Default The Barn find. 1934 Chevrolet

So over the weekend, I was at a family reunion outside of Richmond, Va, and I was talking to my uncle about the old Chevy he used to have. To my surprise, he said it was over in the shed there.

My uncle is 85 YOA, and it was his father's car bought new in 1934. He and his son ( my 45 year old cousin) did some restoration 25 years ago to it, but its been sitting either outside or in the barn since.

My cousin asked me if I wanted it, and I said for sure............then he changed the subject. When my son heard it was in the barn, he ran over to it. Its a 4 cylinder, 6 volt system with a crank handle that needs a full restoration.

There was to many spider webs and wasps flying around to get better pictures.

What would a good price offer be.

The paint is original. The interior has been repaired. The motor is original but the carburetor has been rebuilt. that's about it.

I love the suicide doors. I was about to open the door and look inside and that's when I noticed the wasps at nose level.
