New/ OLD 32

While travelin out to Lars in June a buddy from Alabama (runnin with the Greybeards) tells me about a 32 5 winder he knew about, that was built in the 60's.
Really peaked my interest, get back and it's still on my mind.
Then get a call from a guy that wants to buy my roadster. Well that went great, so now I got a pocket full of $$$'s and no car (except the 34 Vicky that isn't quite finished) So I make a call to Alabama and 3 days later I own an all steel 32 5 winder with a lot of history, 327 with 3x2 350 trans and a 9"rear.
Put a set of tires on it, new front shocks and have already put over 2000 miles on it.
While @ Salina KS K>K>O>A> show Dan Greenberg did a photoshoot on it for the mags.
This is a 100 % RUST FREE no patch panels REAL DEAL HOT ROD.

Soooo Coool!!! Did it come with the Oklahoma plate or did you add that?

I added the plate Randy, it hadn't been registered since 1969

Dan Greenberg takes a nice photo and I do admire the way he captures the cars beside old buildings to compliment the car. Some more excellent photo's for your filing cabinet Don. I like the '32 but personally prefer the '33 / '34 Fords but I wish I had the coin to purchase that car from you whenever the for sale notice goes on it.

I live not too far from Don and just had to see this car up close. I was truly impressed with what I saw. It is what I would describe as an unrestored 1960's "hot rod". It is the real deal. The car most certainly has character. The body and paint show their age with small dings, minor fender bead damage and faded and chipped multiple layers of lacquer paint that has been spot primed with red oxide primer, and yet it still looks good. The 327 Chevy engine is as quiet as any I can remember; just a fantastic running engine. The rest of the running gear was the basic TH350, nine inch Ford, Posies parallel rear leaf setup, and straight axle front end that was popular for the sixties era. The ride we made in this car was a blast. I was very surprised at how tight the body was. As I mentioned earlier, this car has "true character"; a real "hot rod". Thanks for the ride Don.

Very cool, that was quite a find.

i'd like to ride in it ..... but once don got me folded up and stuffed in it there would be no room for him. :)

Porch dog, why does Don have to ride along, surely he trusts you to take it for a spin and bring it back. :LOL:

Shine, believe it or not, once I took the shelf out and shoved the seat back 5 " and had the back cushion redone, you and I would both fit no problem. Had a guy as big or bigger than you in it up in Salina cruisin around.
Lotsa room in this puppy

Wow, nice find! Good Luck with her.

Enjoyed yer visit, now get back @ yer 32 and geterdone.

It's pretty amazing this car has aged so well. Great find Don!

That picture is amazing. It looks like a painting.

Ain't mine no more, went to the new "Caretaker" last week.
Here's it's replacement

What engine is that?

Excellent question Lynn as it has me scratching the grey matter too.:confused:

Is that a Packard V8?

Maybe a 330 Hemi?

Believe it's an early Caddy engine, like pre-'55? Don will have to fill in the blanks, confirm or deny....

I think I agree with Roger.

That car was advertised in our C/L as well, and was listed as a Cad.

Yep a 331 Cad, 1953, all new guts with a mild cam. Runs as strong as any SBC I've ever owned 4 sure
