I will gather all the info when i go back to where it is in the next few days. I haven't yet brought it home. Im doing some deep cleaning/remodel on my house and im going to have a long dumpster in my driveway.. and i cant imagine this is going to be easy to move with 2 flat tires and 4500lbs from my front lawn to my driveway.

And i know all about diehard owners and there love to keep a car authentic. Ive been around cars daily since i was born, with my dad and my grandfather.

BMW owners are still far worst then anyone that i know when it comes to cars haha!

EDIT: EVERYTHING i dont use and comes off this car is to be put forsale. I hate to throw anything out someone else can use.

EDIT: If you want to share information about this car or send me some helpful info my email is Eclipsegt24@nycap.rr.com

This is not what i expected to find as i went to a house local looking at a old ford coupe that had been sitting outside covered since before i was born (im 23 as of now 7/28/11). I had looked at it everyday riding the bus by it...now fast forward and i have the time/money for a major project such as this. I go upto ask and the new owners of the house wont even let me look at it. Wouldnt tell me anything about it...i think i knew more then they did...

anyways about a block away is a small car junkyard/scraping place. My friend pointed it out. At first i thought it was a Studebaker... as soon as i seen those front fenders.. i knew exactly what it was.

1932 Sedan

Above the VIN plate it says <|156440|> Not sure what that is.


Plans: (Restorers look away haha)

Engine/Mechanical
~Toyota 2JZGTE motor and Standard transmission (They come in 5 and 6 Speed)
~~3L 24 Valve DOHC Twin Turbo Straight 6. ~276hp Stock
~~~(Single medium sized turbo will be used)
~Front and rear Coilover Suspension
~New axles/spindles/etc I want 5x114 lug pattern all-around. (ALOT of wheels made now a days are this type of bolt pattern.)

Exterior
~Original gas tank is coming out and New fuel Cell is going behind the rear seats.
~Roll pan to connect the two rear fenders will serve as a bumper.
~Original Rear tire placement is not going to be used.
~Need a front bumper
~Replace the rear door handles
~Roof... i have no idea about.

Interior
~Custom dash and floor pans.
~Driver and Passenger seat are either going to be racing seats or just updated bucket seats.
~Behind D&P seats is a bench seat

Thats pretty much it for now.
