Vehicle Description
We know you're checking out this 1932 Ford roadster because it
looks like it could be that perfect one where a bold street machine
has all the right upgrades. After all, this was built with
legendary components carefully assembled into an award-worthy
presentation. And they even added a 454 V8 with large dual quads on
top to make sure this lives up to its flame-kissed looks. So when a
low-mileage, performance-built full custom is up for grabs, it's
time to take notice.
If you're going to build an award-worthy roadster, then you should
start by making sure it knows how to command instant attention. The
Tangelo Orange radiates so much modern gloss and shine, they'll
think your '32 is nuclear powered. And once the gathering crowd
gets closer, that's when they'll really see all the terrific
details. You're looking at a quality Downs body. Fit and finish is
spectacular, with uniform gaps, super smooth body panels, and zero
interference from items like handles to get in the way of the
smooth-flowing presentation. In fact, you'll notice that the
special Deuce Factory frame does not have a crossmember out front.
That means nothing get in the way of that iconic tall waterfall
grille, and it makes this custom machine look like it wants to
consume all the lesser cars out there. You get terrific brightwork
details - from the polished wheels with an aggressive stagger, to
the Duvall triple chrome plated windshield frame. But the detail
you'll love the most are those amazing flames. A true street
machine should always have custom blaze-work, and this utilizes the
louvers in the hood to elevate this icon to artwork status.
While this one looks great with the one-piece removable canvas
hardtop in place, a roadster like this is really meant to be open
to the world. The tasteful tan interior seems to nicely complement
the exterior orange that returns on the dash and door tops. This is
a well-coordinated look for form and function where the recessed
bolstering in the seats is mimicked on the door panels. And the
steering wheel has a winged pattern that is continued over the
panel that frames the full Classic Instruments readouts. Other
bright pieces have plenty of function, like on the tilt steering
column and Lokar floor shifter. The whole build is thoughtful,
right down to details like the matching trunk and the billet cup
holder that slides out from the middle of the dash.
The engine bay can win you awards all on its own. It has a smooth
presentation, amazing shiny components, and great details like the
air topper with air-brushed flames. And there's a ton of substance
behind the style. This is a 454 cubic-inch big block V8 that
includes roller rockers, Sanderson shorty headers, and topped with
two Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors. Plus, it has been built with
all the right pieces, including Zoops pulleys, HEI ignition, an
aluminum radiator w/Spal electric fan, and a Flaming River
Featherweight steering box. The undercarriage photos will reveal a
full color-matched presentation with a ton of polished components.
So you know this is the kind of car that will have you putting a
mirror under it at the shows. But while you're checking all of this
out, don't forget to spot the pieces that also make this a great
driver. It includes the strong TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. Plus, you have the
polished four-link front end and equally shiny Jaguar-style
independent rear end with adjustable coilovers.
The sale comes with build receipts as well as plenty of extras to
keep this custom protected while on the road (like a bug shield.)
Fully finished in all the right ways that makes people sit up and
take notice, this is a fantastic Deuce roadster you need to get
your hand on today!
