What the original poster is talking about , is a 1933 chevrolet master series right hand drive touring/phaeton. Its sitting in a garage/barn and covered in dust . The car was last titled with license plates from UROGUAY in south america. Car was probably ( ? ) assemembled on the GM assembly line in Argentina , firewall build plate will say.

Those are lousy pictures and the seller really needs to get car outside , wash it and take detailed pictures if they expect somebody to bid at the $17,500 opening bid. I guess they are going for the BARN FIND look. Seller is claiming one of 543 built ?

looking at the rear quarter panels of the body, they are the same as usa stampings.....auzzie holden built do not have that curved body line.

Easy to find on ebay USA, just type in 1933 chevrolet convertable

I exchanged an email with the buyer and that price is not his reserve as he is looking for a bit more. The figure of 543 is correct for the total production run of Phaetons in 1933 for the Master line. With six wheels, the proudction run dropped to only 12. I am fortunate to be working on another one of the twelve here in NJ (car was always from NJ). The ebay listing does need major work as you can see the significant rot on the front edge of the fender alone......

The restored one that was on ebay is still for sale privately and the owner is not going to take less than $57 for it. It was also a poor restoration done with many incorrect parts, many many years ago. A properly restored model a few years ago with six wheels was worth around $70k from what I've seen.

Hope that helps.

ok
