Default Latest "Original steel body" 32 Ford Roadster on E-bay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1932-...item1c32f18a5c


That doesn't look like an original firewall to me. And I know my patent plate is not located on that area of my firewall. Also where is the crank hole in the radiator grill ?

But if they say it's real then it's gotta be true huh ?

I guess the BODY could be original, can't tell with those pictures, everything else that bolts on could be Brookville, doors, rumble lid, dash, firewall isn't even close. Not my cup of tea. Why would someone go to the trouble of installing air on a roadster?

When he says "original steel body", he might just be telling us it is not one of those "tupperware" plastic bodies.

I could live with it but for 95 K you would not expect peeling paint or cutouts bigger than facias.

Ho Hum. . . . .

Just another 1-800 car. One among many, and many are for sale, AND most are stuck with something that's worth wayyyy less than they have in it.

I've seen a few like this change hands for $25,000 to $30,000

For some reason I am unable to navigate to ebay links provided by members. I have tried several ways to get there but every time the screen says that the item has been removed or something.

Yes, it has been removed. I guess some of you who replied to his message hurt his pride or something like that.
