Vehicle Description
The old adage is still true, and you can definitely buy this 1932
Ford Hi-Boy Roadster for less than the cost of building your own.
And don't worry, it's got all the good stuff inside, ranging from a
rumbling 350 V8 to a fully finished leather interior that's ready
to cruise. The only thing that matters is whether you're tired of
sitting on the sidelines or if you're ready to get in the game with
a bang.
The glass body is straight as can be with only 9,162 on the build,
and if you've been looking at roadsters, you know this one is
first-rate quality just by how the light bounces off the finish.
Built a few years back and still looking good today, this
eyeball-burning yellow rod is pretty much the way you'd do it
yourself, isn't it? The paint is two-stage urethane, bright yellow
with hot orange flames to be exact, and it's so bright that I'm
sure some radioactive isotope was part of the mix. It was applied
over the chiseled body which also features a stock-style, steel
3-piece hinged hood and a radiator shell painted to match, so it
has that smooth look that all the top builders shoot for. Add in a
chopped and raked windshield with attached chrome side mirrors,
those big King Bee-style headlights on the shock mounts, a chrome
spreader bar up front, and some killer original pinstripe work on
the trunk to further off-set all the yellow, and you have a rod
that will be welcome anywhere you take it. Sure, it's no longer a
magazine winner with immaculate paint and zero imperfections, but
the few signs of use you might find add character and mean you'll
never hesitate to take this '32 out for a spin.
The neatly stitched black upholstery with bright yellow piping
inside the cabin means that this car needs no additional funding to
be all-day comfortable. Pleated inserts and simple patterns on the
low-back buckets duplicate the vintage look of hi-boys of yore, and
the interior is remarkably consistent with matching door panels,
plush black carpets, and a leather-wrapped Grant GT steering wheel
on a chrome tilt column that's a slick 4-spoke spin on the
traditional Track-T look. The bright yellow dash houses a full set
of white-faced Dolphin instruments, but all the working parts are
cleverly stashed away. The cabin is all beautifully finished, with
every square inch of space attended to by the upholstery man to
give this '32 a very finished look. A Pioneer head unit manages the
kickin' stereo that's set-up in the trunk, and if you look closer
you'll see that the amplifier and subwoofer in the trunk are JL
Audio units - the best of the best. And in case you get trapped out
in the elements there's an easily removable black canvas top that
snaps on the body in seconds.
Reliability and performance? This car has both in spades. The 350
cubic inch V8 is a great choice for any rod that's meant to be
driven, and when augmented with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb,
aluminum intake, block-hugging headers and a custom dual exhaust
with Flowmaster mufflers, it's extremely entertaining on the road.
The block, frame, suspension, and just about everything else under
the car has been dipped in the same bright yellow paint as the
body, giving it a highly detailed look, and there's plenty of
bright chrome and polished pieces both under the hood and the
undercarriage. The transmission is a TH350 3-speed automatic
driving a 9-inch rear end, and with traditional hotrod suspension
components including a 4-bar set-up front, 4-link in the back, and
coilovers in the rear mean that it has the right look and rides
right. The steering is tight and the lightweight body makes a huge
difference on the road, and front disc brakes are plenty powerful
for this red-hot '32. Staggered American Racing Torque Thrust
polished wheels complete the vintage ensemble and sport skinny
195/65/15 BFGoodrich radials up front, and matching 275/65/16
BFGoodrich radials in the rear.
Traditional in all the ways that matter to you and fully finished
in a way that makes people sit up and take notice, this is a
fantastic Deuce roadster you can own today. Don't wait, call
now!
