"i don't want to restore it, it'd just be another 32 Ford."

I dont get that. Its an 80yr old car. Restored or not, it'll still have the pedigree. Unless hes one of the ratrodders that thinks rusted = cool.

Maybe he meant restored to original? I would like to see that car brought back to the way it looked that day in '54. That would be a very cool restoration project.

Everything is there. Car has historic value being the first. I would restore all its parts, rebuild the motor, some fresh Coker tires and take it to car shows with all the old pictures.

Badass car, hope some jackass doesn't buy it and turn it into a crap rod.

Its one thing to not plan to restore it, but I cannot imagine not having plans to even get it running.

That is very awesome and a cool story. I can understand not restoring it but I thing he should get it running and driving at least.

I would leave the patina, not because it is cool patina, but because it is untouched from the 50's. The coolest part of that story is being able to look at the original pics and compare it to the current. Seeing some of the same paint that has been there for 58 years is kick ass.
