    After 2+ years of waiting I finally was able to make a deal on this '32 5W.Unchopped ,unfilled,392 Hemi,Muncie M-22 4speed,'56 Pontiac rear end. The car was purchased by the seller in the early 60's as a college freshman. After rebuilding the 392 hemi to be "more competitive" on the streets,he blew up the rear end and the car has sat in storage,partially dissasembled since 1973. I have visited him several times over the last two years to try to buy the coupe but it was not for sale.I had to sell two cars to buy this,but no regrets. I finally own a deuce. The hardest part of this was keeping the car and it's location a secret. Actually JUSTDUG and IRONBUYER knew about it,and I mentioned it to HOTRODLADYCRUSR at Bonneville.:)I'm telling you guys they are still out there,be persistent, patient, and polite with the owners and good things can happen!

    That looks like shit. Anyone who spent two years trying to buy that is crazy. Hell, it doesn't even look like it needs any patch panels so I just don't see the point. But, it's your money and you know what they say about a fool and his money?......is it already home?

    NICE! Now we can all chime in with how you should build it. Keep the HEMI, study every photo out there of Randy's '32's.

    Great car..... Now your in the 3% club (guys who actually own a real 32). While Im still in the 97% club (guys who will build other cars because we either can"t afford a 32 or find a 32..... Speaking of price how much?? Even if it cost 50 million dollars (which I would pay if I had it) how much did it cost. Just in case one of us find a 32 we would not want to pass up a deal of a life time because we had not clue what one should cost.
