Perfect.......a HAMBer needs this 32.....

I love it.......but alas.....I cannot afford it.....



The only thing this coupe needs is my name on the ***le......

Flattie, OD, and Kelsey Hayes......I am in LOVE.....

I agree, PEERRRRFECT.

Doc.

 

Sell that "street rod" ch***is & start over. You could have a clone in the garage in no time.

Wow! It just needs a few nasty repro warts swapped...
I wanna see the trans arrangement...it says '49 type Ford. How did they get that floor shifted and hooked up to the tube?? I'm betting it's actually a Lincoln OD adapted somehow to early Ford case...but whatever it is, I'd like to eyeball the installation.

 

That 3-window sure would look good in my shop beside my mor-door. HRP

 

It probably does not bang, rattel or shake when you drive it. I would not know what to listen for to make sure it's running right.

 

beautiful....im in awww.

 

I'm in awe too, last I looked bid was $65K and had not met reserve. Seems a little rich for my blood.

 

My dad is the high bidder right now, but knows that it will go through the roof before it ends. Besides, he already has a 3-Window- the one Rudy is working on in the new R&C. I know he would love to have that car though.

 

Bruce, I've read in several '50s little books about swapping a '49 tailshaft onto a '39 trans in order to gain open drive (often paired back then with a shoebox rear end). Is it possible they used this method to gain the OD? I don't know about the torque tube adaptation, though.

Great car, thanks for sharing.

 

...I'm watchin' this one also, Randy...mega$$$...

 

Correct phrase is "to lose proper suspension geometry..."
'49 type trans is a close relative to early Ford, but I don't think close enough to adapt to floor case...I think it might well fit a Lincold OD, but don't know...
Neal in California has discovered rear part of Lincoln case differs from Ford non-OD case...All Lincoln OD's are side shift...scarce and expensive, a double whammy on price since they contain 25 or 26 tooth gears...I wanna know what gives under that coupe.

 

I am watching it too........ But that's all.....just watching......
I need to build another garage.....and then I will be like the little boy who found 5 dollars.......he had no wallet..so he bought a $5 wallet and then had nothing to put it in....

If I buy the car........I will be too broke to build another garage...if I build the garage.....no money left for the car....

 

Deuce,,,ya got the oil pan replaced on the roadster?HRP

Got it off......waiting on the new one......coming from Charlotte NC........be here later today...

Doing the brakes....all the way around while I got it up.....took a look and they were thin.....52,000 miles....

.

 

No offense, but that's been my thought all along.

Nice '32 sheet metal deserves better.

Sorry.

Well Dave.........this is NOT exactly a flathead either ......in your 3W....


The engine (427 BBC ) for Dave's 32 3W.....


Dave's 32 3W......current condition ...


Bob Elston's 32 3W.......the look that you want to end up with..... yours words..

Bob's 32 is what I want to end up with also......except no cowl lights......I even have a ZZ430 engine......like Bob.....



For the rest of you.....
Go here for the run down....on Bob's coupe......on Dave's page....

I am greedy .........I want them .. BOTH .. ....one old school.....and one a little more modern underside.....

BTW..I like your coupe too.........
Now.......back to that flatty powered 3W....up on Auction....that we were lusting after....

 

Randy, you sidestepped the street rod ch***is issue. With your ch***is, you're building a street rod. There isn't one part I've seen on your ch***is that I would have put on a car I'd build. We like hot rods. You say you want a hot rod, and you're building a street rod.

That picture of my coupe is two years old. It's tucked away in storage, but it's not for sale and it won't be. The roadster is just far more important to me. It will be a roller by fall, and we plan to do a second roadster as well. All with neat, old parts.

If I bought that car, could I be in the Deuces only club, and talk about it on the internet all the time?

 

I don't understand why he didn't wate for the LA Roadster show to sell the coupe??? He could have got alot more for it with less trouble.--TV

 

I was just kidding. Randy's ch***is makes a lot of sense for a man wanting to rack up some miles.

I don't blame him one bit.

JH

 

wow!!!
the motherload...

 

Who voted you the 'Hot Rod ' determinator ??
You build your 3W your way.......I will build mine to suit me.....
I drive my cars.......and a 700R4, a 9 inch and A/C makes good sense...to me.....My old 32 Henry roadster.....' may be a street rod ' by your definition....but it has over 50 thousand miles on it in the last 10 years .....and 6 of those I drove my 40 Ford coupe .....almost exclusively....My stuff does not sit around.....waiting to be worked on or driven.. At my age....I ain't got the time......to wait....I want to ride...

Just because I have a ' Street Rod 32 ' ( by your definition ) does not mean I cannot appreciate and want a old timey 32 with a flattie also....

 

How many times do you say "My 32" and "My Deuce" in a day?

 

That's a good start

 

...according to your profile, you like to pick your face and look at ****s on the internet. Why don't you go back to that...

 

That car is 'muy bueno' - but I get the feeling that for that kind of money the person wouldn't be a real 'hamber'

Jake

 

I'd go as far as sayin that's a pretty good start.

 

...have no fear Jake, there are guys here who could afford it and would do it proud...
