    True “Barn-Finds” Pierce-Arrows

    2 still in their original garage in California

    & 1 in my garage in Illinois

    These cars have been locked up in an Oakland, CA garage since 1961

    and were last licensed in the early 60’s

    CA cars originally, they have been spared the usual degredation of Midwest winters

    but still have the textured patina of true “barn-finds”

    The wood & metal remain amazingly solid, the interiors…not so much.

    The previous owner was an engineer for Shell Oil and a true lover & collector of Pierce-Arrows

    He worked in California for many years, then

    was transferred to St Louis, MO , where he continued his Pierce passions but

    For some reason, he never had these cars relocated to St Louis.

    He did however remove parts from the cars and bring them home to St Louis.

    One must be surrounded by Pierce parts, when you are a Pierce purist

    He has passed away & I am now the caretaker of this amazing collection.

    I have purchased this man’s entire collection of cars & parts,

    & I am making available for sale these 3 Pierce-Arrows at a very low price to allow someone

    the opportunity to enter the prestigious Pierce-Arrow community at entry level

    Bargain prices that will allow the new owner to invest in the car’s restoration

    These are Full Classics and great cars ready for a home

    I have been approached by others to buy the cars with the intention of “parting them out” for profit

    But I believe that they are restorable

    & that most of the missing parts are among my St Louis “cache”.

    I would like to see these cars get back on the roads of America

    and will facilitate getting all the correct parts back to the right car

    ……to make sure you have “All The Right Stuff”

    Car #1

    1932 Pierce-Arrow Club Brougham

    This is the nicest of the cars and was actually kept inside a heated garage in St Louis.

    This car has a nice older restoration in a medium blue gray over black fenders.

    It has a nice broadcloth whipcord interior with fron bucket seats.

    It has the Pierce 8 Nine Main engine

    20 years ago, the owner started to replace the head gasket

    & water jacket gaskets, then stopped after removing these parts

    It comes with the new gaskets & water jacket cover

    This car could be made to run in 3 days

    It is a lovely car with one of the prettiest body styles ever built…..24,000

    Car #2

    1932 Pierce-Arrow 5 passenger sedan “Barn-Find”

    Wood appears to be solid and the car is complete with the parts from the St Louis “cache”

    Engine had had parts removed and the interior is distressed

    Has dual side mounts.

    Doors hang well-solid metal

    Beautiful dash………………..$12,000

    Car #3

    1934 Pierce-Arrow 836A

    This car has decent original paint & appears to be a very solid car

    It has dual sidemounts

    The interior is severely distressed…………..$6,000

    Photos & serial number information are available upon request

    It’s not often cars like this come up for sale.

    Good to hear that you want to see these cars on the road and you’re going to facilitate the new owner(s) getting them there. It would be a shame to see the cars taken apart instead of being out on the road where they belong.

    Good luck with sale.
