This 1932 Ford Roadster is a true old school hot rod right down to
the flathead V8 and a lineage that can be traced back to the 1950s
Midwest. But along the way, it has also evolved with some unique
features, including a five-speed. Plus, this was specially done so
that taller people could fit without issue, too.
The hot rod comes with a few magazines that tell its unique story.
They even mention it's true Midwest two-lane blacktop hero that was
running around Nebraska in the 1950s. So when you imagine the
golden age of custom hot rods, this one was actually part of it!
Its current form goes back to the early 1980s where it became part
of a multi-year build. Today, this real steel bodied street machine
has the sleekness that tells you it has been given the right care
and investments. The black body has a piano-like finish; the
louvered hood and trunk are pure old-school sporty; and the thin
chrome bumpers add the right brightwork touch. We especially like
how the neon-like green gives new appreciation to classic elements
like the waterfall grille, drop axle front suspension, and wire
wheels. In fact, as you look over the whole car, you'll start to
see the green highlighting some of the best vintage pieces.
Inside is where this one shows a few of its custom tricks. The
floor is custom contoured, and it dips into the frame's space. So
if you're a taller person who couldn't get comfortable in a hot rod
before, this one was made to accommodate you. It's built to have a
racer look with metal floors, racing lap belts, a roll hoop, a
mounted fire extinguisher, Hurst shifter, and four-spoke sports
steering wheel. But this is also one for detail lovers with saddle
bags in the door, a button-top seatback, and even a cool black
folding roof.
A motor like this deserves to be on display at all times. The 239
cubic-inch flathead's block is done in the attention-grabbing
green, and so are the mountings for the triple set of Stromberg
carbs. There are all sorts of nice details, like the finned
Edelbrock heads and polished metal piping that does the V8's famous
90-degree dive off the radiator. And those headers lead to a full
dual exhaust system. And since this is a true hot rod, you also
have cutouts to let you fully bring the rolling thunder whenever
you want. So you can just imaging taking full control of the
old-school power and booming sound with the upgraded T5 five-speed
manual transmission. As you look underneath, you'll see more cool
details in green, and the street signs even pay tribute to this
car's origins that included street signs used for the firewall.
The sale comes complete with a nice history file with publications,
receipts, and history. This is an awesome custom that carries a
true hot rod spirit. So you know you can't miss this deal. Call
