Hot Rods New Car, New Member 1936 Ford

Hello,

I purchased this car (along with my parents help) here in Colorado and was hoping there might be someone who knows some history.
The owner has had it for the past 32 years and it has a stamped plate on the firewall that indicates it was rebuilt in 1970 and the car currently has 3,900 miles. The gentleman who passed away never let it see rain and only drove it to local car shows, per his wife.
Hoping someone can help me out with its history so I can keep records.

 

Oh my what a beauty.
Lucky kid to have parents like that.

 

Welcome aboard ! That is a beautiful '36 . You may also want to check out the HAMB's sister site www.fordbarn .com - F F

 

Beautiful, welcome to the HAMB!

 

Great looking Ford ,what's the plans?, leave it alone or tail dragger maybe?.

 

WOW!!.........Can't help with the history, but WOW!!!

 

I want your parents to be my parents. I don't care if I am older than they are!! Lol.
Do you know how fortunate you are to have your parents?

Very cool car!

 

You should get a copy of the restoration guidelines from the Early Ford V8 Club, https://shop.efv8.org/collections/ford-books/products/1935-1936-ford-book-softbound The car is beautiful, I hope you keep its original but that is your decision.

That’s a great buy, congratulations!! Oh, welcome aboard!

 

Welcome from down south. What a beautiful ride. Can't help with your history but look forward to watching it's future.

 

Congrats. Remember 1936 Ford coupe rear fenders are very rare and impossible to find. So, take care.

 

Just blow some carbon out and enjoy driving.She's a beaut for sure.

 

Thanks everyone. It’s truly an amazing find and it took us 4 years to purchase it. My Mom had a Procharged, 2003 ZO6 that she could no longer shift (6-speed car) after she battled with breast cancer very easily and she enjoyed it for 10 years so we pooled our money and acquired this ‘36.
There was some handwritten paperwork that we found with the car saying it had won a Dearborn Award but have not confirmed this yet.
I’m leaving the car original to keep the value up but haven’t ruled out a drop axle to get the nose down a tad. Personal preference of mine.
I will search the Internet from the Vin and registry to see if there is anything I can find on it.
It seems to fit right in with the odd-garage. Haha
Thanks again-

 

In my opinion when it comes to 36 Fords, you hit the jackpot! I see you some other nice looking toys in the garage.

 

Now that is an "WOW" find, enjoy your new ride.

 

Money, when viewed as value "in the future" has no real value. Money has value only when it is exchanged for something.

sounds like you like rods, so do as your gut says.....and if you can't find the history of that car, you control & make the history of it from the "now".

.

 

Is that Marty McFly's Delorean hiding in the corner of your garage? The '36 is quite the time machine too. Beautiful car.

 

I'm up for adoption !

Great car - congrats.

 

My second favorite car, welcome along with your beautiful coupe.

 

That's a nice car. I couldn't cut it up however you can still hot rod it up a bit. Drop axle is a bolt in, a hop up flathead is too. Those things can be done and it returned to stock anytime. Where in Colorado?

 

Thanks everyone. I knew we couldn’t pass up the car when the garage door went up. Got it running with just a little elbow grease and some good friends.

Yes, 1981 Delorean was the first car I ever purchased (20+ years ago) and my Daughter loves going to school in it now.

The 1967 C10 (850 hp) we built last year to replace my other passion of Top Fuel Motorcycles that I’ve raced for the past 10+ years. 255mph in 5 seconds is hard to replace but I’ve managed to find new avenues to spend time with my family now and cars are easier to take passengers in. Haha

 

Me and my wife have no parents and are currently up for adoption. Thank your parents and be very gracious. Tell your Mom Best wishes with her cancer, both my and wife's mothers both beat it. I recognize the name now. Not racing anymore?

 

That body style in that color is probably the best creation of Ford motor company.

 

Forget the ford! Tell us about the Delorean!! Just kidding. Beatific ford.
