I don't see the model a cowl anywhere. Looks like mostly 35 parts to me. Could be a terribly molested cabriolet but couldn't tell without seeing the top of the windsheild.

'34 5-window that's had the roof and door tops cut off. Probably an aborted attempt to turn it in to a Cabriolet or "Coupester".

I didnt mean model a cowl, sorry, I meant cowl from a..."insert model here"
You can see in the one picture it looks like its cut from a sedan or coupe.
Cant really make out the garnish moldings either

It is relatively inexpensive, but wonder if its even worth what he is asking.
Any guess on value?

If you have the time for a project it would be good. Restoring to original would be a fortune but a cheap hot rod would be best in my opinion.

Look at it from the parts angle . Looks to me that it used to be a 34 dlx 2d . Notice the long doors . The 33-34 RH quarter laying by the car is obviously some type of repop - look at the trunk lip area . I guess it is possible it came off a really butched car but anyway you cut it it ain't from that car . Decklid & braces look new ? Decklid fiberglass ? Figure out what is gennie ford & what is good as any good gennie parts will have value . If it was here I would definately buy it { if cheep } and stuff it in the digestion corner . It's still a 34 Ford . Frame good ? .

What sheet metal is there, does not look too bad. I wouldn't want to try to restore it.
It looks, as if, some kid started to "rod" a fairly nice car, but after he butchered it, he figured it was too much for him. "There ought to be a law".

looks like a 33/34 four door sedan body to me . The pass side quarter panel is not ford, look like 34/35 chevy to me . I wouldn't pay more than a grand for it. It's not that hard to build a coupe from a 33/34 sedan . built this one fro a little over 1k . lots of hrs though

Marked as sold when I looked . Interesting to see the majority calling it a 4d . To those that see it that way - how do you get a long door { 2d-3w or vicky } on a 4d ? Also where is ANY remnant of the C-pillar ? Or for that matter the rear door ? All I see is part of a quarter panel . Sometimes stuff from central ND is pretty rust free & there was a lotta stuff here . Sure it was butched badly but there's still mucho paaatz there . Bismarck is bout 500 miles from me .

David, I just checked the ad and it is still available. He added pictures to the ad, as there were none there before. The pics I uploaded he had emailed to me.
