Vehicle Description
If you were to close your eyes and imagine the ideal modded vintage
coupe, the 4-wheeled image you conjured up would have to look an
awful like this 1932 Ford 3 Window Coupe. With its outstanding
exterior dressed in a great color, an unbelievably long list of top
tier components on board, and a monster of an engine peering out
from its compartment, it's an absolute category killer.
The mere sight of this car will prompt an adrenaline rush. An
unbeatable combination of great aesthetic choices and outstanding
craftsmanship has resulted in a vintage ride that would stand out
in any crowd of classics, anywhere. Ford's 3 Window Coupe has been
used as a blank canvas for quite a number of aftermarket projects
over the years, but this one occupies some seriously rarified air.
Its burgundy shade matches its form perfectly and is exceedingly
well applied - no drips, uneven spots or orange peel to be found.
The chopped windows surrounding the cabin have been modified with
precision, and you'll find a fresh expanse of chrome trim
surrounding the windshield. Trace this '32 from front to back and
you'll be continually impressed - the signature ornate front grille
looks great, the open engine bay is a showstopper and the flow of
the fenders as they transition into the running boards before
rejoining the rear fenders is so seamless, it takes a second glance
just to appreciate how the modifications cleared space for the
massive rear tires so seamlessly as to not detract from the rest of
the car.
The magic doesn't stop as you open one of the suicide doors to
enter the cabin. Every detail you see here looks to have been
meticulously planned out, with a matching red and gray pattern
across the surfaces of the pair of contoured leather buckets
originating out of a late model Camaro and the door panels they're
bracketed by. A truly inspired dash area sits just beyond the
custom steering wheel mounted on a tilt column, with a full set of
VDO gauges located inside a backdrop of brushed aluminum, joined by
a trio of in dash air vents and an AM/FM/CD system to provide your
audio soundtrack while on the road. An assembly of air conditioning
components come with the car to complete this feature at your
discretion. The spacious trunk area in back features a color
pattern matching the interior, and the strut entrusted with keeping
the raised deck lid in place works just as intended.
We come across our share of well-equipped cars here, but still have
to marvel at the assembly of top tier mechanical components this
'32 features. It's as if an automotive Genie was summoned to grant
an exhaustive wish list with one all-encompassing nod. A 383-cubic
inch stroker engine sits on display in the open compartment, armed
with a Hampton blower, Lunati crankshaft, Crowler roller cam, a
pair of Chevy 2.02 heads and twin 750cfm 4-barrel carbs for
world-class power. The engine partners with a 3-speed TH400
automatic transmission that's been upgraded with a B&M shift
kit and a 3000 RPM stall converter, plus a Franklin Quick Change
4.11 rear end sitting in back, so you can only imagine the
acceleration that'll be at your disposal. The upgraded suspension
provides modern rack and pinion steering, coilovers at all four
corners and disc brakes up front. This incredibly equipped coupe
rules the asphalt on a set of custom Team III wheels - 15" in front
and 15.5" in back - that are outfitted with Uniroyal AWT tires that
include massive 33s in back.
If you're looking to have the last word as far as supremely
equipped street rods are concerned, you have to make this 1932 Ford
3 Window Coupe your first stop. Call today!
