REAL '32 Ford Roadster on Ebay
 

I've been looking at this item for about a month now. It is the REAL DEAL. It's one of the '32's that came with a 4 banger but it's still pretty cool. The guy has dropped his price down 8K.

Still, 42k seems pretty high for a B in all those pieces.

I had to hammer weld 10" all the way around my roadster due to rust. If you had to pay someone to do the bodywork you would probably have that much into one if you started with what is usually available today. 32s came out in the bottom of the depression and not that many were sold. Supply and demand......

My buddies got one he thinks is only worth about $20 grand. His mom bought it used in 1933 at my shop when it was a dealership. It was repainted in 1948 and a new top in 1953. It has never been apart and besides sone damage on the pass front fender from his mom its in museum quality condition. We just put a new clutch in a little over a year ago and we were the first people since factory to have the engine out. If that guy in the ad is asking close to $50 my buddies must be worth around $70.

I think up in our neck of the woods, he'd have a reasonable chance of getting it. I'm sure you can build a reproduction for less money, but it is original for those fanatics.

Less than 12,000 '32 Ford Roadsters were produced. There were about 101,000 3 and 5 window 1932's produced I believe.

yes, you gotta be careful, alot of people try and pass off a '32 frame with a Brookville body on it. I've even seen the patent plate for the body on Ebay. I don't know how you would test the metal body for age. I'm lucky I documented my restoration.

I'm assuming a " B " would not have a serial number starting with 18 but I'm not sure.
