NICE 32 CHEVY..........very popular car restored or street rodded.  There is only ONE model , no masters or standards. Wheelbase ,frame,  fenders, body is all the same.

unfortunately a company who re=-issued the 32 chev roadster body and fenders and hoods in steel only lasted about 5 years and went out of business otherwise all the 32 guys would still be able to buy steel repop fenders and running boards..

 I think the gas tank cover and the front gravel shield are still available from bowtie reproductions who bought most of the old stock of parts .

don't forget that $7000 US is 30% higher $$$$ cost, plus another 13% HST

LeadFreddie, that sounds like a pretty good price to me. Like Sixball said, you're going to spend it somewhere, you might as well pay it up front and get a good platform.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

32's are cool cars!  I'd pay $7,000 for it I think that's fair and you have a good foundation to build on.

That's a good looking 32 and the price is not out of line if there is paperwork attached to the car. Do the doors hang real good or do they sag when opened?

Oh God you guys  you're  not making this easier.
 No papers but no worries, don't know about the door sag, it's in Canada,  that's the CDN price, shipping will be in the $2k region. Don't know what to follow, my head, heart or pocket book...

DEAL DONE!!!!!!!!!
On its way to me and will be here next Sunday ( 13th)  Stoked beyond belief. Finally, I can jump off my into and into the rest of the forum.
I know I'm going to be asking a lot of dumb assed questions along the way, these early chevies are new to me.

I have no plans on painting it; it'll remain as in the picture. Interior seats will eventually get upholstered using old, aged leather from jackets. Wheels will be clean but used period chromies. I truly want it to look like a late 1950's early 1960's hotrod that was just "found in a barn".  I'm not talking ratrod but a build thats been hibernating for 50 years. a 235 will power it.

Heres a fun little clip of my last Chev. I dreamed of owning this since I was 15. I had a 57 as well but lost it to my first wife.
The clip is filmed in my shop and you'll see my glamour wall with many of my past projects.  This 32 will not be an overnight success story but one I plan on building over a few years.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91CZQesMORQ

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support.

Congratulations! Funny video and great pictures. Somehow I thing you will do well with this project.

Very funny video, LeadFreddie. Nice Nomad, too. Soon that video will be a reality and we will be Jonesing for spring. I think you did OK with that '32......but I'm kinda partial. ::)
When you get it I am going to ask a favor of you. I need the measurements/location of the soft top insert, but I won't bug you until unwrap your new toy. Good luck, you will get plenty of help from the guys here.

Will do. Hmm, soft top, forgot about that. My Model A was chopped 4.5 and channeled 5.5 so the hole in the roof is how i could see the stop lights. Wont be  doing that with this one.
