Vehicle Description
This custom 1932 Ford Coupe hot rod is a replica of the
world-famous Doane Spencer hot rod displayed at the Peterson
Museum. It features the original 1932 steel body and firewall, as
well as the 1932 Ford frame and crossmember with a bored-out
Mercury Flathead engine with SCAT crankshaft, rods and pistons. It
is equipped with 12-volt conversion, batwing gauges, Lincoln front
brakes and a laid-back Duvall windshield. It has spring sets behind
the axle and a pinched frame, and the back frame has been stepped
up 7 inches. The mostly period-correct parts include the fuel pump,
gas pedals, intake carburetors and air cleaner, Offenhauser heads
and Halibrand quick-change rear end. The total parts expense
exceeded $140,000. Every part is documented in a build book
included with the purchase. It has been serviced and fully
detailed. From the Bryan Frank Collection.
