Projects Another Old Car in a Barn Story

A buddy of mine who owns one of the nicest all steel 32 Ford roadsters with a blown fattie as well as a chopped all steel 5-W sent me these photos of his latest find. Been in a damp barn since 1963, the roof was caving down around it. He had a bitch of a time getting it out. What are the chances of it being an all steel 5-W old Hot Rod. This is as good as winning a Lottery. More info to follow. By the way he put on the wheels to roll it out.

 

holy sheet !too cool !!

 

its pretty obvious he didnt 'roll' it out, it was Dragged with locked up brakes

 

And you were there I suppose!!!!!

 

nice find!! could of been a reverse burnout!

 

I think he's referring to what appears to be wheel drag marks in the first pic.

 

That's unreal nice find

 

GOD DAMN! i wish i was that lucky......

 

that is an awesome find indeed!! would love to know the history on that one, hell, opening up the motor would be like Christmas, I wonder what goodies and tricks have been done to it.
beautiful piece of hot rodding history right there.

 

Awesome. Many rodders dream to find a car like that. I passed on a couple like this when I was young and stupid. Hope he gets it back on the road.

 

Damn hotrodders who would put all that fancy aluminum on an old sidevalve! Nice find and more pics please.

 

Very friggin' cool !

 

Oh man, now that is cool....
Good for you on that find!!
Cheers...........

 

Great! Now I know that I'm missing some in Ontario too.

 

Holy crap! That's just a freakin awesome find!

 

Thanks for sharing

 

Thats amazing!

 

I was thinkin' the same thing .

Great find regardless !

 

I like the Isky sticker on the oil filter, kinda like a teaser for whats inside the motor. A great find for sure and who gives a rats ass if it rolled or was dragged?

 

Great find! Is someone keeping track of the number of '32 Ford Barn Finds that get posted here? It has to be a 2 per month rate I think.

 

I'm still searching for the great 32 in the barn find. I just have a feeling one will turn up.

 

Cool to find one with speed parts already on it.

 

outstanding find, maybe he drove it out

 

wow,great find

 

Damn! I mean......DAMN!!!

 

dont tell me he found it east of toronto great find

 

Not, that it makes a difference but the driveway with the skid marks it not where the car was located, but at its new home . I am trying to get more pics soon.

 

Wow! What to do, what to do - do you restore/build it back to somebody elses' hot rod or have at it and do it your way?
Are those sp2 tops under the fishmouths?

 

I am pretty sure it was in the Bowmanville area. Yes I do believe they are still out there.

 

The new owner says it is a DUCOIL Dist.

Further information, it also came with a full hood,the engine is a full race 48 Ford, 40 Ford transmission with get this a column shift, also has a 34 Ford rear end and of course juice brakes.
More pics are coming. Larry
