I would go for it, pick up an extra set of wheels, paint them black with black wall tires. Keep the original wheels and white walls if you decide to bolt them back on. Parts availability is going to be easy.

They look like they came off the hood of a GMC General.

I thought that a possibility too, but note 1932 GA plates didn't use a "-" after the first 2 digits as did 1933.
Wrong colors to be 33, even in a black and white photo they would be opposite.

Looks to me like a 32 Georgia plate.

I met the original owner about 40 years ago, he was buying up local old junk yards and hauling everything to this place, he had his work cut out for him. Fred Cushing was his name and I believe that he passed away a couple of years ago, he was very knowledgeable and specialized in all makes of cars and trucks 1924-72 (still have his business card)
From what I know, his son was out of state and trying to liquidate the estate, I'm sure that would be quite the task.
18 acres with buildings and cars for 400k is a good deal when the average selling price of a home in NH right now is 480k., less than 1,000 homes for sale statewide and 1000s of buyers. serious research on junkyard laws in NH would be the best way to proceed with caution.

Uniform cleaning companies have many different styles of used but clean shop towels, I have purchased them in 50# bags at a reasonable price.

My son is in the Army and was going to be stationed in Fairbanks in 2016, so he asked old dad to drive one of the 2 cars up from Fort Campbell KY. December of 2016 they picked me up after flying into Nashville and we headed out on a Monday morning with 2 cars loaded to the max (dogs, cats, grandkids, clothes and plenty of diapers), both cars were prepped with studded snows tires and we were about to set out on what I considered "A trip of a lifetime".
My daughter in law had the trip planned to get through the states until we got into Alberta and then we would just take it day by day with no particular planned stops. Driving through the mid-west states had some amazing scenery. Then we get on the ALCAN highway and I was blown away. (never actually did any research ahead of time to see what we would be in for, I was asked to drive a car because I love driving in terrible weather conditions).
Anyway, if you ever have a chance to drive the ALCAN highway, I highly recommend it, summer would be best if you could take your time and do it in a couple of weeks, the wildlife is the most amazing part, still many old cars and military vehicles to see along the way.
If I can ever sort pictures on my computer half as good as I can sort my old Plymouth, I would attach a bunch pictures.

In the mid to late 80s I had 6 of these 1974-79 models, believe it or not these things were tough as nails, great in the snow and very impressive in the woods with the 4x4s. My first daily driver was a 78 cvcc civic, beat the hell out of it, rolled it into a brook, flipped it back over and drove it out. It was the first car that I ever had seen reach 250,000 miles. At the end of it's life it was rotted pretty bad but still ran like a top.

I will be looking forward to following as this moves forward, also thanks for including the history of the building.

Not trying to piss you off, but you screwed up twice in 11 years. You need to KNOW the shop owner, not necessarily on a personal level. I have so many questions.
What kind of restoration shop to look for: What else do they do? collision work? (restoration takes up valuable space in a collision shop)
What type of reputation do they have? results of previous jobs? qualified support staff? office staff to run the business side? what does the shop look like inside and out? do you just cut your losses and dump this project on someone else? 40 years of ownership? how old are you? are you retired and thinking of learning this trade part time and maybe finish it yourself while working for someone else? (everyone needs skilled labor and it's getting harder to find) and my most important question is, do you know how many hours of labor would be needed to get this Mustang to where you want it?
If you can answer these questions to yourself, go get your car and break out the checkbook.
I truly do not intend this to be a mean or derogatory reply, these questions come up more than you would think. Billy

Scary thought but 40 years ago was 1983.
That is a scary thought, I don't like that math.

I like the style of the lines, the back of the car does look a little like they spent so much time designing the nose and now we just need to get it in to production. I think it's a good deal, luckily it's too far away from me.

One more thing I should have added under Observations: If your there to sell be ready to sell at 7:00AM, that is when they open and Hershey is only once a year. Many people with a pocket full of cash can't see what is under your tarps if you don't uncover them till 8-9 am and they most likely will not come back around for a second trip.

My Hershey experience for 2023 started last year, thinking I would be going to sell this year but health issues dictated that was not going to happen. (maybe next year)
Changed some doctors appointment around so I could at least attend.
Headed out early Monday from NH and arrived around noon, couldn't check in to hotel till 3:00PM so I may as well go check the fields, found it was the best time to buy my brochure.
Got up early Tuesday morning to get on the field by 7:00AM (advertised opening time), walked for 10 hours (kept telling myself do this in moderation, didn't listen) and picked up a few prewar Plymouth parts, met some Plymouth guys that I have wanted to meet for some time and also shared some great stories. (most likely my highlight), My legs, feet and even my hips were killing me as I was absolutely smoked, so I went to dinner at a great place called SMOKED, had a nice ice-cold beer and a delicious brisket sandwich.
Wednesday: Not going to walk as much as I did on Tuesday, did it anyway and found a couple more parts, renewed my membership and bought a new AACA t-shirt to ad to my wardrobe. Checked out the cars at RM Auction.
Thursday, didn't think I could do another day of walking so I headed home.
My observations:
Food was great with plenty of variety, although hot as hell and couldn't find any ice cream.
Many vacant spaces, many just used for parking (not sure how to fix it, above my pay grade)
Mobility scooters are one thing that is needed, but golf carts, bikes, motorcycles etc. (rules, you have rules enforce them and grow some balls or don't have rules at all)
God willing, I will be back next year.

P.S. Got nailed for speeding in NY on the way home, oh well guilty as charged.

I have 5 new 525/550-18 tires for sale, never installed and have been in dry dark storage for years.
Maybor General Portugues made. $500 for the set. Can deliver to Hershey
-
Original DCPD radiator from 49 Plymouth, can deliver to Hershey $100 Great condition.
-
I have an old Ford? radiator, not sure what model it came from, looks to be in pretty good condition.
Core measurements are in pictures, looking to identify and see if anyone needs it. Would most likely be more to ship than it is worth but can bring to Hershey. Let me know if any interest.

Look for part numbers under the rust on back side.

Ed, what is the newest White car known to exist? I read that White would build to special order only up to 1936?
-
For some logical reason, I do not think the Hudson will ever look that nice again.

My Plymouth had directionals installed in the 50s and cut through the body, I got them functional rather than trying to fill the holes. Never had a passengers side taillight and that confuses the hell out of people in todays world, good thing everyone understands the one finger wave and profanity.

Street Rod Castoffs - A Great Way to Buy Parts
in General Discussion
Posted
About 10 years ago I met up with a guy advertising 32 Plymouth parts, turned out to be a 31 PA coupe that he had just purchased as an all original turnkey car and was turning into a street rod, I thought that would be one less original car left and not something I would have done, so anyway I purchased everything except the body and interior. I traded many parts to get things I needed to get my car on the road.
I do not look down on this hot rod/street rod/resto mod way of thinking at all because it helped so many other people along the way. I also keep in contact with the guy I purchased from and met many other Plymouth PA/PB folks from that nice little PA coupe deal.
