Seller's notes: "This car hasn't seen the road since 1975, and is NOT RUNNING or DRIVING. It is complete and all original. Never restored or molested. It is missing the air cleaner and a battery. It needs tires but they hold air and are just rollers. It has a banana sized paint chip on the passenger side rear quarter panel as noted in the photo. The undercarriage has surface rust and a couple areas of rot but nothing that can't be fixed easily and is very solid. The interior is complete but needs attention. The exterior chrome and stainless are in great condition and all complete."

Up for NO RESERVE auction is this black 1949 Desoto Custom 4 Door Sedan. This car is all original and has been stored indoors since 1975. Recently found. we decided to just list it like it is. 1975 dirt and all. With that being said. the car is NOT RUNNING OR DRIVING. Not sure what it would take to get it running. It is missing the air cleaner and a battery. Equipped with a 236 cubic inch inline flathead 6 cylinder motor with a Carter single barrel carburetor matted to a 3 speed transmission with a column shift. This car has beige interior that needs attention and has wood laminate door panels and dashboard with plaid fabric accents on the door panels. AM radio and adjustable front bench seat. The rear seat ashtray still has the original pull out leather backed vanity mirror. The exterior is in great condition with no body damage or signs of previous repairs. The windshield sunvisor is complete and intact. All of the chrome and stainless are complete and in excellent shape with no pitting. The passenger side rear quarter panel has a banana sized paint chip as noted in the photo. The driver side window has a crack from top to bottom. The undercarriage has surface rust and a couple of small rotted areas but nothing major that can't be repaired. All of the doors operate and seal properly. The trunk is also complete with the original white wall spare tire and original bumper jack. We have no documents on this car other than a clear title. This is a solid car that is a perfect candidate for a beautiful restoration. Happy Bidding!

Is this car still available? Is the $2235 the selling price? Will the motor turn over? And, about how much would it cost to ship the car to Bristol, VA?

Thank you!!
