Cruisin Classics is proud to present the newest addition to our
showroom - this stunning 1932 Ford Custom Coupe. If you're looking
for a little Deuce Coupe that combines old-school cool with a
first-rate modern powerplant and amenities, you're going to love
this '32! We're told this build was completed back in 2014, and
judging from its current condition, it has lived a pretty pampered
life since then. This build started with a Williams frame (both
boxed and tubular steel) that was painted body-color and outfitted
with a four-link rear suspension, RideTech adjustable coil-overs on
all four corners, an independent front suspension with tubular
A-arms, and a Flaming River steering rack. Next, the frame was
topped with a fiberglass body from Bebops Glassworks and steel
fenders, running boards, bi-fold louvered hood, and grille surround
from Brookville Roadsters. This whole package was then painted with
a slick coat of dark orange metallic paint that looks great on the
curvaceous body. The paint still presents well, but some small
chips and scratches put it in a "good driver-quality" category. Up
front, you'll find a gleaming vertical bar grille fronted by a
chrome light bar that ties together the swooping fenders. Chrome
bucket headlamps with integrated turn signals are mounted to the
bar. The hood has a chrome center bar, and the windshield follows
suit with a bright surround. The windows all have a light tint, and
body-color side mirrors flank both sides. The steel running boards
are topped with a black textured rubber mat, and black welting is
tucked between the fenders and the body. Adding a bright touch to
both sides are elegantly curved chrome door handles. The perfect
final touch to the side view are staggered steel wheels with chrome
moon caps and beauty rings, all wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A's
(215/60/R15 - front, 275/60/R15 - rear). Around back, beneath the
curved decklid in white hand-painted script, is "Little Deuce
Coupe" - a fitting homage to this historic ride. Beneath the
script, a chrome bar links the rear frame horns behind the gas
tank. Chrome swan-neck Duolamp taillights protrude from either
side, and down below are two exhaust outlets with a trailer hitch
at the center. The trailer hitch is for a matching fiberglass
equipment trailer (also from Bebops Glassworks) that is perfect for
taking chairs and a cooler to a car show or luggage for a trip. The
trailer is painted to match the car, and it's outfitted with
taillights, a third brake light, a lock, a tan felt interior, and
wheels & tires to match the car as well.
Lift the folding hood panels and feel your heart beat faster at the
sight of a 6.2-liter crate LS3 V-8! According to Chevy, this
fuel-injected aluminum engine is capable of 430+ hp, making this
lightweight coupe a virtual rocket on the road. This powerful V-8
is mated to a Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission that
puts the power down via a 9" Ford rear axle - what a combination!
The excitement doesn't end there, though; there's also an aluminum
radiator with an electric fan, a Vintage Air A/C and heat system,
and headers with dual exhaust. Stopping power is provided by
four-wheel disc brakes.
With so much effort and money spent on the build thus far, it
should come as no surprise that the interior of this '32 received
equal treatment. Open the door to find a jaw-droppingly nice
orangish-tan interior that invites you in for a comfortable cruise.
The seat is the star of the show - a bench bottom with two
individual bucket-style bolstered backs, all dressed in
orangish-tan leather. The door panels, kick panels, rear panel,
headliner, and windshield surround are all covered in a similar
material in the same style - providing a very cohesive look and
feel. The floor is covered in high-quality brown square-weave
carpet, and rising up from the floor in the center is a Hurst
dog-leg shifter with a white pattern ball for the 6-speed
transmission. Ahead of the driver is a black leather-wrapped
banjo-wire steering wheel on a tilt column with a working horn
button. The simplistic black dash is home to a set of Autometer
Phantom II gauges for temp, fuel, volts, oil pressure, and a
speedometer. Also on the dash is a pull knob for the lights, a
switch for the power trunklid, a switch for the power E-brake, the
ignition, switches for the power windows, and an input for an iPod
that's designed to play through speakers in the kick panels (we
have not tested its functionality). Mounted beneath the dash are
controls for the Vintage Air system that cranks out cold A/C and
hot heat with a strong fan on demand. Above the windshield, you'll
find individual controls for the working wipers (only the driver's
side currently has an arm attached) and an oval rear-view mirror in
the center. When you push the power trunk button on the dash, the
decklid opens smoothly to reveal a beautifully finished trunk that
matches the interior materials and style. In the trunk, there's a
padded battery cover box and a trickle charger at the ready.
As you can see, this isn't your average Deuce Coupe build! It
literally checks all the boxes - crate LS3 motor, headers, 6-speed
Tremec manual, cold A/C, 4-wheel disc brakes, high-quality
body-color frame, 4-link rear suspension, adjustable coilovers on
all four corners, power windows, slick paint, an equipment trailer,
and a gorgeous, comfortable interior! This is a car that's meant to
be driven and enjoyed! Give our friendly staff a call today and be
the lucky one who gets to sit behind the wheel of this cool '32
every weekend!
