Dyno Don Flathead?!? The one and only Dyno Don Nicholson built, and dyno tuned, the flathead in this cool 1932 Ford Three Window Coupe project. And it has only the dyno time on it, so it’s fresh and ready to rock. The car itself is awesome, with really good nice sheetmetal, most of which is actually original to the car, and a chassis setup that really speaks to the traditional hot rodders out there who like their cars to sit and drive just so. While we dig a 1932 Ford Roadster, we are really more into coupes and this one is a bad ass.
With the aforementioned sheetmetal, flathead, chassis, wheels, tires, and all the other parts that come with it, this could be a great project for someone. Give the boys at Stokers a call, they are the ones that have it for sale, and they’ll give you any more details or photos that you might want.
Here is all the info from the seller, so read it all and check out all 24 photos we’ve got of this car:

Strange engine was built 10 yrs ago cause Don Nicholson died 10 yrs ago.
I say approx. 10 years ago. I forget the year, but it was supposedly the last engine he built before he passed. I have the magazine artcile from the built as well as a plaque from Don to be mounted on the engine.
Just the car for entering into UK vintage car trials and the Lands End trial as it would eat all those muddy slopes for breakfast!
Think I would clear the garage for that. I don’t have the cheese or the time, but I sure is dreamin’
