I bought this car from an old school hot rodder in Ft Smith
Arkansas. I met him years ago while down south hunting cars. Since
I've bought 3 of his cars including this one. He drives his cars.
Is it a $100,000 trailer queen? No. Is it a great looking hot rod
that you can get in, turn key and go wherever you want? Yes.
EXTERIOR: Rust free real Henry Ford steel body to start with. The
body was from New Mexico, then it sat in the front window of an
auto shop for over 20 years! It has been chopped 2 inches, roof is
filled with ribbed metal and gas filler is relocated. Still has
fold out windshield, door and trunk handles. The fiberglass rear
fenders were cut down. The black paint is glossy, has some touch
ups. Old school style hand pinstriped. Has artillery style wheels
painted and pinstriped. 15x10 inch in back, 15x5 in front. Speed
rated whitewall tires. It also features a 32 grill, some cool
headlights and taillights.
INTERIOR: Comfortable, I'm 6 ft and felt good driving the car. Has
sport bucket seats, inside of the cab is upholstered gray. Has 1932
dash with a matched set of gauges. Has turnsignal and highbeam
indicators. Tachometer mounted traditional hot rod style. B&M
floor shifter has tall handle. The tilt column has a polished wood
Grant wheel. I like the original style window cranks, handles and
beveled mirror. Has an electric wiper and a 12 volt receptacle
under the dash.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: 383 stroker makes 475 hp. Way more then this
little car needs, it's a hot rod! The motor rumbles out the header
pipes. It is very snappy, punch it and the car wants to leap. The
motor is decked out. Has a chrome Edelbrock intake with a big dual
feed Holley carb, aluminum heads and water pump. The valve covers
and air scoop are finned aluminum. Has chrome alternator,
serpentine belt and pulleys. Other upgrades include custom fuel
lines with pressure gauge and electric pump. Has a Mallory ignition
system, chrome coil, mini high torque starter. New Walker radiator,
stainless upper radiator hose and a polished overflow. Chromed
master cylinder.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Simple, carpeted compartment. Battery is located
in trunk.
UNDERSIDE: Has a custom boxed frame with extended front end. Look
where the front wheels sit way out in front. This really improves
the ride. All chrome TCI front end- the drop axle, spring, shocks,
trailing arms, brake covers. Has Wilwood 4 piston disc brakes. In
back it has 4 link suspension with coil over shocks. Currie Ford 9
inch rear with 3.25 posi gear.
If you want memory seats and cruise control buy a new Buick. If you
enjoy polishing your car more then driving it, buy a trailer queen.
If you want the old school feeling of a true hot rod buy this car.
Its loud, fast and all around cool!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
