1932 Ford Craigslist Find. Trash or Treasure??????

Funny, I saw the first pic and immediately thought of you!

OP, awesome score! Any chance you wanna sell the valve covers??

 

Nice find.

As soon as I saw the pictures of the body this car popped into my head.

 

most definatly a good score! ,but i think i would re think building it back as a roadster , i would either try to make a coupe out of it again ... or maybe it would be better to part out that body ,two or three coupes could be brought back from an organ donor like that , with the money from the pieces you might be most the way there to a new b-ville body or at least one in pieces!

 

This one is for sale. Too bad you couldn't buy it and just swap the roof.

 

Thats not for sale! Adam was the only chance at buying it becuase he wanted to trade a 3 window.

 

Mother ****er!! Come on most of us poor guys would love to get our hands on a 32 like that!!

 

I thought you said you would sell it, but you wanted 15k?

 

why not double your money on your dream car?

 

havent you guys already been through this ...........

Back to the post. Looks solid in places. Its a 32 so will likely be worth more to someone else than you as you didnt seem too commited to it. Extra $ in your pocket perhaps.

 

Good Score!

#1 Ditch the valve covers!
#2 Swap the rims and tires
#3 Start Mocking it up

I will then say the bug will bite and BUILD IT!

 

Great score, man - I've got this exact car, my avatar, and it's nearly done - was a 5-window, lost it's roof and had a f-gl*** lift-off made for it.

 

Dude if you need to ask, I'll say TRASH... But I'll give you a few shekels for it, cause I feel bad for you. J/K, great score Bro.

 

Thanks for the inspiration. I want to build it, but it is a long way from being nice. I see your car and I think if you can do it, so can I.

 

I gotta say, the quarters are cut a bit more than I'd do it...but its still a REALLY good looking car that should have people scratching their heads.
With the roof on you NAILED the proportions!

I like that a lot...and its different, which isn't too easy to get with a Deuce!

So you left the front of the door to guide the gl***. (And support the hinge of course...) Does the gl*** stay tight when its all the way up and work well with the rear channel cut down?
How did you seal the gl*** to the roof of does it just float?

Cool job!

 

Man! Bad*** Valve covers!!!!

 

Yea they are the ****!! I will sell them to you!!

 

wow...make use of it.

 

Looks like the beginnings of a cool hot rod.

I'd roll with it.

Sam

 

Patience is all you need, just pull out the hammers dollys and an O/A torch with a 00 and a 000 tip and get going!!

 

Nothing wrong with that body that a few dryer sheets wont buff out......
KIRK! will lend a hand.

Doc.

 

OMG . I can't believe they just threw in those valve covers!!! just kidding, were all jealous.Good score.

 

thats the start of a cool hot rod that looks like its already got some history.

 

mate you got a survivor car you lucky sod research it and build it as it was safe of course its what we all dream of

 

Will be a cool ride........do it your way........but please dont do it with those valve covers....................HAVE FUN !!!

 

That made me laugh and for the car, if your happy thats all that matters. Have fun building her and just remember to post picks so I/we can see it.

 

wait...did someone chime in on the dash?...isn't that an Auburn/Cord dash?....big bucks....

 

Center part of dash is 1935 Packard.

 

Even if you just hung the body on the wall it would be bad *** KOOL!
Great Score....Congrats!

When I first looked at it, I thought it was a Model "A", but it looks like it started life as a coupe. Have you determined what was done way back when?
