Hot Rods Looking for info on this 32

Sometime back. I saw a story where this car was re-discovered. Been wondering ever since if it got restored to it's former glory. Does anyone here know?

 

Paging all HAMB detectives to the front desk. All HAMB detectives to the front desk.

 

Was it parked immediately after the first shot? The as found pic looks like it's still wearing the same tires.

 

Here ya go;

Champion barn find: Long-lost ’32 Ford was drag-racing star

 

Kind of a sad story. It Could be restored back to it's original Ciass A B state, at least in the looks department.

 

Those are some serious fuel lines!

 

Must have sat outside for a long time to get that rusty.

 

In the sub story states
Out side under tarp several years .
Before moved into barn .

 

After reading that, I'm not sure if I am glad or sad. Part of me is glad... but, part is also sad that this beauty will never run again. Know what I mean?

 

I hear you. Well, the link that I posted was from 2012, and maybe the story doesn't end there. I found that the car sold at a Mecum auction in May of 2017 at Indy ($42,900). Who has it now? Maybe it will run again? Let's keep looking!

 

Also found a previous thread on this car, from 2012;

Some pics from the 2017 auction, because we all like pics.
