advise will be appreciated

I do not see any attachments to approve.

What is the size of your each file you are attempting to attach?

I have been investigating a certain vehicle at Gateway Classics. The biggest No-No has been it was OVER PRICED. I am pasting some additional info about the vehicle and am hoping some of y'all will indicate if the info adds anything to maybe make an offer; of course not what they are asking but maybe it would increase what someone might offer?

Important notes — 1938 Chevy Master Sedan
Engine Oil & Filter change — 5/22/2024 changed @ Mileage 7397 miles.
The Engine Oil is Havoline IOW40. I add I small amount of ZZP additive. The Oil filter is WIX # 51794. This filter holds 1 h Quarts of oil which gives the engine a little extra protection with 5 h quart oil capacity when to the top of the full line on the dipstick.
The 355 C.I. engine has 3 cooling fans. The primary fan is engine belt driven. The 2 auxiliary fans in front of the radiator are electric. These fans CAN BE easily wired to control engine temperature on & off. The wiring is all there and then the on/off temperature would then be automatic and adjustable. The on/off adjustment for these fans is a potentiometer located inside the engine compartment on the passenger side near the top right of the radiator housing & just beside the chrome radiator overflow tube tank. All the wiring is there, but presently wired on manual switch as per previous owners preference. Presently the fans are wired to be MANUALLY controlled by the Middle Rocker Switch of 3 switches located on the Left side of the steering column. It has a Blue color LED indicator light when switch & fan is on. When running the AC the engine will generate more heat & I recommend keeping an eye on the engine temperature gauge for any temperature rise higher than 195 degrees by the gauge, especially in heavy traffic, in town, or in a parade, I go ahead & turn on the auxiliary fans as a precaution to protect against any potential overheating problem.
The engine Temperature Gauge always shows approximately 20 degrees HOTTER than the actual engine temperature is. For example, 190 degrees showing on the temperature gauge is actually approximately 170 degrees inside the radiator. The engine 165 degree thermostat was installed new March 2022.
The 3 Rocker Switches located to the left of the steering column are the GREEN indicator light for the LED Running Lights inside headlights & the Multi-Colored LED lights behind the front grille. The BLUE indicator is for the Electric Auxiliary cooling fans. The RED indicator light is for All other Multi-Colored undercarriage Lights.
