My find of a lifetime...rust free '32 5 window!!!

yup 49 merc

 

Is your 3 window story the same as the 5w? Congrats!

 

nice score, beautiful car!

 

Speechless... You scored a survivor!

 

Nice score, the envy of all!

 

i think that every single thing about this car is cool. the vent windows, dash, divider, fenders, bumper, taillights.. EVERYHTING! I wouldnt touch it, just get it running and drive that ol' gal.

 

Awesome man!

 

In a way...you can see it here...

It, however is pretty rough & I am still locating parts for it...much more of a "long time" project.

 

First off... great find and congrats! To answer your question... I have a stock 350 sbc in front of a 39 3-speed and stock Banjo rear in my 28 Model A (avatar pic). It drives just fine, but if you "rip" on it... something will break.

 

Great Find!

 

Wow, a 3/w and a 5/w. That's a better pair than a 3/w and roadster.

FWIW, I'd ditch the spare carrier and windshield split. Add 16" www's/caps n rings and a 265/early 283 (staggered valve covers), go through the brakes/suspension and drive it.

 

that is one nice find , keep it as it is with the fenders , the stock 3 speed and banjo will hold up all day long if you drive it as is if you plan on jousting with it you might get breakage , that car spells cool, kool, all day long if you need a 265 give me a shout does it still have the v/8 adapter , i think i have one of them also , you got a good one there you the man

 

Holy smokes! You lucky dawg!! Congrats!!

 

No, I don't have the adaptor...I have already searched the classifieds & pm'd a few to see if any are available. If you have one, I am interested!

 

Wow! I've been down that "no sleep road" - totally worth it! Congrats!
Here's link to give you some insight on your brake set up

Really nice find!! This pic was a bit scary!! Why the chain around the fender!!?

 

I couldn't wait to get the fenders off of it & it takes too much time to unbolt them....just kidding. The previous owner layed the chain across the fender while I was operating the winch...my winch cable is around the axle. No harm done.

 

Kisam...
Thanks for that link!!! Congrats on driving your 3 window as well...
Sam

 

Sam, its only fair that now you give me the 55, whats the address, I'm sending over a flatbed?

 

the duece is perfect. to all the naysayers what could be more traditional than 265-283 with 3-2s or 2-4s good luck and congrats tom

 

Wow. That is amazing.

 

Cool score man, I honestly thought there might be some 'glass in this thread!!! Effin sweet!!!

 

I'm very happy for ya, really. SBC all the way. It's how it was so why the hell not. I also see it with early Vette wheel covers. Not sure which ones but the full wheel cover and wide whites. They look perfect on a Deuce coupe set up like yours. Again I'm really happy for ya...and fuckin hate ya at the same time!!

 

check jeffreyjames' thread out on small blocks. if done right they are some kinda sexy!

congrats on such a rad unmolested score bro!!!

 

Absolutely cool!

 

Damn what a score Sam. I've only met you once but I wish your luck would rub off on me.

 

Congrats. Gotta feel better when it`s finally home.

I know I`m looking forward to that feeling.

 

For your consideration....

327, 39 3 spd, early 32 RE, 3:20 gear, stock springs axle bones front and rear, 40 Brakes

13 years, 80K mi, 2 continents, never on a trailer

the sbc has its place in life....

 

CONGRATULATIONS ...

I know you already have a 32 3W coupe, a 32 Tudor sedan and now the 5 window .

In addition to all the other neat stuff you have

I only have a pair of 32 Fords ... but rest assured ... they are better than money in the bank. Now you need a roadster, a Victoria and a cabriolet

Total adrenalin...I wouldn't be sleeping either! You are one lucky %&$*! I'd like to hear the story on how you located this one. CONGRATS!
I also vote for the SB.
