Vehicle Description
Pro-built all-steel 1932 Ford roadster. Titled as a 1932 Ford. 350
Chevrolet power, 700R4 4-speed automatic, disc brakes,
rack-and-pinion steering. Traditional build with all-new
components. Beautiful new interior, removable top. A cool rod built
just the way you'd do it yourself!This beautiful electric blue '32
Ford roadster nails the traditional look: low slung, minimalist,
with enough style to attract attention wherever it goes. And the
great thing about rods like this is that they cost a fraction as
much as building one from scratch and let's admit it: this is the
car you'd build anyway. From the Brookville steel body to the
rumbling 350 Chevy crate motor, it gets all the important stuff
right. Starting with fresh sheetmetal right out of the press means
there are zero problems under the skin-it's new. It was built in
Arizona, so the climate since it was finished was always friendly
and there's no sign of accident damage or other maladies anywhere
on the car. Heck, with only 7839 miles since it was built, there
hasn't been much time for anything bad to happen to it. Panel gaps
are excellent and the doors fit extremely well-better than Henry's
stuff to be sure. There's also a steel 3-piece hood, a Vee'd
windshield, and a painted radiator shell to give it a clean,
no-nonsense look. They thankfully skipped any graphics, pinstripes,
or other extraneous details so this sleek rod will look awesome 20
years from now when you're still having fun with it.The interior is
beautifully done. The reproduction body offers a bit more space for
driver and passenger, and the way the seat back wraps around into
the bodywork is just plain cool. The contoured bench holds you in
place during spirited driving and there's plenty of leg room even
for 6-footers. A traditional steering column holds a billet wheel
that's linked directly to the rack up front, so steering is sports
car precise and while the angle of the wheel is old school, it's
comfortable and easy to manage. A full array of gauges from Classic
Instruments have a 1930s look and monitor all the engine's vitals
at a glance. There's a hidden stereo system in the trunk that's
managed with a remote, but if you need a radio in a car like this,
you're doing it wrong. Overhead there's a tan canvas top that's
easy to remove and stow in the trunk and offers a modicum of
protection from the sun and rain, although we bet you'll prefer to
run it alfresco most of the time. And that trunk is as beautifully
finished as the interior, including removable bulkheads to access
the electronics and stereo, as well as the gas tank.The powertrain
doesn't break any new ground, but it's powerful, reliable, and easy
to maintain. The 350 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 is a mainstay of hot
rod building, and it's topped by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor
on an aluminum intake manifold. Reliable GM HEI ignition handle the
spark and there's plenty of chrome and polished aluminum to make it
worthwhile to open the hood. It starts easily, idles nicely, and
pulls the featherweight roadster around with enough enthusiasm to
scare most drivers. It's downright quick! There's also a giant
radiator up front, so feel free to cruise on hot days, and there's
a heater for cooler spring and fall evenings when you're just
taking it easy with a friend. The transmission is a 700R4 4-speed
automatic with overdrive, so it's relaxed at speed, and there are
3.50 gears out back in the Ford rear end. The chassis is all new
and includes a traditional dropped I-beam front axle on a leaf
spring, while the rear is supported by a 4-link on coil-overs. A
full stainless exhaust sounds awesome and has a trick single outlet
in the center, and with rack-and-pinion steering and front disc
brakes, it's competent and easy to manage without feeling crude.
15-inch Torque Thrust wheels are the right choice for a period rod
and carry staggered 165R15 front and 31x10.50R15 rear Michelin
radials.Extras include a car cover, a built-in battery tender, and
a protective bag for the convertible top.Admit it, this is the car
you'd build if you had the time and money to do it from scratch.
Why not skip the hard, expensive part and just get to the
enjoyment? This beautiful '32 Ford gets everything right-it's easy
to drive, easy to maintain, and looks killer going down the road.
