Frame Identification / 32- 5 window coupe finds me!

rolfs coupe, pics dont do it justice. rolf has since sold it.

1200?!?!?!?!?!?!?! wtf!!!!!! god damn you got a amazing deal. Ill be expecting a build thread lol

 

I still cant believe that I stumbled into something like this. As tough as it is not to start on it soon, I have to build my 30 Tudor first. I will definitely do a build thread on it when I start.

 

have you picked it up yet??? or did i miss that..

 

We are leaving Sunday morning to pick up the 32. My wife and I are taking her crawfish cooker and cooking for the family. I may also be bringing back a 50 Chevy P/U that belongs to the owner. He wants me to put new cab corners in it for him and repair a rusty bed floor.

 

your one lucky SOB!lol!

 

Great story, i wich i would stumble on a 32 like that.

 

1) great car, but even better WIFE ! I will give you $1200 and a crawfish boil for her right now!

2) next question, how much WOULD you have paid for the car? for example, would you have paid $3000? just wondering....

 

Did you get it home yet? Any new pictures ?

 

Im not sure exactly. I had a feeling that they would want a low price for it since they really didnt make a big deal about the car. I would have probably still got it even if he said 5k. You just cant find one everyday.

 

Picking it up Sunday afternoon. I cannot wait. He found the grill! He sent me a pic to identify it. It has a 6" diameter hedge busk growing through it. Been there for a while!

 

I commend you on telling what you paid for this great find, Some guys act like their roof is going to cave in on them or it will somehow change their whole life if they tell anyone what they paid for their hot rod project.

 

great story and one hell of a wife! you asked about tje taillights, look to be 51/52? buick to me. keep us posted on progress. we all envy you with your new build and your "skill" at negotiations(bring wife).

 

Well, did ya make it back home?

 

Wheres the 32, Sunday is here and go.

 

I have been meaning to post about the 32. I came down with a stomach virus Friday and had to put off picking it up til this Saturday. The son came by to visit and brought me a bill of sale, spreader bar, hood, fender, and headlights; so I paid him while he was here. I cleaned out a spot for it today. This will be the first body to go on my rotisserie!

 

Are you getting the frame too?

 

big duece, Im getting the frame as well. It has a few spots that need repair, but Im getting a 32 frame jig to help with the repairs.

 

I just caught up on your story. Congrats!!!!
I can wait to see some pix of it when you get it home.

 

Looks like 48 Buick tail lites ,nice find .Need to change your name to lucky.
Lucky cars and wife

 

Im very lucky! I will take pics when I get there Saturday.

 

Wait, 1200 dollars of money?!? Im not sure wether to throw you a high five or an elbow. I'm jealous. Looking forward to more pics.

Cool pic!! Here is Rusti working on a 40 Sedan that we got for parts. I may run that axle on my Tudor. We are building her a shop truck 40 and plan on using the Sedan front cap.

 

Wow you lucky devil, get it home and then go buy your lottery ticket.

 

Finally The trailer is hooked to the F-250 headed to pick up the 32 Ford in the morning. The owner had a minor surgery last week, but told me to come tomorrow. Im pumped! Thanks for all the good words guys and I will take some pics.

 

Looking forward to seeing the pics of it in your shop.

 

I just got home with the 32. I have to admit that I am VERY lucky to have found one in such a manner, but I am thankful for the opportunity to build it. I really do feel like I won the lottery. We will download more pics of picking it up later.

 

Your one lucky guy, I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

From that pic the frame AND body both are very good shape,(rusty gold).
