I just checked Hemming Motor news for cars similar to the one you seek. There aren't any listed. A running restorable original '32 is going to be very tough. There aren't even any rusted out hulks any more. You might find an amateur earlier restoration for under $30k.

Three window or 5 window. Neither will be cheap, but I suspect that the difference between the two is significant.

Which '32 coupe are you inquiring about? Standard (5-window), sport (soft, non-folding top), or deluxe (3-window)? The three vary considerably in asking prices in any condition.

We need a lot more information and if you can provide a complete rundown of the condition (hopefully pictures) it would be really helpful. Without more info, we'd all be coming up with huge guesses.

Not in line of your dream machine but the U.P.I. 32 body & body in piece form has recently taken a price hike as well, so far the brookville steel roadster & roadster pickup bodies on occasion remain more affordable not counting the obvious accessories such as pillars top etc. but could get a project under way.

Ask for, or take, plenty of photos and post them.

On decent 5 window coupes I'm seeing prices from $50K to 70K. For a nice 3 window they are listed at $60K to tapping on the door of $100K.

Phrases like "all original" and "32 Coupe" very rarely describe something actually available for purchase at ANY price.
