Discovered in an actual barn after being parked since 1955, this 1932 Ford Roadster is a genuine barn find. The vehicle retains many original features, including early single-finger-hold hood hooks and doors with extra holes for side curtains, indicating its early 1932 production.

The original side curtains and top remain intact, bolted to the doors. The leather upholstery, though aged, is also original. The dashboard houses vintage Stewart-Warner gauges, and under the dash is a gasoline-fueled Southwind heater alongside a rare Firestone aftermarket radio. Historically, the car was a mild hot rod in the 1940s, with modifications such as a filled cowl vent and rotated windshield stanchions to achieve a laid-back windshield angle. It retains its fenders and an unaltered grille shell, topped with a ’33 Ford pickup radiator cap. The front axle and rear end are stock. Originally equipped with a four-cylinder engine, it was later upgraded with components from a 1939 Ford, including hydraulic brakes, transmission, pedals, taillights, and horns. The current engine is a 59A flathead V8, which turns freely and has clean oil, though it has not been started recently. More details could be found in a nice article here.

The car’s history traces back to a ranch in Eureka, Northern California, where it was used for towing and hauling, evidenced by a custom angle-iron bumper hitch and modifications to the tail panel and rumble seat area. It comes with a 1946 pink slip and retains its original license plates, with the rear displaying a 1955 tag—the last year it was registered. Find it for sale at $60,000 here in Dripping Springs, TX.
