1986 250r or 1932 ford coupe?

[200x newby]

Well I have a 1986 250r the black one in my signature and Im looking at a 1932 ford coupe. If I get the ford then Im going to sell the 250r for room and to fund the project. What would you all do?

Honestly, if it is a real ford and not a fiberglass replica / kit car. I would go for the car. Those definatly bring in a pretty penny.

All steel needs patch panels. Just the body and frame. This has been my dream car since I was a kid.

Definitely a fan of the 32 coupe....... but if you could swing it... it'd make a wild tow vehicle to get that 'R' around town..... how cool would it be to see a hot-rod at a car show with a killer three wheeler in tow? Painted to match of course, lol. :beer

What style are you planning on building ( street rod, cruiser, stock ).

I have done a little metal work on the thirties cars. It is one of the easiest cars to do. Thinker metal and not so many body lines

Id go with the 32 ford ....250r's are dime a dozen and if you decide you want another im sure someone if not yourself will find you one! The Fords are great looking cars all done up!

Yeah I'm gonna have to go for the 32 Ford also...

yep 32 ford always like a nice vivky style of them! good luck!

oh and if your plannin on seleling the R to pay for some of the work we might be able to figure out some kind of deal for some of the work, you coul dbring it down to my shop here and GA!

I plan on building the same style as the one that Paul Le Mat drove in the 1973 hit "American Graffiti". The only thing I may change is the color. Heres a link to the one he drove. http://thehotrodshop.net/images/Rick.gif

Whatever you do, don't use a damn Chevy engine. A Ford with a pansy-ass Chevy in it is blasphemy, especially considering the kind of Fords that can be built today.

Not to hijack or anything but....:)

Id put a chevy in a ford anyday any time and I drive a FORD. For the $ per HP the Chevy has the better performance HANDS DOWN!!!! (yes yes with enough money a ford motor can be built nicely!):lol:
