Vehicle Description
This 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster checks all the most important boxes
for a car of its type. Lightweight body and strong motor for great
performance ..? Check! Exterior decked out for maximum visual
impact while still very tasteful ..? Check! Well-appointed and
comfortable interior to make driving a pleasure ..? Check! Of
course, having logged only about 1800 miles since its build doesn't
hurt either.
There are a lot great features that set this '32 apart from the
pack. Of course, its Velocity Yellow paint job, applied to a
well-crafted and lightweight Downs 2" stretch fiberglass body, will
be among the first things you'll notice. Sporting a great clearcoat
on top, it's got a nice deep shine and an evenness that only comes
with thorough prep work to start. The chrome on those King Bee
headlights and chopped windshield is in great shape and really
compliments that vibrant shade well. Even among Highboys, whose
very configuration calls for a prominent front grille, this one -
clad in stainless steel and sitting in front of a Hagan hood -
really stands out. Take a look from the side and you'll see the
rear end has been bobbed just enough to create a more muscular
appearance, while not taking so much off the back as to mess with
the flowing lines these cars are known for.
An unusually nice, opulent two-tone interior sits inside, featuring
medium gray with charcoal gray accents on the door panels and
seats. The detail work and embroidery is really impressive, and
some really nice additional touches have been added, such as the
embroidery on the seat backs and an extra storage compartment
recessed into the space between driver and passenger. Just in front
of the impressive-looking billet steering wheel that's mounted on a
Flaming River tilt column, an assortment of white-faced VDO gauges
sits recessed into the yellow dash area, while just below, a
Kenwood AM/FM/CD system with Bluetooth capability gives you all the
audio options you'll need. There are a few additional custom
surprises thrown in as well, including a set of hidden switches for
ignition, lights and several other functions, as well as an
additional control switch to not only open the trunk, but to close
it as well. The storage area in back is nicely detailed with a
pattern and carpeting matching the interior, and a fire
extinguisher securely fastened in place as a precautionary
measure.
A strong 355 cubic inch SBC crate engine sits on display inside the
TRC chassis. With an Edelbrock carb and a set of aluminum heads, it
churns out 365 horsepower and 410 lb./ft. of torque - more than
enough to push you right back into that well upholstered seat when
you step into the throttle. A generously sized aluminum radiator
sits up front, armed with an electric fan to keep temperatures in
check. While roadsters normally excel in straight line exploits,
this one's well suited for good performance and handling in a
variety of conditions. The Pete and Jakes front end features a 4"
drop to not only provide a great look, but a lower center of
gravity with the triangulated 4-bar suspension in back. The 5 speed
manual transmission, Ford 9" rear end and 4 wheel disc brakes
combine for a fun - and secure - ride on winding roads. This
well-appointed roadster sits on a set of Foose Legend Wheels -
including a pair of massive 20" 295s in back - wrapped with BF
Goodrich G-Force radials.
