1932 Dodge 3-Window Coupe — Rare Long Wheelbase Straight Eight, Family Owned

1932 Dodge 3-Window Coupe — Rare Long Wheelbase Straight Eight, Family Owned for Over 40 Years, Now a 440 V8

Here's a truly rare pre-war classic with hot rod soul — a 1932 Dodge 3-Window Coupe, originally built as a long wheelbase straight-eight model. Few survived, making this a special find for Mopar collectors and vintage rod enthusiasts alike.

This Dodge has been cherished by the same family for more than four decades. It was thoughtfully built by a WWII Navy aviator and Chrysler engineer, blending originality with performance upgrades true to the Mopar spirit. It now runs a strong RB 440ci V8 (approx. 420 HP) built by Mancini Racing, sounds amazing, nice cam with a Holley carb, headers, and a TorqueFlite automatic transmission with a 3.23 rear end. A Mustang II front end with rack & pinion steering and tilt column make it more driver-friendly, while keeping the feel authentic with manual brakes and steering.

Painted in Champagne Mist Metallic, this coupe won “Best Paint” honors over 25 years ago — and still shows well today. The leather interior was finished at the same time and has held up well too. Even with noted flaws and wear expected with age and use, a fair overall description is that it is a sound driver, for those of us with cruise and casual show interest. The odometer shows 17,496 miles, believed to be original since the build. Recent updates include a carburetor rebuild, brake system refresh, resealed fuel tank, and a tune-up …it's ready to enjoy.
