Vehicle Description
In a world of hot-rod factories turning out seemingly endless
variations of the same car, this 1932 Sedan Delivery is a welcome
bit of contrast. Sure, it's fiberglass, but the extra effort to
make it unique really pays off with a cool look and impeccable
attention to detail, making this one truly stand out.
The Gibbons Fiberglass Sedan Delivery body style is the ideal blend
of sporty and practical. Not as restrictive as a coupe, this
streetrod manages to combine roominess with vintage design, a
typically tall task for the hobby. As you can see, the builder
nailed the 1932 Ford look, with an aggressively raked stance, 2"
chopped roof, deleted fenders and running boards, and slick blue
paint to make it stand out. That brilliant blue paint is simply
gorgeous and there must be hundreds of hours in the prep work and
final finish, making this a car that will turn heads everywhere it
goes. The three-piece hood and '32 grille give it a neatly finished
look, but they didn't waste time on extraneous details: no
pinstripes or graphics, no superfluous chrome, and they kept the
rear hatch hinged and functional, adding a unique accessibility
point not often seen in streetrods. With paint-matched rear glass,
simple spreader bars fore and aft, and that big protruding motor,
it looks timeless and sleek and likely always will.
They colored a bit outside the lines for the interior too, giving
it a custom look with interesting materials. The tweed bench seat
is nicely upholstered to be both striking and comfortable, with a
pattern that flows through the entire cabin. Matching door panels
look dramatic and the fully finished cargo area is big enough to
fit all your car show accessories. Features like an overhead
console, a tilt column, billet armrests, and an AM/FM/CD stereo in
that overhead console are all included, as you'd expect from a
quality rod like this. The gauges are from Autometer and are fitted
neatly into the dash for a clean look that doesn't seem to be
trying too hard. Power windows are an added luxury, and the four
built-in storage panels in the rear cargo area help with
organization. All-in-all, a well-planned interior design executed
wonderfully.
Mechanically, this one was built to run, and scare the neighbors
every time it's cranked up. Power comes from a highly built Chevy
350 cubic inch V8 (ask us for the specs, they're too lengthy to
list here), but it doesn't stop there. A massive 671 Weiand blower
is camped on top and joined by dual Edelbrock 600CFM carbs, pushing
this supercharged system to crank out roughly 600HP. Longtube
headers feed into a dual exhaust system that features Borla
mufflers, adding a throaty baritone to the supercharger's healthy
whine. Everything is polished, plated, or painted, which is
important when your engine is on display and you can see that a lot
of extra time went into making the wiring and plumbing look neat.
With a built 700R4 automatic transmission and 4.11 gears out back
inside the Ford 9" rear, it's a streetrod that is ready to rip red
light-to-red light. The chassis and most of the components are
fully polished, and the underbody is painted to match the bodywork,
so get ready to set those mirrors up at the car show, you'll want
to show off all that bling. It's only been driven 1,273 miles since
it was completed, so you know it's been sorted and it still looks
fantastic. Shiny American Racing Torque Thrust wheels have a retro
look and carry a big-n-little tire combination that gives the car a
killer hot rod rake.
This gorgeous Sedan Delivery is an awesome way to stand out in a
crowd without completely reinventing the wheel, but rather just
tweaking it. Fully sorted and ready to go, it's always smartest to
buy someone else's finished car. Call today!
