Looking for a Ford '32, are VINs any help in finding a real one?

Hi,

I am looking for a Ford '32.  I do not want a reproduction/replica.  I have been told that a 9 digit vin with no letters and all numbers is in fact a real '32.

Is this true? I thought the vins have some letters.

Any decoder would be great.

Finally, I assume builders put vins on their reproductions.  Anyway to look at a vin on a reproduction and know who built it.

Thanks,
Jim  

There is a difference between a model B and a V8 VIN on a '32. I'm too tired to look it up, but I think a V8 has an 18 in the VIN.

Good luck If you don't have big-dough, the real ones bring top dollar.
