Best early V8 to buy This summer I plan to add another Ford to my collection , I have a nice 32 five window 1953 built hot rod and a 1939 Deluxe Coupe with a 53 Olds in it and a 32 highboy roadster . Everyone says early Fords are declining in values but I don't care I like them . Will buy a 32-36 Ford thinking 3 window or roadster , what one should I lean towards ?

Re: Best early V8 to buy If I were in your shoes, I would look for a 33 roadster.

Re: Best early V8 to buy Buy a nice 35 or 36 3 window Model 48-720 since you don't have one.
Just add hydraulic brakes. 31513 were produced. Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6xdj9Rq4R4 |
Re: Best early V8 to buy I like the 36 3 window or a 34 3 window. Both are pricey for nice ones. I've had open cars and they were fun when I was a lot younger, but now I like to roll up the windows on a cold or rainy day.

Re: Best early V8 to buy Maybe think about a fat fender. My favorite (obviously) is the early model year '41 business coupe with the narrow door (no back seat) and without the extra (and unattractive) chrome of the late model year. Slick looking; more roomy inside; has the hydraulic brakes. And generally priced lower that other years of comparable quality.

Re: Best early V8 to buy I don't see a problem here! ! ??Buy one of each. You won't be sorry. A bit lighter in the wallet but the grin on your face will be ear to ear.

Re: Best early V8 to buy 35 three window!
But I’m a little biased. :) |
Re: Best early V8 to buy Already have a 39 Deluxe coupe .

So the 36 is a little rarer. |
Re: Best early V8 to buy Are you sure that a brand new fifty thousand dollar pickup truck isn't more practical? Me neither. I like the 1935 best.

Re: Best early V8 to buy IMHO the best value for money - 38 std or deluxe coupe.
Google some examples in black. |

Don't forget these guys, cut that number in half or less. any 32-36 3w would be alright. Not sure if you'd make money, but that's okay I guess. Like land, they are not making anymore. But everyone wants land. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...1&d=1552013165 |

Re: Best early V8 to buy 1936 Ford Deluxe Roadster, Model 68-710
Keep it 100% original! You will not regret your purchase! Gnolnor |
Re: Best early V8 to buy I'm going to depart a little here. In 20-30 yrs from now, the only old cars that might be allowed on the road will be grandfathered originalish cars. Maybe not....
Most rat rods will be scrapped anyways in that time frame. |
Re: Best early V8 to buy Most rat rods look to already be scrapped.

I did that once with a 31 Roadster trying to find a vacuum leak! |

I do run a full time in-car vacuum gauge in my 36 just for fun. . |
