Now this is living! Keep the metal dreams alive one car at a time. My buddy GAVE away a complete 1932 Ford 3 window coupe for pennies in the late 1970's; had a brand new boxed frame and a bigblock Chevy ready to be bolted in. I wish he would have sold it to me to this day.

What is something like this worth these days? I have a couple 32 3w’s and three 35 pickups that I wouldn’t mind getting rid of. I haven’t followed the value of the 30’s ford stuff in about 15 years. One of the 3w is in a bit better shape than this one, it hasn’t been chopped. It’s missing the doors, deck lid, and floor. The other one hasn’t been chopped and it’s a rust free car but missing the floor. It was channeled back in the 60’s. The doors are just about perfect. All the garnish moldings are chrome. I have a couple grilles, 3 firewalls, front fenders, running boards, bumpers, axles, probably a lot I’ve forgotten about. I doubt I’ll ever get to doing anything with the stuff.
