1932 Ford five window coupe 41k mile, one family owned barn find

Did that car come from upstate N.Y.? That car was cherry! beautiful craftsmanship.

 

Here is the end result,was it a barn find ? not really more an older resto.
I never thought it hadnt had any work done over the years.
What I was looking for was a car that hadnt been molested so I could build the hotrod I wanted.
Here is what I ended up with.
59a 100thou up merc crank thickstun intake 97s Edelbrock heads 39 box 48 gearset ,stock rear with 3.54 gears .
Lincoln style brakes by MT 3 1/2 dropped axle .
I did minor repairs on the passenger fenders other than that the paint is the same ,just polished it again and again untill it came up.
I have about 3000 miles on it since I put it back on the road and am enjoying every one. cheers David

 

Nice work I dig it!

 

beautiful,nice suttle changes.drive on

 

The coupes turned out real nice Dave.

 

That's what I plan on doing to my '32 5 window. MIld rake with a dropped axle, 8BA with Fenton intake and 3 97's, Eddie Meyer heads, 39 tranny with Zephyr gears, and juice brakes. Your's is an inspiration. I really like the colour too.

 

Wow, leave it as is, far to nice.

 

So did the original poster sell this car on -Bay or not?
Wheeler and a Dealer.

Thats right I bought it of the original poster,I saw it on evilbay rang and did a deal,and you are correct he is a wheeler dealer,I have since seen a number of old Fords for sale by the same seller.David

 

Glad to see a nice unmolested coupe end up in the land of Oz. You are one lucky guy.

 

You did a great job bringing that paint back. I thought it had been painted.

Is that a Juliano's steering wheel? It looks almost like the same one we're putting on our car.

I haven't put that many miles on my 33 in the past twenty years... Its nice to see cars driven and enjoyed...

 

After reading the entire thread for the first time, after all the highs and lows, it's great to see such a wonderful ending.
Your car looks incredible! Exactly how I envisioned it. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

 

original 39 with plated horn

 

Looks great, you did good! Amazing what you can do without cutting up anything.

I chimed in early on about what I would do, looks like you were listening...

 

Hero status! Took an old, tired, resto and turned it into a VERY tasteful hot rod without damaging its heritage.

Reminds me of my post way back.... #51?

A treasure! Had the same in '58 when I was 14. Sold it for 80 dollars! Yours is in better shape!

 

Beautiful, love that green, glad you acquired it David!

 

l was lucky enough to see it in the flesh at Croydon swap meet and then at T.C.R open day last year.
l couldn't get enough of it.
lt's a credit to you.





Regards Dave.

 

Awesome!

 

How nice is that! I still want it!

 

Wow! Looks great!

 

Fantastic, congrats.

 

After all the above BS the car ended up being perfect and went to the right owner. Congratulations!

 

Well !
I see it in a Garage, So I guess you did'nt have to sell the House to get IT.

Purely Fine Find. Congrates

(Don't wash it !)

 

Well said! I couldn't have imagined it turning out any better. The car most certainly found an appropriate caretaker, and I for one am grateful to see it so well loved.
