1937 Cord 812SC Sportsman Convertible Coupe
190hp 269 cu. in. L-head V8 with centrifugal supercharger, front-wheel drive, four-speed preselector transmission, front and rear semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. Wheelbase: 125"
The outstanding Supercharged Sportsman offered here underwent a complete and comprehensive ground-up restoration in the mid1980s. When restored the car was simply gorgeous and received its Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club Level 1 Certification as a correct and original Cord Automobile. The vendor reports that the certificate, along with any other related documentation will accompany the car in its sale.
In the late 1980s the car was sold to a Japanese collector who subsequently exported the Cord where it remained part of an important overseas collection. It was brought back to the United States in January of 2005 and was subsequently acquired by the current owner. An additional previous owner also includes collector Mr. George B. Ehresman, under whose ownership the Cord received its ACD paperwork.
Finished in black and fitted with a matching black leather interior, the car when restored was also equipped with an exact copy of a Cord Sportsman rumble seat, as fitted to car number 102. While this Cord was restored some 20 years now, it is still an impressive example car that looks quite fresh – a testament to the quality of the restoration. As an addition to any collection this, the most desirable of Cords, should prove to be a sound investment as they have continued to incrementally appreciate over the last several years.
Please note that the original VIN number of this car was 32379F. More than 30 years ago, a transposition error was made that resulted in the car being numbered and titled as 23379F, and it has carried this identification ever since. The car is ACD certified, and this error is noted in the certification paperwork, copies of which are available for inspection in the auction office. Additionally, please note that the engine number listed in the catalog is in error and should read FC2640. The body number is C92 208.
