Also the ACD company in broken arrow, OK
Many of the people who have these parts are older and not "online" as you might expect.
You can send me a PM , I can give you my number
My reply, is hate to say it, but any way around it with a project you will have to learn your car and meet people in club - which is fun as a great club. This is not a car you get on the internet or go to the auto parts store to buy parts from a catalog.

I started with a car in similar to worse condition, it's been about six years for me to get it where it is decent to drive.
Neat car, see if any of the top bows exist.

My dad lightly did some body work 35 years ago just to keep it from the elements until he had the time, chance to do this proyect..... He never got around, as there was always a more important or less complicated car do. But he is very old school, his old Ford, Cadillac and Dodge restoration contacts have all died and he in his 80s is no longer interested in stuff.... he is more into traveling when his condition allows. Can someone point me out where is a good place to start looking for body parts to at least complete the shell to consider a Restomod ?
Thanks

To be specific on Pete's comment, the two speed rear end control in the center of the gauge cluster is 32 --33. The body itself would work from 31-33.

If you have the correct frame , the frame number will be stamped on the outside of the right front frame rail over the right front spring hanger. It can be hard to find due to light stamping .
The VIN plate is nailed to the top of the right wooden sill by the front seat. They usually go missing .
The numbers you are showing are part numbers .
I've messaged you with where to find the body number ( not the VIN but close!)

Gauge cluster is obviously 32-33
Body would fit 31-33 but not salon

And, Hood and Radiator Shell are incorrect, as are wheels (which in this case also would equate to incorrect axles too).

I agree , this car must be beyond restoration to its original glory... but maybe If I could just get enough parts to do a Restomod, (not a hot rod), but a car with modern confort with old looks..... Are there enough replica parts to complete the exterior? Where do you guys suggest I could buy or look for the exterior parts to complete a Restomod build for this? Are there Auburn Restomods out there? I might be commiting blasphemy with this, but I am in love with the looks of Auburns..... Very Underrated brand!

The sheet metal appears to be in good shape and is definitely worth something. There will be interest in that.

Are they replica parts available?
I have done several restorations, but all of them of very common cars, like Fords Model A.... I lack knowledge in Auburn (pardon my English, I am in Mexico and From Mexico)

I am very new to this brand, as my dad was a car restorer (hobbyst) and although he is still very active, his parkinson has limited him very much.
One of his project cars he never got around in restoring was this supposedly Auburn.
I know nothing about this vehicle except it has been in his possesion dissasembled for 35 years at least , no rust , always in a warehouse and in the Arizona type of desert, so the metal is basically pristine.
Can you guys help me identify it? Is it an Auburn?
Thanks
