Hot Rods Boys look what I bought today

I went to the NSRA show in Bakersfield and look what I found. A 32 roaster about 85% just need tlc. I will not have to change much.

 

Looks great............hows about some more details!!

 

Good lookin Roadster

 

whats the scoop on the plate..... ex a gas roadster ? old drag car , bonneville , ?

 

thats a 30-31, but still a nice score!!!

 

Its a '30/'31 Model A body??

 

Ummmm...sure looks like a 30/31 to me! Nice regardless.

 

hope he didnt pay 32 prices for that

 

Hope you didn't give him the 32 price....

 

Its a 3/4 flathead 40 3 speed, 352 gears in the RE body super straight. Pritty much old school. every thing work on it.

 

But it's gotta be a '32, it's got a 32 grille shell

 

The registration is 32 plus air vent under windshield. Its sitting on a 27 T truck frame

 

22 Gs.

 

Boys, Boys I'm telling you its a 32.....Don't be hating now

 

It's a Model A alright...At least it looks like one to me...just with a cowl vent added?
I thought someone had done weird, unspeakable things to a '32 frame, but now that explains that.
Looks cool, however...

 

De Nile is a river in egypt

nice A// I just hope you made the right deal on it

ahh just caught the price..22G's

 

Great Score, No Matter what......

 

If you bought that roadster under the illusion that it was a '32, you got stung......it is a '30-31 Model A body.......easy to tell by the ribbed rear wheel wells and no flares.......

Still a very nice car and if you paid $22 G's it's a great deal!

CB

 

The owner .....older gent was a old time saltflat racer with his model a gasser, not this car

 

Those where changed to accommodate the 27 T frame its sitting on

 

My guess is it's a tribute to an old fraternity that i was also apart of...Alpha Gamma Rho...hence EX AGR...i've got at least 4 friends who have the AGR on their own vanity plates~~~Just an idea?

 

Nice Score ,Congrats.

 

Nice buy. That's a nice car.

 

What about the door hinges, the firewall, the tank seam in the cowl, body lines, and the proportions?
I say A. Sorry...I like it though...

 

the only thing 32 i see on the car is the grille shell sorry

 

definitely a Model A - Windshield Posts, rear fender lip, ribs in fender wells, hinges etc.

saltflat racer with his model a gasser Huh?

 

Very nice roadster, drive the hell out of it and enjoy...

 

Very nice car. I dont think I would change a thing. Drive the wheels off it.

 

I agree its an A !!!!

 

Its a nice car no matter what year, it probably matters to you ifn' you bought it thinking its a 32 and "your in for the money" in later years.
although it will still bring nice coin, as you proved, its still not a 32.
damn sure not bashing, its beautiful and it looks to be priced fair to me.
drive piss out of it and have fun!
