Default Brookville Raodster 32 3 window body

Hey Guys , just wanted to get some opinions on my quandry. I have an opertunity to buy a raw steel 32 Ford 3 window Brookville coupe body. This has never been on a chassis nor seen paint. All raw steel. It is stock body with stock dash , firewall , floors , deck lid , all garnish mouldings . Has all wood installed and Steves Auto Restoration roof panel. I can buy it for $21,000.00. Feel that this is a good deal for this body . I plan to use this for a sample when I start on my original Henry 3 window body .
What do you guys think ?
Any input is apreciated

Look for a second option. Call Brookfield and ask what they would charge for a like condition as they build them anyway you want. Include a quote for shipping.

I have called Brookville looking for drawings to aid in determining what is surely missing on my body and exactly where these go ?
They incicate that there are no such drawings , so I have this opertunity to buy this new body and use it as an example. They usually go for over $28,000.00 so I think that @ $21,000 is a fair deal and when done I may sell the Brookville body or build another 3 window car.
Just wanting to know about body prices
Thanks Guys
Vic

Presumably you're aware that the rear two-thirds of the floor in the Brookville coupe body is that of a five-window coupe/roadster and not a reproduction of the original 3-window floor. (It's only relevant if you want your project body to be completely original.)

Yes I am aware , also the rear fender wells are of a roadster . I am only looking to put this body back together as close as possible like original but is going to be built into a streetrod.
Thanks for the heads up
Vic

The other thing that I know is that some of the brookville roadster body parts are made by Howell's Sheet metal in Texas

I had to make a correction on my note on reproduction sheet metal for the 32 Fords. It is Howells in Texas.
