Im in hot pursuit of one. Lifelong goal to own one. The search is on.
I've got go-fast cars, looking for a cruiser.
Post up what you have. I'm all ears on what/what not to seek.
I've missed out on a couple cars, still looking. Looking at 32-34 Roadsters & Coupes!

Not mine but a customer and friend’s 34 Ford. It’s a pretty well built car, only real issue he’s had with the car is the LED brake lights not working. We fixed them once and went out again recently. Solution was replaced them brand new ones, still doing good.


Pick your poison.

37 ford coupe, 351c with MPI EFI. Plan to add 18s in the front instead of the current 17s.

One thing to keep in mind is the pre -1935 cars are pretty small so if you re a larger guy they can suck to drive. My father has a 31 coupe so I've experienced it.

I share your dreams, OP. As a teenager I lusted for a 33 or 34 Ford 3 or 5 window coupe. I ended up building a 23t bucket as a teen. Those things a dangerous.

I even have a 55 chevy truck on bags etc but you guys will really hate that because it has a coyote engine in it. Omg
That's ironic because I found a 33 chevy coupe. All original steel body/frame. Not bad for a start. Solid car, just surface rust. Arizona California car.
The first thing in my mind was to piss the bow tie boys off by mounting a SBFord!
I'm finding, the Chevy all steel early cars are fairly inexpensive in comparison to the 32-34 original steel Ford coupes and Roadsters. They are pretty pricey.
