'32 Ford on BaT

[Willie B]

350 Chevy in a 32 Ford

Glass body

Looks neat but I couldn’t live with those two things in a 32 Ford.

… Just a guess… But I’m thinking there may be more small block Chevys in 32 hot rods than there are flatheads…

I’d wager there are more chevys in ‘32s than there were ‘32s originally produced.

This is strictly for some fun, go rip around for a summer and move on. Not a show car.

… Pretty much what I was told by a friend of mine who used to buy and sell a lot of speed parts on eBay… The hawkers wait till the last 30 seconds or something and then bid a dollar or a penny over the last bid… probably why I never tried to buy anything off of eBay

I hated that about eBay.

Cool part about BaT is that if a bid is made in the last 2 mins, it extends the auction by another 2 minutes. Keeps be bid sniping at bay.

Meh.
I suppose to more purists.
To the average guy, it would be a fairly afFordable toy. With the easy parts finding of the Chevy. Perfect for summer night cruising fun. 3 pedals is just extra fun
Maybe upgrade this or that and dump it in a few years when a new itch sparks.

If I were getting it I’d probably call Dave Barr or call Maurcie and try and talk him out of retirement for an afternoon and lay down some custom stripes, retro style of course.

Fill er up and have fun.

… I suppose I kind of blew it sometime ago… A high boy 32 came up for sale in the neighborhood… Fiberglass… Chrome, jag rear end …nice tan upholstery… Small black Chevy… It belonged to a couple who maybe were in their early 60s ..they were getting a divorce and it sounds to me like the wife got pissed off and poured water in the carburetor and ruined the motor …
…They wanted 10 grand for it… Which at the time I thought was too high… I had .an LS seven big block that I might have been able to stuff into it…

How this car doesn’t have more bids yet is crazy to me.

Last 2 minutes is where the action is

Unless someone sends in some crazy bid early

I only have the one car from BaT personally, but even that one was over 30k in the first 2 days.

Backoff, I see you bumped it up.

This seller is not really engaged.

I'd keep an eye on that and see where the bidding goes, thats a killer car.

lol. I'm not sure I'm going to go after it. Seller is a little quiet.

The big spring Mecum auction is in my backyard in May, I bet there will be multiple '32s coming across the block.

It will exceed what I want to spend on a '32. But yeah, thats a great ride. Really dig the sprint car steering, and the Hemi, wow. It would be over the top if it had a third pedal.

Mecum has big fees compared to BAT

There’s obviously a reserve on that auction and I’m not in the market for a deuce at all, but it’s fun to put a bid in when it’s super low like that lol

Beautiful ride, tons of money in that build. I'm a bit confused as to a traditional looking build though, with a straight axle up front, and a modern IRS out back. To me, I'm so used to buggy springs, IFS feels different in a hot rod...I've own a 39 with both IFS and IRS...but never had just IRS.

I’d rather see a quick change in the rear of that car. Agree on the IRS, not really a “fit” to the build theme.

Yeah, I figured that. I believe they charge the seller, too. The ticket to get in the show/auction is also a little steep... They have a big production to pay for lol.

But, I save on shipping. The first car I posted would be almost $3,000 to ship to where I live...

… There might be a little bit of irony in this. If you ended up being the high bid… Do you have a credit card that would cover it… if you shouldn’t want it, I’ll take it…

They put a pending charge for their cut the second I bid on it.

If for some reason it got no more bids, there’s no way I’d own that car. There’s a reserve on it and when BaT asks for my best and final, it’ll just be for my high bid amount which of course wouldn’t be accepted. If it was it’d be a bigger score than the Roadrunner and I’d have to get a lift for the garage.
