i found a 32 ford vicky next to a barn, that is all original complete with doors fenders running boards grill and even spoked wheels. does anyone know what this is worth?
im ***uming lots is >= thousands, id dare say along the lines a 32 coupe body?...depends on its condition, and how bad you want it, AND how much you are willing to pay for it
i never liked the vicky body styles, hey what ever happened to that guy who wanted to shorten his vicky and put a pick up bed on it, with a matching tailgate to match the vicky lines? everyone gave him ****, i know he was looking for an artist to do a concept, i would of like to of seen the pics anyway, somethings turn out better on paper than in the head...oh well
thanks for writing back, i dont really like the vicky either, but it is in very nice shape and think i can get it for cheap, and turn around and sell it after doing no or a little work to it. i cant seem to find any unrestored for sale just restored ones for like 45-50grand.thanks
You could probably get better help from a resto board.ANY 32 Ford is expensive,and I think Vickies are scarce.
My buddy has a vicky , paid 4k for it a few years back. but condition is key! But I love the look of the vicky, if you don't like the look of the vicky what body style do you like ??
Hey, that guy was me. The guy that said he would do a concept drawing never emailed me back again. so im ***uming either he is working on it, or he realized it was a stupid idea or something. I know now, i wont do it even if it is neat cus i dont feel like cutten up my frame again. Anyways, If this Vicky is in good condition and you have the deniro's. Buy it then sell it. I bet you could make lots of money.
Im confused and lost John. Im sorry. No, im not a Fireman. (is that a joke?) I dont get it. Im so sorry for my stupidity. Your gonna have to explain what your talkin about and who my common friend is. Sorry
My confusion, when you said " Hey that's me" sorry about that. I was mistaken on who you were. You know small world thing.
O, im sorry john, I should have made myself more clear. FastbackAdam, Update us on what your gonna do. If you dont buy it, and it is cheap, i may seriously be interested.
Im building a fibergl*** vicky but a steel one would be about a million times better (better in building process, and braggin rights)
I hear ya Nick, go for the steel one, sounds barn fresh. Great body choice, cl***ie and sporty, good luck
i still havent been able to get a hold of the owner, and when i say good condition i mean it is all there non rusted and not ever restored, it doesnt run i am ***uming and will still need alot of work to make a nice car, but well see if i can track the guy down, i will let ya know.. also i really like 27-31 ford 5 windows, cuz someone asked
I bought an amature restoration that was done in the late 60's or early 70's. It was not driven much, the owner died and it sat for about 15 years. 33 motor, lacquer paint, all the junk accessories like fog lights, dual side mounts with covers and mirrors, luggage rack etc. From 10 feet it looks perfect. Good body, steel fenders. I paid 18,000. It is probably worth about 7 to 10,000 more.
My dad had a stock vicky body in perfect condition for 30 years, hhad offers of 12,000 and said no thanks. Well business needed money and he ended up selling it a year or two ago, but we know where it's at..... That's just a body! no fenders, frame, nothing but the body and doors. The frame, if it's nice and stock, clean, no rust is about two grand
i actually got a closer look at the car the other day, still havent been able to talk to the owners, but it does have a few small spots of rust, but nothing that isnt easily fixed..let you all know if i get it
I saw a body on ebay get bid up to 15 grand and not meet the reserve! Whether you like the body style or not, Vicky's are big buck cars.
I know where there's one in a barn in a junkyard in Orlando. We're not allowed to look at it let alone attempt to buy it. I love these rhetorical "what's it worth?" questions. There's no answer for such questions, just ponderences.
I know where one is sitting in a warehouse, low original miles, a beautiful, complete, unrestored survivor. I inquired as to whether or not it was for sale, and the guy I asked said he offered 20K ten years ago for the car and was refused (this guy's not a ********ter, for those in CenTex, he's the guy that restores all of the cars in the Rosanky Museum.) It's sitting next to a 55 2dr Nomad, 64 Suicide-door lincoln vert, and 7K mile 87 Grand National and about 30 others... drool.
