I'd love a 32 highboy but the prices are still way up there. I drove a buddy's T bucket about 20 years ago, total blast but just a short trip cruiser. he didn't have front brakes and stopping sucked in that one, if I get one it'll have to have front discs.
His was a 400 cu.in. blown motor built by a pro, had to be 550 hp. I dumped it into second on the freeway once and punched it, lit up the plastic tires and almost looped it.
Don't need that kind of power. The best thing about a T is you don't have to go fast. Everyone knows it's killer, so you have nothing to prove. Just putting around town on a nice Sunday afternoon, getting thumbs up and pulling into a drive-in and talking nuts and bolts with gear heads. Doesn't get much better than that. I know they're not the safest thing on the road but I used to race a blown flatbottom so I know how to back out of it when it gets weird
The prices are pretty low right now on em because of less disposable income. I could get a nice clean one for around $20k. A 32 in the same condition will cost twice as much.
Here's a couple different examples of what I'm leaning towards:
