    A buddy bought a house and said the owner had an old coupe stored in the garage and wanted to sell it so we went to look at it today.

    I was hoping for an old patina`d body to hotrod but what we found was way too nice to change. We`re trying to agree on a price but it`s not cheap even if he accepts my offer. Changes from stock are juice brakes and 12 volt system/alternator. Fired right up. Supposedly sat in a museum for many years.What do you think this baby`s worth?

    Take a look...

    Looks, from the pictures, like a solid $60,000.00 '32 5W. That's if it's as good as the photos.

    Are those trim rings on the 18" wheels? I didn't think Henry ever made them....do you know any more about them?

    It`s as nice as it looks. The interior is moth eaten somewhat but the body and trim are perfect. Two tone green w/black fenders and silver pinstripes.
    The problem is it isn`t what I wanted. I wanted a driver like my Model A coupe.
    The price is below what the car is worth but I hate to wrap up the money in something I don`t really want unless I modify it to suit. I`m not talking big mods, just dropped suspension and traditional steelies/caps and drive it. And I don`t think it`s fair to buy and resell.

    I`m not sure if I can walk away....and my wife says buy it.

    He was so proud of those trim rings. Said he had never seen another set.

    Buy it and just drop the front down a few inches and run some steelies. Keep everything in case you want to selling later.

    I say go for it. You can always drive it as you change up some things. You at least know you could get you money back later if wanted.

    You'll be kicking yourself in the ass if you don't buy it!
    How many 32's in this shape are left to stumble across? You may never see another this nice. It's a 32- it's an investment.
    Listen to the wife- she's obviously smarter than you. Buy it!

    I guess I can blame her if we`re stuck with it for years, huh?
    There goes my L`ville swap money.

    I`ll call the guy tomorrow and go drive it and see what other parts come with it. He had several boxes of stuff saved for it.

    All I really wanted was a steel hotrod coupe. I`ll just have to keep the Model A too.

    They look like 16" wheels. But there are 18" trim rings out there but Henry didn't make them.
