For Sale: 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

The classic hot rod! A fenderless little deuce coupe with Sanderson headers and triple carbs sounds like fun to me! To sweeten the pot, it has a gorgeous full fiberglass body and a highly reinforced custom chassis with chrome components underneath. This retro rod is the definition of cool!

EXTERIOR: The 3 window coupe with suicide doors was the poster child for classic hot rods. It has a chopped roof and a '32 grille. The fiberglass body is in very good shape and there's no notable damage. It has door handles instead of poppers, which I personally prefer. The paint is smooth and shiny. It has a double hand painted pinstripe on each side plus hot rod fancy work on the grille and rear lid that nicely compliments the interior. The body is nice and straight and all the panels are properly aligned. It's rolling lean and mean, fenderless, on a set of chrome wheels with cone center caps and lug nut covers. It has skinnies in front and out back has vintage style street strip radials. It also has LED taillights that have a cool vintage look.

INTERIOR: It's a sharp looking multicolored custom upholstered interior that has comfortable reclining bucket seats. Both the door panels and seats are upholstered to match and have red stitching that ties the inside to the outside. It also has a set of Stuart Warner gauges including a tachometer. In front of you is a sharp looking banjo steering wheel on a chrome tilt column. It also a little mini center console with the Lokar shifter and 1 cup holder so you have to fight the passenger. Very nice gray carpet fits wonderfully and it has Kenwood stereo speakers hidden in back. An additional deadbolt style lock keeps the suicide doors in place while cruising.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is a pretty sharp looking engine compartment! The first thing I noticed are the Sanderson headers sticking outside of the car. There's a set of aluminum heads capped off with some finned aluminum valve covers that have a matching breather and plug wire holders too. In the middle is an Edelbrock aluminum intake with three carburetors providing the quintessential hot rod look. The spark is provided by an MSD ignition system. Other features include power brakes with a dual reservoir master cylinder, chrome alternator, and a big electric fan on the radiator. The horns are also hooked up.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The bottom side of the trunk lid and jamb both have slick body color paint. It's all been boxed and upholstered with a carpeted floor. It matches the interior perfectly and has a quality fit and finish. The battery is located in the truck and has a custom cover. It also has sweet billet aluminum hinges and an LED cargo lamp.

UNDERSIDE: Beautiful bottom side! All the steering and suspension components are chrome and very attractive. It has a new steering gearbox, tubular chrome drop front axle, tubular trailing arms and much more. Even the shocks are chrome. The rear suspension also has chrome tubular trailing arms, chrome adjustable coil overs etc. It's equipped with power front disc brakes that have chrome calipers and chrome finned billet aluminum dust shields too. It has Sanderson headers with removable dumps that lead down to stainless steel pipes and dual chrome mufflers and down turned pipes that exit right in front of the rear end. The gas tank looks like new and is painted the same color as the body. It also has all new lines and a filter. Looking up at the 327 engine it's looking great with a finned and polished aluminum pan. Same goes for the 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission, it looks nice and clean with a finned chrome pan and chrome scatter shield too. It also has a polished aluminum drive shaft that transfers the power to a gorgeous chrome 9" rear end. All that is attached to a custom tubular chassis that is heavily reinforced and painted body color. The floors are solid and rust free of course because they are fiberglass. They appear to be covered in a neatly applied black paint.

SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this car and we replaced the gas pedal Spring, rewired the turn signals, repaired the fuel sender and pickup, installed horns, replaced the wiper motor, installed wiper arms, replaced the speedo gear, rewired the driver side window, replaced the tachometer, installed a turn signal cancel cam, repaired the trunk prop rod, repaired the window motor and regulator, replaced both door windows, and replace the master cylinder.

The "deuce coupe" encapsulates an era and a cultural phenomenon like no other vehicle ever created! This one particularly is a high quality build that has been very well dialed in. This is not just another hot rod, it's one that's full of historical significance and is adorned by car enthusiast everywhere!
