to throw in my 2 cents: I know I'm little off base. BUT I have a 33 phaeton that is body #62 with ID# 18-175000. (not exact # ) how is this possible? I have know about this car since around 1961-65. I have had it since 1975 , only two owners since then, and I know both of them. frame # is on all 3 places and is same on pink slip (California title) any answer or just more questions

Great picture of the black 32 .Whizz ,Its likely in amongst the last few 32s produced but used the 32 designation but 33 body ,most production of the new modes started in the last three months of the previous year ,

Love it especially being un-chopped.

It would sure make this thread more interesting if you could submit a picture of your 3W with your #. If you have trouble posting pics, e-mail them to me and I'll post them: [email protected]

Conair007 · 11-29-2013, 12:19 PM

Ok ill send you a pic of my 3 window k

denson1932 · 11-29-2013, 07:33 PM

Also if owners providing info on their '32 3WC could attest to 'Rumble lid' or 'Trunk lid' bodied coupe.....and let's reiterate that the "VIN number" stamped on the frame and/or upper belhousing(4 cylinder) or transmission(V-8) and "BODY number" stamped on the Murray Body Number tag are not the same, not to be confused, or not to be interchanged..... nor do they necessarily correlate....and finally a pix of Murray body tag or at least provide complete Murray body number including B520A or B520B designation....thanks in advance....

ckh · 11-29-2013, 08:40 PM

My 3 window is #B520B-5714. It's a rumble seat car with late sun visors. As far as I can tell it was manufactured in July of '32. A friend down the street has an original 3 window also but the body tag is missing.

It's been observed that since we have been shown several late production 3Ws and yet the highest body tag # we've found is 12660, that it's probably correct that the B520A and B520B body tag #s each began with 1. I guess we'll know for sure if we run across an A and a B with the same number.

I know this is a little off topic but I am looking for a 32 3 window coupe that is a drivable street rod. I want an original body. How much does it affect the value with or without the serial number tag? How much do fiberglass fenders affect the value? How much can I expect to pay? and anyone know of any for sale? complete or projects? Thanks Steve

Hi - I am considering selling this original body. Murray 13407. Keith

BoxCar Tom · 01-04-2014, 02:45 PM

There is a 1932 Ford 3Win Coupe currently on EBAY, item number: 281236283911. The listing description includes a Fudgy Serial Number (VIN) and numerous pictures, one of the pictures clearly shows Murray Body Number # B520A - 9948. Do you want to include this on the list?
