Vehicle Description
The 1932 Ford Model A 3-window Coupe is THE hot rod. There are
others, but most hot rods today can trace their histories back to
the '32 Ford 3-window coupe, and they're as popular today as they
ever were. This striking black Ford (titled as a 2013 ASVE) has the
right stance, the right profile, and the right big-block hardware
to make it look traditional, but all the creature comforts to which
we've become accustomed, so it's also easy to enjoy.
Like most streetrods found today, the body is fiberglass, and after
looking at this slick coupe you'll realize that a professionally
built replica is the way to go. One, it doesn't rust or get dented,
so no worries in the future if you drive it. Two, it finishes
beautifully and the results show everywhere you look on this car.
And three, it's brand new, so you don't have to deal with a creaky
old Ford body and instead enjoy a rod that's uber-durable on the
outside and tight and quiet on the inside thanks to the wonders of
modern engineering. Matte Black is a cool choice simply because it
will always look great, and its simplicity looks awesome when
accented by the cool custom pinstripes found on this beauty. It's a
great driver-quality paint job that was well executed, but even
with it's minor flaws it's still an amazing head turner. Even with
that custom work, it still has a minimalist vibe that's perfect for
the '32 3-window, especially in hi-boy form, and we guarantee that
it'll stand out at the next cruise night. Especially with that
awesome lowered stance and classic big-and-little tire combo. They
skipped the hood but the '32 Ford grill shell is painted to match
the body and features a polished insert, plus you get a set of
King-Bee-style headlights perched down low on the front suspension,
and a set of horizontal blue-dot taillights out back. Take your
time and drink it in, because this '32 keeps getting cooler the
longer you look at it.
It's definitely got the hot rod look outside but inside it almost
feels like a little sports car. Nicely finished in black with a few
red accents, the high-back Kirkey racing buckets are extremely
supportive and comfortable enough even for six-footers, which
wasn't the case with a stock '32. In fact, this particular
fiberglass body has a very spacious cabin inside, which isn't often
the case in replica rods. Suicide doors and a uniquely designed
thin steering column surely helps, and given the quality of the
surroundings, it's easy to imagine taking this one out on the Power
Tour. Amenities are sparse, because they weren't building a leather
couch and wanted to keep weight down, but features like racing
harness seatbelts, a thick-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel, and a
tall Lokar shifter that controls the automatic transmission below
all improve the driver's comfort inside. Nicely fitted black
carpets and custom black door panels give it a very polished look
inside and a full array of gold-rimmed AutoMeter gauges are a great
look inside the black dash. You'll also note the SunPro tachometer
strapped in place to monitor the engine's revs, and the "ole Skool"
pinstriped script on the dash harkens back to the Golden Age of
streetrod building. There's even a bit of leftover room in the
trunk around the custom enclosure for the gas tank, and the
relocated battery tucked away provides more room for the beast that
dominates the engine bay.
And speaking of that beast, it takes form by way of a thumping
Cadillac 500 cubic inch V8 motor with 4-bolt mains that provides
huge power and torque for this lightweight Ford. Fed by an
Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor on an Edelbrock intake and adorned in
plenty of chrome and dress-up bits, it certainly has the right
look. The brightly detailed engine bay is kind of minimalist, but
that's the whole point of a hi-boy, isn't it? An HEI system and
chromed alternator means this big block monster cranks with ease,
and it's topped with chrome Cadillac valve covers and open-element
Edelbrock air cleaner. Sanderson Cadillac Limefire Headers provide
a killer soundtrack, and there's an aluminum radiator up front that
keeps the big motor nice and cool. The custom chassis is highly
detailed and professionally engineered, so it rides great and
tracks straight, and the suspension features Pete and Jakes shocks
and a 4-link. With all that added power, you need a capable
transmission, and the TH400 3-speed automatic transmission in this
Deuce Coupe is more than up for the task. Nothing screams "hotrod"
better than the classic big-and-little wheel package, and the shiny
polished alloys on this Ford are wrapped in staggered 165/80/15
front and 265/75/15 rear performance rubber to finish the killer
stance.
With the right look, this Ford brings a slightly different twist to
the familiar '32 Ford hi-boy coupe. It's not subtle, but it is
tasteful, powerful, and comfortable and there's a lot to be said
for that. Call today!
