Been there done that. It was a 100 pt drop dead gorgeous triple black car. One MAJOR problem with these cars, so buyers beware. \r\n\r\nThe shifting of gears on these cars is done by electronic actuators, not by direct stick shift to the transmission and it\u2019s not an automatic (those came way later). It\u2019s a pre-selection set up where you put it in 1st and let the clutch out and add gas as you normally do. To shift into 2nd and so on, you put the selector on the steering column to the next gear, then put your foot into the clutch and out. Downshifting works the same way but it\u2019s a grinding affair. So far, so good. \r\n\r\nNow the bad part, unless your 87 year old contacts associated with the electronic preselector remote system located in front just behind the front of the car are not perfectly clean and making good contact, or if enough amps or bolts of the 6 volts system are all not pristine, you will hate this driving experience to the Nth degree. I drove mine about 500 miles over 18 months and could not get rid of it fast enough. 10 trips to my mechanic did not make it any better. It would work for 25 or 30 miles and then I would be stuck in one of the gears unable to shift. Again, this was a stunning nut and bolt restoration performed over seven years by a marque specialist. It won seven ACD awards. It won Best in Class and Best in Show three years in a row at the annual ACD festival in Auburn Indiana. It won numerous other concourses. I am guessing the restorer and marque specialist I bought it from just kept it in 1st because that is the only way he would have been able to make it up the podium ramp and back to his slot. \r\n\r\nThis all occurred back in 2007.

Upon reflection and after a look into the level of detail that goes into the certification process, I've changed my original take. Ask yourself, who among us is qualified to know the subtle ins and outs of this now 87 year old car? It's not like it's 1947 and when many folks knew these details. This information needs to be learned and passed down or it will be lost. The folks that take on this labor of love have two goals, one is to learn these many details and the other goal is to replace themselves with another younger Cord fan to carry on the work. The ACD Club dues and the certification fees facilitate that important work. I encourage non owners to join the ACD to support this effort.

There are many that have been retrofitted (which is OK) but this is the pure real deal.\r\n\r\nGiven the driving videos, not sure what \"servicing before regular use\" is needed. If it's sat, I would certainly make sure the fuel system is not gummed up and that if it's running an electric fuel pump (good move to try to cut down on vapor lock) that the innards of that pump are compatible with ethanol blend. (I try to avoid ethanol and run the good stuff if at all possible.) Also, probably change the gear oil in the tranny, and look at the (hopefully magnetic) drain plug to see how much of the inevitable gear bits are there. Change out the coolant, make sure brake fluid fresh enough, change oil (use high zinc, I use Classic Car Motor Oil which is 15W-40 and has been great). Check the hubs of the wheels for bad cracks.\r\n\r\nTHEN...\r\n\r\nStart adding to those 20 miles!\r\n\r\nI do not agree with Auburn Speedster's pessimism.

We then had an Indiana State Police escort up I-69 to Auburn for the Labor Day reunion. Cars came from as far away as Oregon and CA. The ONLY Cord that had trouble was one with a non-original drivetrain! (Also, we weren't happy with ISP holding our convoy speed down to about 50-55--these cars are most content at 65 - 70).\r\n\r\nA Cord is a lifestyle choice, requires common sense and knowledge about how to drive it, but you should not be afraid of it. Learn your car's choke preferences thru temperature ranges, I recommend preselecting the shift and taking your time clutching and do so precisely, and you should be fine.\r\n\r\nPLUS on the tranny there are many detailed and authoritative manuals and tip sheets. \r\n\r\nIf your ambition is to have a good Cord, this seems to be one of the better ones I've seen for sale lately.\r\n\r\nAs to the comments on colors of this one, they look fine to me.

Perhaps in todays day and age of bluetooth technology, somebody can figure out a solution for the electronic actuators. There is no \"automatic \" non-stick shift alternative with the FWD.

A few comments if I may. I viewed some of the video, and the ONE important thing I did not see was a shot of the most important gauge, the temp! Driving in 100F+ weather the temp gauge should be the guide to giving up and going home. In city driving, the Cord will not maintain a safe temp with 100F outside temps. The fluid volume, and exchange rate just isn't enough to protect the heads from warping. Which brings up mention number two. I don't see this car having Cain heads. This would be my first order of business(if a pair can be found) for any car in the South US region. Next up, none of the experts seem to have mentioned the bumper over-rider position? I believe in front the teeth point down? Or was it the rear? One of the ends should have the teeth down, but not sure which end. A Cord 810/12 should always be driven a full low speed orbit both left and right to check for clicking in the Rzeppa joint. Missing windscreen crank handles, but the knurled shafts are present. I think the mud-guards are behind the front fenders, but it's not real clear. The stance is a bit off in front. The spring leafs should be taken off, and re-arced and tempered, another modest weak point of the design, all the weight over that spring. I believe factory arc was 2.5 to 3.3deg resting with no payload. This spring has near zero arc. Nothing to take away from a fantastic car that would be the centerpiece in any vintage collection.

As for shifting issues, many can be traced back to the current going through the ignition switch prior to the pre-selector. It's a 6V system, so there's a lot of current flowing during shifts. Any voltage drop at the ignition B+ wire, and in the contacts then to the solenoids will cause havoc on all shifts.
