Too Good to be True ?
This might have been posted or talked about already but, if so, I didn't see anything on it. Therefore, I am gonna say that "I sure hope this is for real" - - - - A metal 5 window Duece Coupe from FoMoCo ???? If so then WAY TO GO FOMOCO !

I bet it's true. I remember a similar deal a while back about the Drake 39/40 coupe shells. Apparently MPI either baught Drake out or something and got Ford MoCo to license it and they were marketing that way. Either way it is a cool deal.Ryan

I believe this is just a licensing agreement between Ford and United Pacific.
The bodies are being stamped overseas and assembled here.
They appear to be a very quality piece with a price tag of around $20,000.

It's indeed cool, but they sure get that total build cost headed to the moon in a hurry. Dropping $25K to $35K (or more, depending on how far you go - Brookville's '32 3 Window body alone is $25K....) on a new steel body is a springboard to an upper five figures build, or well into the six figures if a guy's paying to have it done. Not sure how United Pacific is going to get the quality they want with China stampings, but gotta admit their offering looks fantastic - 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe Catalog Looks like Edelbrock used body 001 for their 75th Anniversary Coupe that Brizio did for them.Last edited by rspears; 01-16-2014 at 06:42 AM.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I was pretty dang surprised when I saw 55 and 57 chevy shells in Jeggs for sale. $20k for a sedan and $25k I think for a convertible. $32k or something as a roller gasser. Heck yes it is a lot of money for sure. But, for the guy that can't find a nice shell to start with and maybe can paint but not do body work, the $20k might be worth it to them. To me, not so much. I'm on the kids and wife plan so it has to be way south of $20k. HahaRyan
