Found : '32 Roadster Barn Find / Christmas Present

A friend sent this to me of the '32 Roadster he bought yesterday . Out in the country , an original metal car with a Cali ***le . Early SBC , '39 trans , '40 brakes , original front & rear end , a very nice present to himself ! The shed can be seen in the background..........Z.D.

 

looks like a barn find!

 

damb that is sweet i know where one is thats a old 40's channeled hot rod not that nice though great find

 

With all that "snow"...
would that be "Cali" Columbia?....

BTW,Nice find!

 

would of left it in the climate controlled barn and picked it up after the snow stopped

 

Was actually a covered shed next to the barn , outside for the last few years . Not a staged photo......

 

Barn find ?

 

Okay , it was a shed next to a barn . The paint looks better than it is , its not very good , probably at least 20 years old , no interior but it got a new top a few years ago.......A car in a barn or shed isn't always a pile of **** is it ?

 

z.diddy,
your friend just got himself a great xmas present. it would be good to more pics sometime.
thanks.

****in a ,now thats what ya call a christmas present

 

lucky guy! merry xmas!!

 

Merry Christmas to him...! Regardless of where he found it. They don't all have to be junkers, or total rebuilds just because they are in a barn. There's plenty of NICE barns around here, better than most garages.

yea built last year , and in a barn ever since.

 

I get this really weird feeling when I see something like that.......oh yeah.... envy !!!!

 

Somehow that car looks pretty familiar. Any idea of the history on it?
Nice "me to me" Christmas present for himself at any rate.

 

Looks like Lonnies car hauler who bought it?

 

I acquired a 1941 Packard 7 p***. sedan last summer that's a real barn find. I'd add some pictures of it coming out of the little barn but I don't know how to post them. - billiardrules ..... email me at billiardrules@hotmail.com if you want to see them or know how I can upload them here.

 

wish i could get a xmas present like that......richie...............

 

ho ho ho

 

And how do you convince yourself to wait 'for better weather' to move something like that after you've bought it? I couldn't have...I'd have moved it to my garage also.

 

In my experience, when some old codger decides he is actually going to sell one of these cars - you RACE over to the garage/shed/barn/tiki bar - whatever it is, and PAY THEM for it immediately, and get it OUT of there place as soon as possible, before they change their mind, or more importantly, someone else gets to them and offers more money than you are paying!

I'd haul that car out in the middle of a hurricane if it meant the difference between getting it, or not getting it.

 

Great score !

 

That barn-find must have been va***e-sealed!

 

That roadster is snow good , give me a call I'll take it off his hands


Seriously what a *****in photo of the opportunity of a lifetime , MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

Thats one clean barn!

 

thats lonnie truck, ill have to call him and get the scoop!!!!!!!

 

just talked with lonnie, its a real steel 32 roadster. he said he wished it looked as good in the pictures as it does up close, he said it needs a total resto, but for now he is going to fix the brakes and see if he can get it running, wow what a cool ride.

 

Even if it's only a good 20 footer, it's a great Christmas present, lucky SOB.

 

Picture perfect Christmas card

 

I love it, I would not do a thing except get it running
