Best early V8 to buy

[Tinker]

Just for fun... So its fair to say, "general" speaking hierarchy:


truck
4d sedan
tudor
5w coupe
truck delivery
3w coupe
roadster
phaeton

My preference is a 1934 Ford 3 Window -but now pricey.
However whatever you get I would suggest an unmodified car. It would not appear that you own one yet. There is something really nice in owning and driving a car that is just as it left the factory over 80 years ago -Karl

My bucket list car is a '35 roadster, but I'd take it in a totally different direction.

Looks somewhat stock, except lowered all around with one of those new, aluminum, fuel injected 427 SBC, 6 speed, and Champ quick change for running gear.

Something so cool about frying the tires for miles in an old Ford.

Or what is the best oil.....

Don't overlook the beauty and functionality/utility of a Fordor Sedan. I got hooked on four door sedans when I first saw a '34 with all four of its 'suicide doors' open - a thing of beauty. But then, the '34 was the last year of 4 suicide doors....

Michael,


It's a facebook era thing; the other side of the coin of the infamous one herein.

I like 33s,34s, 35s, 36s, 37s, 38s, 39s & 40s. Coupes and roadsters, tudoors, etc,

I like you Indianapolis Racer, I really do. Same for all y’all guys but for the sake of all that is good and descent please please don’t buy another beautiful Ford and screw it up with a bastard engine.

Love it. So there is no bad 32-36 vehicle.

[DavidG]

Well said, but I'd stretch it through '39 with the possible exception of the preceding model year.

Dang. I didn't realize all four doors were suicide. That's bad ass!

It's crazy what a original ford invokes.

It's well done. subtle.

Chopped and caddy sombreros. Not that it needed it.

I understand , the enjoyment is in the search , so far -1933 roadster stock , 1933 coupe three window with Chev V8 full fendered , 1932 Ford full fendered 8BA , 1934 coupe 3 window pristine stock .

[Tinker]

Ya know, I look at all the 32 3 windows that are mod'ed. they are great. But have you really looked a stock 32 3w. Maybe there is not many. They look amazing.

[Tinker]

Then how do you argue that this is not a beautiful car...
