GREED! Think he's around a $100,000 to high. :-)

1931 flamingo · 08-17-2012, 12:09 PM

HIGH priced but a time machine, doesn't look too molested. They aren't making real ones anymore. Could be going through a divorce and wife's lawyer says you have to sell, so it's for sale.
Yes, price is rediculous. JMO

Old Redneck · 08-17-2012, 12:11 PM

The only one he fooling is himself. He not very smart. He showing off. He a dreamer I would say.

I would rather have a 5 window,seems with the Brookvilles especially and glass 32 3 windows are everywhere.

jim1932 · 08-17-2012, 12:42 PM

"Numbers matching" "period correct" with a 327? Didn't know they had them in 1932

37slantback · 08-17-2012, 01:07 PM

He is dry humping your wallet trying to figure out how deep it is.

Bruce Lancaster · 08-17-2012, 01:20 PM

High, but by waaaay less than 100,000! Unchopped and obviously savable body, frame is likely salvageable. I assume he means frame number matches title...if it matches the number on the turbhydro's flange we can chop off some value...
I would assume he is stirring the pot to advertise the car and will seek actual buyers later. It will sell for a lot.

51 MERC-CT · 08-17-2012, 01:58 PM

If you do a check on this guys EBAY transactions, based on the chemicals he's buying I would guess that his brain was screwed up

Andy · 08-17-2012, 02:06 PM

It was on last week. Only got to 33K. He is too cheap to post more than a few pics? I think I remember when it was found. It had front fenders then. I believe it is from south Florida. Rust maybe? Not a very serious sales attempt.

Zaemo · 08-17-2012, 02:44 PM

It's not even a historically significant car. For that money, it should be a completely restored car with an unbelievable provenance...... AND a flathead in a perfect chassis! I wouldn't give the guy a dollar until he could spell "gauge."
I remember these same pics from ages ago. I guess he's going to be passing it on to the next generation in his family.

1937pickup · 08-17-2012, 05:28 PM

Doesn't hurt to try-you can see how many bids he has. Makes him feel good-e.g. rich.

Charlie Stephens · 08-17-2012, 05:37 PM

If my wife told me to sell my '32 that is the price I would put on it. If it didn't sell I would tell her that we would have to wait a few years until the economy got better.

Charlie Stephens

Barry-ct · 08-17-2012, 05:46 PM

Anyone who pays even 1/2 that insane price deserved to screwed and that's what they'll get ....... That's crazy!

B-O-B · 08-17-2012, 06:16 PM

probably hadthe fat finger syndrome & hit too many keys. I know with my nerves sometimes I get waaaay toooo many 00000s

Old Henry · 08-17-2012, 08:00 PM

He probably put that price on so when buyers sort by highest price first he'll be at the top.

Brendan · 08-17-2012, 08:20 PM

he says that it has a 3 sp trans, it looks like a automatic to me, and a powerglide i think he is on drugs!

Very astute!

Fibber Mcgee · 08-18-2012, 03:49 AM

The reason he wants so much is its so rare. They only made one 32 3 window with a chevy 327 in 32, the engine was ahead of its time and the project bombed after only one was made. Turns out in 32 no one wanted an ohv 300 hp engine.

Pat/Ohio · 08-18-2012, 04:29 AM

[QUOTE=Zaemo;481085]What is wrong with this guy, other than the obvious?

Probably nothing wrong with the seller.....It's the buyer that I would be concerned about!

Pat

deuce lover · 08-18-2012, 10:52 AM

Same car was listed over a year ago and didn't sell then.I think he wanted $60K at the time.

FL&WVMIKE · 08-18-2012, 12:08 PM

I don't think that he really wants to sell it, now. He just want to put it out there, that a 3W is available.
MIKE

Zaemo · 08-18-2012, 12:27 PM

The really nice 32 3 Window on eBay is up to $91,000.

jimTN · 08-18-2012, 04:19 PM

That car has been on ebay before and for less money and did not sell then. Was at a showing of historical film footage of East TN today and saw some footage taken in the Smokey Mtns in 34 and there was a 32 three window in all its glory there. It looked like it had just come out of a showroom window and sure was head and shoulders above the other cars of that period.

I was wondering about that myself. The page didn't seem very well written for someone asking for that much money.

Andyr · 08-19-2012, 10:40 AM

FYI.......Nick Alexander's beautifully restored '32 3 window sold at the RM Auction in Monterrey Ca Friday evening for $90,000........certainly a Dearborn candiadte.

Zaemo · 01-18-2013, 03:02 PM

It's back at a mere $50,000.

I think he accidentally slipped in an extra zero. At least I hope it was accidental. Otherwise . . .
Maybe $5,000 but $50,000???

jimTN · 01-18-2013, 05:03 PM

That car has been on ebay several times and always with a huge price. A bunch of good parts and a butchered frame.

Fibber Mcgee · 01-20-2013, 07:24 AM

Someone needs to contact the U.S. government,that seems like the type of investment they are used to making.....

Ive got a friend who has a black painted semi non assembled chev 350-350-Ford 9 inch all real henry non chopped but filled roof that hed take $98.5K for

fortyfords · 02-02-2013, 06:58 AM

I think the guy is wanting a father and son to buy the car so the history of the car will go on. I would sure love to continue the story with myself and my sons but I'm not in the position to pay that much money out so the car will keep looking for a family that can. I would sure love to see some really nice people get the car that would keep it preserved.
