Vehicle Description
1932 Ford Coupe
The 1932 Ford Coupe is far more than just a landmark car. It is a
touchstone, a cultural icon, and a totem that tells a great deal
about the land in which it was born and the people who bought it,
own it, and, yes, love it. The 1932 Ford was a mass-produced
consumer product designed for the multitudes, yet few cars - in
fact, few products of any type - have achieved the universal
recognition, fame, and sheer longevity of the "Deuce Coupe."
For consignment, not your usual stripped down fender less, hood
less, topless, doorless deuce coupe. No not at all folks, as we
have some, (created), greatness in our presence. So good that I'm
coining a new term: A Resto Rod.. From this day forward I'm
referring to these custom built cruiser hot rods as "Resto Rods".
Mark my words it will become famous just like the Classic Auto Mall
and my ramblings! But enough about us, let's take a closer look at
the Resto Rod. You heard it here first on Roller Derby. ( thx
Cheech and Chong)
Exterior
A fine mix of fiberglass body and fenders from Redneck Street Rods.
A steel hood from Rootlieb, a steel grille from Brookville, LED
headlights and tail lights with a high mounted 3rd brake light
installed, manual door locks from Bear Jaw Mechanicals, 15-inch
Torque Thrust wheels and 195/65R15's on front, and 235/75R15's on
back from the 2nd week of 2016. All this is bathed in Anniversary
Red, (I'll call it maroon), which is wonderfully and carefully
applied in a clean room as there are no inclusions just miles deep
shine and paint. Chrome is all excellent and can double as a mirror
to comb that DA after you've smoked the competition on the hanky
dropper. A fine example of what 1932 looked like but with added
bling, no maintenance, no rust no fuss just get in turn the key and
drive...FAST! HAH! My Resto Rod term is coming into its own!! (
Only a matter of time until someone steals it!)
Interior
A swing of the suicide doors reveals more custom plush in the form
of some vertical tuck and roll door panel inserts with surrounding
smooth leather all in light wheat color way. Shiny pulls and
actuators are on and working perfectly. Inside we note a full
rounded over bench which our laggard image maker finally took the
protective towel off exposing all greatness underneath in the form
of more tuck and roll leather inserts and smooth bolsters along
with seatbelts. In front, an Ididit tilt chromed steering column
with a rally banjo styled padded steering wheel on top. This has a
wonderfully custom dash behind it with more matching light wheat
full jacket paint covering it. In the center is an aluminum oval
with a machined swirl pattern and black faced gauges all lined up.
A few more gauges on the bottom, oval AC vents, Vintage AC, billet
knob controls, and plenty of hidden switches underneath the dash. I
must ask, is there a club for hot rodder's that designates the
actual builder is ONLY knows how to find and operate the various
hidden buttons and levers? I see many examples of how to start the
car or open the trunk. First you need to stand on your head, then
pat your belly while moving your hand in front of your mouth going
woo, woo, woo...but I digress as this car is not different! The
consigner is in that sub club! So ignition, headlights wipers, high
beams etc are all under the dash for you to explore. Light wheat
leather forms boots for the Lokar shifter and handbrake. Just fab
inside save for those Jenga puzzle toggles and levers under the
dash!
Drivetrain
Under the cowled hood is a very special 350ci crate motor which
consignor states but has no documentation of, puts out 290hp.
Feeding it is a set of Edelbrock dual 4bbl500cfm carbs, and on back
is a TH350 3-speed automatic with a stall converter, and some Lokar
parts within its confines. On the back is a Ford 9 inch 3.23 geared
rear axle. JetHot coats the headers and valve covers are mirror
polished. High voltage wiring is now on and a Dakota Digital fan
keeps things cool, even though the bling and looks are absolutely
RED hot! ( I think I'll brush and floss while the cowl is
open...)
Undercarriage
An all new complete Pete and Jakes chassis holds the fiberglass and
steel and leather above firmly in place. There are chromed ladder
bars and a new 14 gallon gas tank. Heidt independent front
suspension with manual rack and pinion steering, QA1 coilover
shocks, and a balanced drive shaft. Large 9-inch rear drum brakes
and polished front disc braking with Wilwood calipers and rotors
provide the whoa factor. A Corvette dual master cylinder clamps the
braking down, and it has an assist from a Pete and Jakes dual brake
booster. As fab underneath as above.
Drive-Ability
I got in and rubbed my head and patted my belly and was off to the
test track. Here it was totally no nonsense where it had neck
snapping acceleration, bias free immediate stopping, and all
working conveniences when one can actually find them. All in all an
awesome experience.
When one says "Deuce" they think of a street rodded racer all
stripped down. Quite the contrary for this beauty and build. It is
all luxury with some guts under the hood, and it is all looking
just super duper! A who's who of name brand add-ins, a mix of steel
and fiberglass and all buttoned ups to be a Resto Rod!
