Vehicle Description
With its classic hot rod style, well-coordinated total package, and
tri-power stroker V8 under the hood, 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster is
a thoughtfully finished custom classic.
Those who love a good '32 Ford hot rod build know the quality that
comes from a Gibbons fiberglass body. It's what helps give this one
its sleek look. Of course, what also makes this one so slick is
investing in a quality application of burgundy metallic paint. It
gives the car a sophisticated tone, but there's also plenty of
metallic pop the moment sunlight hits this roadster. Plus, the
darker red makes for a fantastic contrast to the gray pinstriping
on the hood, trunk, and running along both sides. And this also has
great details, like the blue dot headlights, competition-style
American racing wheels (with super wide ones in the rear,) and a
bit of brightwork for accenting.
The red folding top looks great in place. The slightly bolder shade
of red against the burgundy paint is the kind of color combo you'd
see on a sophisticated European classic - so it's particularly
striking on an American hot rod. But a car like this was meant to
be open to the world, and so when you take the roof down, you
reveal a stellar color combo. After all, you can now see that the
two-tone gray pinstriping was a preview of the two-tone gray
interior. This has a terrific wraparound presentation. And the tuck
and roll inserts are made from velour, so it also makes this nice
to sit on during hot days with the roof open. This has great hot
rod touches like the piston-style gearshift, bright Colorado
Customs steering wheel, a dash full of Stewart Warner gauges, and a
column-mounted tach. Plus, under the dash is an AM/FM/CD stereo and
well-hidden Rockford Fosgate speakers. So this vintage machine can
have the best in modern driving tunes.
You'll be happy to lift the hood wherever you park this roadster.
It has a tidy engine bay with classic Corvette valve covers, an
electric fan, and the unmistakable three air toppers of a tri-power
machine. You're looking at a powerful 383 cubic-inch stroker V8
that has all the best in upgrades, including an Offenhauser intake
and a triple set of dual-barrel carburetors. Plus, the tight-tuck
headers let this one exhale freely while giving the dual exhaust a
sweet rumble. And as you look at the undercarriage photos, you're
going to see color-matched components and nice sets of polished
four-link suspension for both front and rear. Add in a smooth TH350
three-speed automatic transmission and front disc brakes, and you
have a great all-around cruising roadster.
Power with poise, this is highboy of distinction. So don't let it
slip away, call today!
