Vehicle Description
1932 Ford Roadster
The term "hot rod" refers to the early days when a person would
take a typical car, modify it by removing fenders, hoods, and
various parts of the body and in doing so reduce weight. Also
engine modifications were typical with tuning options and replacing
engine parts to increase horsepower, as well as the entire engine,
were typical of the movement. The goal was to increase straight
line speed, which was tested originally on dry lake beds in the
northern Los Angeles, California area.
While an original shaped steel body retains the 1932 Ford Model B
look and style, everything else about this build is based on
performance and customization on an off the chart scale. Custom
front fenders, bobbed rear fenders, a custom convertible top,
tricked out front suspension that shows like jewelry, an engine
that belongs in a race car and exterior paint that is as flawless
as it is candy to the eye. This build is a must see in person and a
must hear to fall in love!
Exterior
A Brookville body, custom De Stefano wire wrapped inside rolled
front fender, and bobbed rear fenders are sprayed with gorgeous
purple paint. White to red hot flames emanating from the engine
compartment burn past the tub doors and envelop the front of the
passenger compartment. Pin striped flourishes add highlighting to
the purple sea and accent various curves of the body. A removable
hood with scoop (not shown in photos) is also included in this
consignment. Black canvas in perfection creates the top of this hot
rod and can be manually disassembled and put into trunk.... to
reveal nuthin but blue sky. Chrome, chrome, chrome make up the
remainder of the exterior, and the exposed suspension can best be
described as rolling jewelry.
Interior
Tan vertically ribbed stitched leather covers a bench seat and the
door panels. Simply elegant would describe the dash, with necessary
chrome ringed gauges mounted in a field of metallic purple. An
adjustable steering column draped also in metallic purple, turns to
chrome at the end of the column and 3 chrome spines emanate from a
center chrome circle and are topped with a leather covered wood
steering wheel. A floor shifter in chrome, handbrake in chrome and
pedals in chrome sit gleaming in a background of thick pile black
carpet. A digital radio/CD player is seen mounted under the
dash.
Drivetrain
A V8 flathead that has undergone an Ardun OHV conversion is topped
by Retro Tech Stromberg-esque looking throttle bodies, that are
FAST and computer controlled. Inside domed pistons, a scat crank,
Bullet cam, chromed Auston intake manifold and Jet hot coated
headers are just a few of the upgrades to this rocket ship. TCI C-4
performance provides the 3-speed automatic transmission which
connects a beefy driveshaft to a Winters quick change differential.
Performance stainless exhaust and mufflers allow this monster to
exhale efficiently and makes it sound like the world is coming to
an end. Front brakes are vented disc and rear brakes are large
drums.
