INTRODUCTION: Less than 2,000 miles since built! This classic 32 hot rod is a quality build and has a very attractive look!

EXTERIOR: This is a sharp-looking '32 coupe! The Rat's Glass chopped 5-window body is exceptionally nice-straight, clean, and fitting together beautifully with no damage. The metal hood features a cool little scoop, and the shaved door handles give it that smooth, uncluttered look. The color combo really works: a gorgeous silver metallic base with bold blue stripes over the top that give it a true muscle-car vibe. The hood louvers are air-brushed, adding another custom touch that sets it apart. The glass is lightly smoked and the windows are power. In front it has indiscreet turn signals and out back, it's finished with LED tail lights. It's sitting proud on a set of Shelby wheels-17s up front and extra-wide 18s out back. The fronts wear BFG G-Force rubber, while the rears are wrapped in Mickey Thompson Sportsmans to put the power down.

INTERIOR: The custom interior is a standout, professionally done by the well-known Kasper Auto Trim. The entire cabin is fully upholstered in a unique design that flows from the kick panels through the door panels and wraps cleanly behind the seats. The seats are finished in a two-tone silver and blue, and the headliner matches with molded accents that really set it off. A compact overhead console houses the map lights along with the power window and power trunk switches. The dash features a full set of matching gauges, including a tachometer, and is dressed up with tasteful airbrush work. Even the wiring under the dash is tidy and well-executed. The polished tilt column is supported by a pair of polished piston rods-an eye-catching custom touch-and it's topped with a beautiful polished wheel. Behind the seats is a stereo setup with dual speakers. On the floor you'll find a Lokar shifter and a pair of much-appreciated cup holders to make cruising comfortable.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Powering this hot rod is a fuel-injected 5.3L V-8 topped with a custom engine cover painted to match the car. It's equipped with coated headers and a full serpentine belt system for reliability. An AutoRad aluminum radiator paired with a big electric fan keeps everything running cool. The engine bay itself is impressively clean and uncluttered, featuring mirrored side panels, a smooth firewall, and a show-quality finish that really highlights the drivetrain.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is fully finished and features a power-lift lid operated by a billet hinge. Inside, everything is completely upholstered-including the underside of the trunk lid-in silver with matching blue racing stripes. It has a carpeted floor, interior lighting, and a custom fuel cell, all neatly integrated for a clean, show-quality look.

UNDERSIDE: It is sitting on a boxed frame with tubular supports painted to match the stripes. Up front is a Heidts independent suspension with polished tubular control arms, polished coilover adjustable gas shocks, rack and pinion steering. In back is a four-link system with polished tubular control arms, panhard bar and polished coilover adjustable gas shocks. It has a stainless exhaust with polished MagnaFlow mufflers. There are disc brakes at all 4 wheels, up front it has polished backing plates and calipers. Looking up at the motor it is aluminum and has a high torque starter. The 4L75E overdrive automatic is a heavy duty trans with upgraded internals, it also has a finned aluminum oil cooler. A custom driveshaft leads back to the Currie 9 inch rear with a sharp looking polished center section and 3.55 posi gears. The floor is smooth and painted gloss silver, a nice backdrop to the detailed chassis.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: I really like the look of this one, the colors, wheels aren't typical and they work really well on this car. It's a quality build that's barely been used, it's waiting for you to have fun together!
