Oh come on now. We know it is purple. But it is a good cause. I saw a bumper sticker that even my wife liked - Save the Taa Taas.“Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it”--Lou Holtz.

Somethinf lurking in my garage
Something is starting to look pretty familiar out in my garage! I know I have seen this car somewhere before, I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe it was someplace called Paradise Road????

I bet the original would bring really stupid money if it went on the block. It's a perfect example of how a car that is far from perfect proportionately and finishwise can be so cool that tons of people want it or one like it. I wouldn't even want to guess where the bidding would stop if it went on Barrett Jackson. I bet the current owner wouldn't have to work for a while.

THANKS prprrp for the kind words on the coupe I am building!!!! I do take a lot of pride in it
. As for what the original coupe would at auction, all I can say is that it would be WAY OUT of my price range 
. Once while at a car show I over heard a guy trying to buy the original coupe from the owner and he was offering ONE MILLION DOLLARS for the coupe and the current owner could keep possession of the coupe! NO LIE!!!! The owner Rick Figari turned him down quick! I truly believe that if the original coupe went to Barret Jackson that it would probably set a new record for money paid for one car. As for the coupe I am working on, I haven't really touched it for sometime due to starting a new job, cold weather and the holidays but I am hoping to get back on it starting in January. I did want to mention that if you guys REALLY want to see the quality of the New Age Motorsports 32 bodies go over to the New Age Motorsports website (www.newage-motorsports.com) and click on the New Age Motorsports Video Archives link to see a virtual tour of their 1932 ford 3" chopped coupe and stock height coupe bodies. THESE VIDEO'S ARE REALLY KOOL!!!!! I hope to have NEW pictures for all of you at the first of the year!!
Rick
