, Ageless and sought out just as hard today and they were decades ago. From Rat-Rod builds to fully stretched and modified modern version builds, these epic coupes have seen almost every designers rendering and been found on countless forms of artwork, movies and music videos. Why? Because they evoke raw emotions in pretty much everyone with an automotive love. That's why you are looking at it right now. Either to just see the cool pictures, the models or...what I hope...you're the serious buyer trying to hunt down the perfect score of exactly what you have been looking for. If you have read this far...and not just one of those guys that stares at pictures...you are that serious buyer...so that is who I hope to speak to. I will do the best I can to give you all the information I have and that which I have researched about this car so you can make an intellingent choice...either for this car or any other for that matter...just want to tell you all I can about this thrilling Street Rod that will make you happy if you get to own it.
When I bought the car, the owner had it for about two years, another classic car dealer/broker that bought it for himself and his wife. The loved the car but as all of us dealers do, we can't keep them all...but some we sure like better than others and keep them a while. He bought it from the builder who claimed it to be over a six figure build and when you look closely at the details, you can see why he claimed it. I always feel bad for the guys that build custom cars from scratch...they really spend way more than they planned but they don't give up until they are done...then they sell them...WOW. You become the beneficiary of somebody's time and money...a lot of both and get to enjoy it from day one. And enjoy this 33 Coupe you will...from day one. It needs nothing. Just over 1300 miles on this build and it runs perfect, drives perfect and everything functions perfectly. So it will just become a matter of whether you like what you see...not anything about what you need to do because you won't need to. Walk up to the car, remote unlock either suicide door, get in, seatbelt up...mentally note that the spacious interior is unmatched with the stretched bodied fiberglass coupe and tall guys need not shy away...flip the ignition and adjust the flame billet steering wheel and...BURNOUT...ok...look before you burnout. Then tear off like a jack rabbit...this street-rod has balls.

The first thing you'll notice about this beauty is her STANCE.... Yes, perfectly posed to give the onlooker that understanding that this street-rod is more than just a jalopy ride. When I came upon the opportunity to buy this car, I had to contend with an owner that really loved this car and didn't really want to sell it to just anyone. I hear that a lot and when the cash flys out of the pocket, it's just a matter of what number it takes to make a deal. When I do my research on a car, I always take into mind first and foremost the quality of the build, especially fiberglass bodied cars and the compenents the builders use. Does it feel cheap? Does it look cheap? Does it drive cheap? Did they shortcut at every turn. Well as you will be able to see this car even better than I did the day I bought it, you will view every inch of this car in high resolution detail and see everything top to bottom. No punched pulled, I stand by my disclosure and I will assure the winner of this car, you will be thrilled with the defining quality. The entire vehicle shows quality and top level components everywhere you look. The only thing a buyer may wan to invest in would be a real hig fidility sound system. The one in the car works fine for two speakers and a standard JVC deck...but if you are a buyer that likes to rattle the doors and windows...you'll need to think of another sound system. Aside from that, this car is sweet. Very little wear or blemishes can even be seen. I took photos of some of the tiny chips but overall you will have to look real hard to find them. The paint is a show quality finish with perfect luster, shine and depth. No real tactile feel on the painted flames that are beautifully ghosted to the back of the car. The undercarriage is a show as well. So Enjoy the View...beg your significant other to let you stare at the car even though the girls are there. The girl pictures are only 5% of the of presentation...just to make the view fun...mostly for me.
Satisfied won't even describe my joy with this car!
Full On Ecstatic like a kid in the candy shop may be too soft.
And that is exactly how you will feel too. Satisfied and proud to own this spectacular 33 Ford Street Rod.
Read, view and pour over hundreds of pictures. We don't hide anything and we have years of satisfied clients as you can see in our feedback. This is not an average build, it is a high quality, super high end pro-touring/street-rod road ready 1933 ford 3-Window Street Rod. The quality of this build can be seen up close and appreciated and we show that in our pictures, details and disclosure so you can feel confident in making an offer that can buy this car. If you want this car like I did when I saw it, then make it rain $100s and watch how excited I get to see you win and own this car. That is what I am about. People ask me all the time, "have you ever wanted to keep one?" Of course I have, like this one, but I love selling dreams and seeing people reach them. I get them, drive them, show them, meet great new friends with them and get to have all the beautiful models pose with them for a permanent record of my fabulous collection of thousands of cars over the last 14 years. You get to do the same if you want...or just sit there and wait until someone else calls me and makes an offer that buys your dream. Nah! Pick up the phone to make your deal with me, you won't get figures any other way unless you bid and hit the reserve. Good Luck and talk to you soon.
A note from the owner.
I am a "used car dealer" but before that, I'm an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I've been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won't do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.
With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a "dealership" like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly "right" will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I've developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I've converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.
Usually, I'll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it's a fast car, we film it going fast. If it's a 4x4 you'll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many "dealers" will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do.
No "dealer, "? on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.
If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you'll find me the most accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or "what is my bottom line" I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find - a number we both know will not buy the car so, don't waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a "used car dealer.â€
Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number.

NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if they posted nonsense. But they only account for averages around the nation. If this car is less than or better than average, bid or offer accordingly.
