Vehicle Description
1932 Ford 3 Window Coupe
Enter the lavish English manor house known as Toad Hall and hop
into a 2-person, open-air buggy. Skid past teetering stacks of
books in the library and barrel through a fireplace-before hurtling
into a formal dining room. Careen through a wall-sized window and
race past a riverbank, narrowly missing a flock of sheep. While
avoiding a platoon of policemen, crash through scaffolding,
splatter a stack of pies, smash crates and ignite a fiery
explosion-but look out for that train! Will you escape trial for
your trail of destruction? Or is something even more devilish in
store? The ride is based on the Wind in the Willows scenes from the
animated Disney film, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
For consignment, a green mean machine, in the form of a '32 Deuce 3
window coupe, which is considered the nirvana of the hot rod
examples and was the very first car to take on this kind of genre.
This car is a fiberglass replica but holds nicely as an original.
Bathed in green, has a powerful 350ci ZZ5 crate mill with some
goodies inside, (see Drivetrain section), a leather interior,
modern conveniences and is truly a looker and certainly a cooker.
rrrrrrrribbbbit!

Exterior
Perfectly sculpted fiberglass makes up the exterior of this deuce
and it's bathed in tree frog green, which my crack decoder named
antifreeze green, ( keep it away from your cat!). Either way it's
expertly applied and sports slightly darker ghost flames on the
front fenders. In lieu of the red eyes there is are single large
round chrome bezel headlight flanking a central vertical ribbed
grille with a body matching cowl. The hood ornament is shaved and a
like new curved bumper frames the bottom. The hood is an open cowl
version allowing the engine to be viewed and listened to. Curved
fenders with a central running board was the design of this era and
this is expertly sculpted and molded and of course rust free for
this set up. A suicide hinged door is hanging from either side with
a small chromed mirror attached. Tinted glass is in for the chopped
top, and as theroofline melts into the trunk area a beautiful curve
makes its way gently downward to the shiny rear tail lighting and
bumper. The car rides on big 17-inch polished Boze wheels wrapped
in front 205/50R17 rubber and larger rear 235/65R17 from the 8th
week of 2019. A finer detail seen is the engraved 1932 Ford badge
in the center of the running board rubber which is a nice highlight
as you prepare to enter the interior.
Interior
A swing of the suicide hinged doors and what to my wandering eyes
appears? All light sand leather expertly stitched into the panels
which use vertically ribbed tuck and roll, custom curved armrests
and a small corner storage pouch. Some billet actuators are built
into the panels and are oval in their shape. A triangular billet
aluminum door lock is noted on the edge as well. Nifty! Inside I
take a seat on more comfy light sand leather, which is a split back
overly padded bench with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters.
This leather also covers the vertical surfaces of the interior.
While seated, I reach for the billet modern banjo styled wood
rimmed steering wheel on top of a chromed adjustable column. This
fronts a full fiberglass green jacket dash which is as simple as
the original 32's with two centrally located oval bezel and glass
fronted digital readout instrument clusters, each above the other.
Blue LCD readouts make it so simple to read you could be illiterate
and still drive this car. Oval AC vents are on either edge of the
dash, which is also as curvaceous as the front and rear fenders.
More sand leather covers a custom console which is very low but
effective. Tan carpeting covers the floors and it's very much like
new with sand stitched edging. Chromed oval pedals keep with the
theme of this interior, and the KISS theory abounds in here.
Drivetrain
Within the oped sided cowled hood sits a beautiful industrial metal
flame engraved valve covered 350ci ZZ5 crate engine. Within its
confines is hidden a steel crank, a 4 bolt main, a roller cam,
roller rockers and it's all topped with a Holley 4-barrel carb.
Coated headers make their way from the heads, and a stainless steel
exhaust expels the spent fossils efficiently. On the back is a
700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. If it's not chromed or
engraved, its satin cast metal for a wonderful presentation
warranting the open sides.
Undercarriage
Nothing short of spectacular for this green machine underneath with
more antifreeze green, ( skat cat!), painted tank, and floor pans.
All else is chromed or painted gloss black for the TCI chassis. The
car is using a front and rear Kugel suspension which is
independentwith coil overs and is blinged to the max. Piping for
the stainless steel exhaust is knitted for a fantastic effect. Me
thinks this car was definitely trailered as there is nary a speck
of dirt. Disc braking is on all 4 corners.
Drive-Ability
Me being of somewhat simple mind, hopped in and allowed the digits
to take over and tell me what to do! Actually it fired right up and
off to the test track where it had neck snapping acceleration, bias
free panic stopping, and fab handling. The ergonomics are
excellent, and all is well with this "hopped" up deuce.
A truly custom fiberglass build that is for go and definitely show.
Antifreeze green, and the beauty of a mill are just a few of the
highlights on this rod. Yes Grasshopper, snatch the key fob from my
palm and you will be able to go fast.
