The main headlight and horn assemblies are included in the sale. They are currently detached for safekeeping following a break-in and attempted theft in the barn where I found it.
Car has been on blocks since the early 1940s when the owner lost his leg. In 1970 his son inherited the car. The son got it running and painted it to exhibit in the state fair car show in 1971 but the paint didn’t dry on time so back on blocks it went until a couple years ago.
The car runs and drives.
I have its original Cadillac wheel covers, along with both the left and right spare wheels and their factory side-mount holders.
I have a video of it running, last started and drove it a short distance in April of last year. To get it started again I may need a stronger battery and some work to get fuel back into the duel Detroit carbs. I can’t work on it where it’s currently stored so has to be sold without demonstration.

I'm wondering what that color is. Hopefully not purple. If the miles are real at 30k and they might be it is a shame they painted it back in 71. The 32 is quite an improvement over the 30/31 with better carbs and mechanical fuel pumps. Although I see a vacuum tank? Maybe I'm thinking of the V16.

32 has a mechanical fuel pump. But I think just 1 as opposed to 2 on the 16. Your buddy @Edinmass would know.

So 219K all in after some mechanical and cosmetics? Still cool...

Sadly you are not wrong. But the seller says its running so maybe it will clean up as is? Can't tell paint color from the photos but dark blue would be fine. Purple not so much.

Steve, look at you negative Nancy! You need to make it usable without doing any paint/chrome/upholstery .Which is why the color is so important. I can't be purple. Otherwise I see something worth spending time on.

@alsancle a learned response from years of being influenced by someone on this forum..
Hope that is the route someone takes with this one..
I like the clubby a lot though and the 80s colors don't really bother me...
