Hello @55chev yes, the aution ended and did not hit the reserve but it is still available. What did you have in mind? Im uncertain of the rear axle ratio. I believe 355 gears but wpuld need to double check and get it up on the lift to be certain. Thanks
I see your highest bit is $20,000. I was wondering where the sale stands right now. It doesn’t seem like an auction so you’re just taking offers? What’s the rear axle ratio?

Hello. This is one from my personal collection. I originally purchased it in the $20s out of Minnesota. You can see by the pictures she was in very clean condition to begin with. A lot of money and my labor invested over the past 4yrs bringing her to what she is today. In a land of 30s Fords its always nice to stand out at the shows. Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Thanks!
