Vehicle Description
There's a reason songs were written about the Ford Deuce coupe, and
this awesome streetrod is further evidence that nothing is cooler
than a slick-built 1932 Ford 3-window coupe. Equipped with a
powerful 355 V8 crate motor, a sizzling custom paint job, and
beautiful A/C bespoke interior, this is a show car that can
definitely walk the walk.
Built less than 20K miles ago according to the odometer, this
awesome 3-window coupe was built with a top-of-the-line Kilborne
fiberglass body, which means no actual 1932 Fords were harmed in
the construction. The end result is about ten times nicer and much
more durable than any original you're likely to find, with hotrod
curb appeal through the roof. With an aggressive rake, big-n-little
tire combination, and a fender-less body, it's a modern take on a
traditional hi-boy hardtop, and we definitely love the look of this
professionally built icon. The PPG Torch Red paint is absolutely
dialed-in, applied by experts and only showing very minor signs of
use since it was finished. Custom flame graphics were painted-on
and perfectly accent the hood and profile, with an uber-cool color
progression that really shows off the artisan painter's chops as a
pinstriper. Execution was first-class throughout, with
laser-straight bodywork, excellent panel gaps, and an attention to
detail that makes great rods like this stand out amongst the crowd.
Smoked glass all around adds to the high-tech look, as do the
teardrop taillights, chrome spreader bars, the exposed custom front
suspension, and details like the King Bee-style headlights and
one-piece windshield are traditional components that look just
right.
Inside, you'll be stunned by the gorgeous gray upholstery accented
with custom red flames that was beautifully installed throughout
the cabin. Wonderfully complementing the external paint scheme, the
buckets were swapped-in from a late-model Cavalier and wrapped in
luxurious and durable hides, and the look is very trick but not
over-the-top. That's not to say that the cabin is subdued or boring
either, with flashes of Torch Red flames found in the custom door
panels and unique custom vinyl floor coverings. There's a
surprising amount of room in there, even with the chopped top, and
with several modern conveniences you shouldn't be afraid to run
this one cross-country. The steering column is a beautiful polished
and painted tilt unit topped by a slick, carbon-fiber wrapped
billet wheel that feels great in the hands of any driver, and a
tall Lokar shifter with a billet knob juts out from the center
console. A custom dash was finished to match the exterior and
highlighted with more custom pinstripe work, and it houses a full
complement of VDO gauges that keep an eye on the engine. A/C vents
and controls were then cleverly integrated into the center console
and under the dash, along with switches for the power windows. The
custom headliner incorporates an Alpine AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit, and
it manages the kickin' stereo with upgraded speakers and a powerful
amplifier stashed away inside the cabin. Out back, the trunk was
finished with matching materials and includes custom panels
(including one for the battery) all-around, and there's plenty of
room for all your car-show goodies.
Wherever you're going, however, it won't take long to get there
thanks to the potent 355 cubic inch V8 balanced and blueprinted
motor under the hood. Topped by a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a
Weiand polished aluminum intake, it has horsepower written all over
it with strong throttle response up and down the speedometer thanks
a 327 Crane cam and 9.5:1 flat-top pistons inside. The block and
its components were covered in chrome and polished aluminum, with
custom valve covers and a trick air cleaner leading the way, and
all that bright stuff really pops out from the Torch Red engine
bay. An Afco aluminum radiator with an electric fan keeps it cool,
all the plumbing and wiring has been neatly routed to keep it out
of sight, and the inner fenders and firewall were smoothed and
painted to match the exterior. A smooth-shifting TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission handles the power from the small block with
ease, and there's a wonderfully throaty soundtrack from the Hooker
headers that feed into a Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The
undercarriage looks just as nice as the top, with bright red paint
and upgraded suspension components throughout, including a chromed
front end with Unisteer rack-and-pinion steering with a steering
dampener, QA1 adjustable coilovers in the rear, and a Ford 8-inch
posi-traction rear end with 3.55 gears inside. A TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission shifts smoothly and handles all the power,
spinning a Ford 9-inch rear out back. 4-wheel disc brakes at every
corner mean this lightweight '32 stops on a dime, and the rolling
stock sits atop a classic Boyd Coddington big-and-little set-up
with 215/45/17 front and 295/45/20 rear performance radials that
finish off the traditional hi-boy look.
Fully sorted and looking good, this '32 hotrod does everything
right and is ready to hit the road today. Just be ready for the
crowds that will surely follow. Call today!
