My find of a lifetime...rust free '32 5 window!!!

WOW!! way to go! one day this will happen to me too...right? haha. great find!

 

If you are collecting opinions, leave it alone, or do a total restoration of what it would have looked like when the former owner built it. That is a time capsule, a VERY nice one. Bob

 

few more...

 

too cool....congrats

 

i was scouring craigslist the other day and 32 ford popped up for a brief second , when i clicked on it it was removed already ! did you find it on craigslist ?

 

nice find. i have always wanted a '32 5 window

 

Awesome find! Nice to know there are still some oit there

 

The body absolutely will not be touched... She's made it this far without being cut or drastically altered & I think she oozes cool just the way she is. Having said that I had planned on lowering it & driving it as a highboy, but after seeing her in person I am reconsidering that as well.
One day she will be dis***embled & rebuilt the way she deserves...but not anytime soon. As she sits, she is in my mind the definition of a survivor. I plan on leaving the 3 speed in it & the banjo (although it is an early '32 rear). The K-member is perfect, as is the entire frame...with the exception of some welding on the front crossmember & the addition of 2 plates for mounting the small block. Think that the ****** & rear will handle a mild small block ok?

 

Wow! Congrats! I dontthink I'd be able to stop smiling

 

My wife snapped this cool picture...

 

Cool find, must have spent most of it's life in a garage. Another vote for a 265!

 

A few more...sorry if I double post any, I am still a little light headed...

 

It has been in dry storage, unmoved since 1960. A rac**** destroyed the interior at some point...

 

Great score. Why on earth would anybody put a divider in the windshield?

 

Hot damn....nice score, CONGRATS! and welcome to the 5 window club....get that thing safe and on the road....that dash is ***s!.........

 

Like my parents used to tell me when I got a new toy when I was a little kid....."Go to bed it will be there in the morning!" lol.

 

It gives it a 1932 Chrysler look, not bad, and easy to remove I think.

 

That is a '35 or '36 Ford dash. The gauges look like '49 Merc. Lots of other neat add on stuff there too. Is that a tach on the column? More dash pics please.... And personally I think an SBC is a lame idea...

 

What was that Dennis Weaver movie called with the oil tanker following him?

 

Yippee.. Good for you

 

Wow! I am glad to hear that you are gonna run the body as is for now- it looks killer. You are one lucky man!

 

I somewhat agree with you...I have some feelers out for a flathead & think the drive train is alot better suited for it. That being said, it's not really my idea...it did last have a sbc in it...

 

What a great score. You don't see too many 5-windows with vent windows in the doors..

 

I'll post some more detail pics tomorrow...In the meantime, can anyone identify the ******? Thanks for all the support guys!!!
Sam

 

Ohhh Man!!

 

This one won't have them much longer...

 

awesome find,has some pretty nice fenders on it

 

Didn't mean to sound discouraging.... that car is amazing. Sounds like its in good hands.

 

Cool car!
A 265 is not an SBC, back then it was just a Chevy!
