Before I forget, let me know what classifieds you guys have found that have good deals pop up now and then! I know the normal ones, but there are so many out there, I don't know which ones guys would post a 32 Ford or parts etc!

Check this out:

Great site! I have not seen so many 32's in one spot. But I guess it does go to show, build whatever you want, how you want it, because the chances of finding a buyer may be slim with so many cars on the market. But, sometimes you just get lucky and find that 1 buyer and it's all over!

You never know about selling a car. I was at a show last Saturday, and a guy asked me if I wanted to sell my car. I told him I wasn't all that interested in selling it, but said if someone came up to me and absolutely had to have it and was willing to pay me what I would would need to have, I might consider it. He asked me what that number was, and when I told him he didn't flinch. If he calls me with an offer, I guess I would have to give it some serious thought. I can always build another one.

Must be a bit of that going around Lynn. At the GG event in Puyallup toward end of July I had two different guys approach me the same way on my '36 coupe even though I had no sign. I tossed out the same number to both and they didn't leave. One spent about a half hour climbing over, under, around and through the car, the other almost an hour.....plus taking a bunch of pictures. Serious buyers? In my case probably not, haven't heard from either since. Maybe they were really scouting info for their own similar/same cars and just figured they'd have better access if they pretended to be potential buyers.

That's usually the "Game they play" Bob
Too many "Bebacks" In this world
Same as "Dreamers"

Beautiful HiBoys!!

I don't care where they are or what they are buildin.
If Kyle gave me a body, I wouldn't drive to pick it up.
Pure JUNK.

Don, I was reporting the information, that's all. It seems that he's burnt a few bodies. There are plenty of manufacturers who are more deserving of someone's business.
Will you be driving to Sac end of the month?

He's done more than burn a few bodies, but that's another story.
Won't B makin Sac, goin to Good Guys Fort Worth.
Leavin on the 29th.
Just a kool 2400 mile round trip.
Gotta get 'em out and drive em.

He's still trying to sell the "chopper gun is better than hand laid" story.

It's too bad, because he has good ideas. If Dwight is running the operation, things will probably improve, but when you are shelling out that much money, it is going to be tough not to be gun-shy regarding the Gibbon name.

I'm not even providing a link, because I wouldn't touch anything from a Gibbon mold . . . again, that is.

I've said this before, but if I were to do another rod, it would be an N&N.

Jack, you are right on the money. There are in fact two gibbon companys doing business now, one in Nebraska and the one in Virginia who bought molds from the origional Gibbon in Nebraska. I've never done any business with the Nebraska guy but the Virginia guy, "Shooter" got over $700 of my money and never sent the parts. They won't respond to emails or answer phone calls now. This order was made in Nov. 2011. Nice huh?

My '32 has an N&N body and frame and I LOVE IT!!!!!{nice guy also,,}
