Vehicle Description
Pro-built all-steel rod. Brookville body with Precision Hot Rods
chassis. Fuel injected Chevrolet small block V8 with 4-speed
automatic transmission. 4-wheel disc brakes, independent front
suspension. Stunning interior. A high-end build priced at half the
cost of duplication.It is always our advice to buy someone else's
finished project and then tweak it to taste, and that is especially
true with street rods. The build cost on this stunning 1930 Ford
was a six-figure bill, but it's done exactly the way most guys do
it: Chevy V8 power, a custom chassis with coil-overs, and a
comfortable interior ready to cruise. With just over 400
test-and-tune miles on the clock, this proven show-winner
represents a whole lot of car for the money. They started with a
steel Brookville body, which is arguably better than Henry's stuff,
and used only the best components to finish it out. Obviously,
starting with all-new steel means laser-straight bodywork and zero
issues under the skin, which is always reassuring. The grille up
front says 1932 Ford, but the rest is true to the 1930 Ford
roadster on which it is based, including the handsome belt moldings
and ideal proportions that have made it a favorite for decades. The
sizzling yellow paint is exactly right?not too light and not
pastel?and really makes this roadster stand out in a crowd. LED
lighting is a high-tech addition that works rather well, and dig
the exhaust peeking out from under that custom roll pan in back.
Very cool!The beautifully crafted interior is based around a custom
bench seat with bucket-style backrests that are individually
adjustable to make this roadster a lot more comfortable than its
ancestors. There's a bit more room inside, so even tall drivers can
get comfortable, and with a tilt steering column, the fit can be
custom-tailored. Neatly tailored carpets feature matching binding
to tie it all together and there's a cool consolette around the
shifter to match. Gauges are by Classic Instruments with big,
easy-to-read dials that cover all the engine's vitals. There's also
a hidden stereo system, although I'd argue that if you're worried
about the radio, you're not doing it right. Lap belts were added
for safety, and there's extensive sound-deadening throughout to
make it comfortable on warm days. Everything is thoughtfully
finished to make this car comfortable and easy to live with,
including a storage pouch behind the front seat. There's even a
good-sized trunk that has been upholstered to match and includes
trick LED lighting, a nice touch!The engine is a 355 cubic inch
Chevy V8, which slots in to the Ford's engine bay without issues.
On top there's a Holley multi-point EFI system that makes this
potent small block extremely user friendly. No choke, no pumping
the throttle to get it to start, just turn the key and go! It also
looks cool sitting on top of the engine like that, along with a lot
of polished and chrome dress-up. Aluminum cylinder heads help build
power and, of course, the ignition is electronic. There's a big
radiator up front, and the custom stainless hoses add to the
well-dressed look. It's backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission
whose overdrive gear makes this a fantastic highway flier, and
there are 3.73 gears in the Ford 9-inch rear end. Using Precision's
'32 frame rails gets you that neat little relief just below the
cowl, and the suspension consists of A-arms up front and a 4-link
out back, all with fully adjustable Viking Performance coil-over
shocks to hold it up. There's a power-assisted disc brake at each
corner and rack-and-pinion steering is effortless, even at low
speeds. The all-stainless exhaust system has been polished to look
fantastic underneath, and it does sound awesome without being
annoying. Staggered American Racing wheels are the right choice and
carry 205/45/17 front and 85/40/17 rear Continental radials.This
car also includes a lot of extras like a car cover, clip-on
windshield wiper (just in case!), build receipts and photos,
manuals, and some spare parts.This is another car that could not be
duplicated for the asking price, even if you got the body and frame
for free. It's fully sorted, a blast to drive, and ready to enjoy
right away without the years of waiting that goes into a build. If
you've always wanted a bare-knuckle roadster that brings all the
modern upgrades, this is a fantastic choice. Call today!Harwood
