32 Three Window Barn Find - They're Still Out there

Brought home a really nice 3 window this afternoon. I had to sell my green roadster quick, but I think it was worth it. This was actualy listed here in the classifieds..turns out it was close by so I went and had a look...and wound up making a deal.

The car is super solid and was probably built in the early 60's and then maybe a little more was done in the 80's. Traditional east coast stance....a 4 inch channel the height of the frame and an unchopped top. Old chrome plated grill shell and the garnish moldings were even there and chrome too.... Chome plated 37 round axle and juice brakes....57 rear.Dash with glove box door and cigar lighter...all body wood perfect..header and winshield wiper motor intact... all the glass is intact and in good shape...regulators in door working..........it's really unbelievable...has some neat chrome side cowl vents too and a nifty little rear roll pan that they used a 32 hood top to make.

I'd like to find some history on the car. My initial plans are to leave it as survivor, put a motor in with period goodies and get her running down the road....go over the front and rear supension, frame, and brakes....nothing fancy.



Loading her up




Front suspension...check out that lower shock mounting..

 

31Whitey is going to punch himself in the face!!!!


That's awesome man!!! Congrats!

 

Love the chrome grille shell, love the '37 Axle......hate the fact that you took such shitty pics of such a cool find.

 

When you say nothing fancy in terms of engine....I hope you mean Early Hemi, Olds Rocket, or a mean 301 Chevy. If so....carry on.

 

Congrats! Not butchered at all--that top looks great...hardly see em not chopped anymore.
Guess you will have a good winter in Pa playing with that project. Awesome.

 

That is a great find. Any idea what was in it for a engine?? what motor mounts,trans mounts did it have??

 

Nice find buddy, sounds like you have some good plans for it too.

 

I knew there had to be a reason for the smoking deal on your roadster. Great find!

 

wow that is a awesome find!!! i was in awe when i seen you had your roadster for sale but it all makes sense now!!!

 

Can I have the wheels?

 

I say leave the wheels and paint it black with a big firebird painted on the hood. Smokey and the Bandit style.

 

Nice find, show some more pictures.

 

Nice score! All the hard to find parts too. They are still out there, I just picked up a 32 3 window last month too.

 

yup.something like that

Had an early SBC in it and a four speed

I actually have to give those back..sorry

 

Well then, I think a real deal 301 Chevy with a 4spd behind it would be a perfect choice. I would spend the next couple months digging up some history like I know you will be.

I am really interested to see and hear a 301 as they were so highly revered back in the day. That thing screaming down the track at next years Jalopy Drags would by music to my ears.

Admiditely...I do tend to beat the shit out of myself from time to time...

I think I saw that listed in the classifieds..

Who knows...sick score man...

 

Sorry for the shitty pics...it was getting dark. I'll take some better ones this weekend and will post em up

 

I'm going to punch myself in the face!

 

That first video Inlaw Model A was enough for me to want one in something. Damn that thing sounds raaaaaaaaaaaadddd!!!!

 

Way to go. Maybe we should change your handle to Lucky Dog... I think all our barns in the area have already been picked clean...

 

Piss me off, Jerry............. :^)

Why can't i find this in Europe.
All i find is Euro styl Tudors with suicide doors, nothing wrong with that but a nice 3W like this and my collection is complete (well i know that's not possible, a collection is never complete)
