In the world of Street Rodding it is pretty tough find a better
starting point than the 1932 Ford. For many years these have been
the "go-to" vehicle for the Hot Rodding and Street Rodding world.
In general, the term "Street Rod" refers to a pre-1949 vehicle that
has been fully upgraded with modern features but it is tough to
point out a poster car that beats out the 1932 Deuce. Their
popularity is so great that entire industries have emerged to
remanufacture their look in fiberglass. Well this awesome '32 Ford
Tudor Sedan is not one of those and is all original Henry Ford
steel. These originally came with a cloth insert but this one has
been filled with steel and is so well done it doesn't look like it
was ever any other way. The fit and finish are excellent throughout
with great bodylines and the doors are nice and tight. It is
painted in a Copper Metallic that looks great and really pops when
you get it out in the sun. It has a 4 piece steel hood with old
school louvers on the tops and sides. Some very cool original
features like the fog lights, external hinges and working cowl have
been purposely kept in place and hint at its original steel status.
Down the center of the hood is the original style stainless trim
and it also has original style bumpers, chrome taillights, and
chrome headlights with headlight bar. The windows are all in good
condition and it has a chrome windshield frame which still pops out
like from the factory. The rear glass has some very classy etching
work that looks great. The car has a great stance and the polished
Halibrand wheels (front - 14x6, rear - 15x8) are true knock offs
and suit the car perfectly. The AltiMAX all season touring tires
are 185-70-14 in the front and 235-70-15 in rear.
Open up one side of the hood and you will reveal the 1966 Chevrolet
Corvette 327 that has been bored .30 over. It is freshly built with
only 600 miles on it since being installed so this drivetrain has a
long life ahead of it. It is built up with a Crane hydraulic cam,
Crane lifters, Crane springs, Crane roller rockers, a Cutler tuned
port electronic fuel injection, and Cutler intake manifold. It was
fully tuned by Bob Reams at "Imagine Feel Injection" out of
Glendale, AZ so it runs smoothly and is ready to hit the road. The
motor is very show ready with nice finned valve covers and
chrome/polished components everywhere you look. Even the firewall
is fitted with polished aluminum. Cooling is provided by the Walker
radiator with copper core and the 16 inch electric fan with shroud.
The car sounds great through custom exhaust into Magnaflow mufflers
that exit through chrome tips out of the rear. Backing up the motor
is a TCI Turbo 350 automatic with converter, shift kit and heat
sink cooler. That converts power back to the Ford 9 inch posi rear
with Richmond 3.50 gears and even the housing is nicely painted to
match the body. The X-braced frame is painted as well so the
underneath is very worthy of showing off. It has 11 inch Wilwood
power disc brakes in front with 4 piston calipers and polished
billet hubs. The rear is 11 inch drums and the system is fitted
with a polished dual master cylinder with 8 inch vacuum booster. It
has a 2 inch drop and polished Super Bell front end with chrome bat
wings and hair pins. It also has adjustable rear coil overs for a
smooth ride. Other nice mechanical features include the Mullins
steering box, Vintage AC and 55 psi fuel pump. The car is very
reliable and starts up the first time every time. It is turn key
and very responsive.
It is very nicely finished out inside with a Saddle Brown interior
that looks great. The adjustable front bucket seats feature lap
belts and very cool custom stitching on the headrests. The dash is
a combination of painted components with a Woodgrain bezel to house
the White Classic Instrument gauges. The Vintage Air system
utilizes a combination of underdash vents and in dash vents. The
car even has an electronic cruise control system! They really
thought of everything to make the car a great looker and performer
as well. In front of the driver is a Flaming River chrome tilt
column topped off with a Banjo style Flaming River half wrap
steering wheel.
This is an extremely well done car that is ready for a new home. It
has all the features you could ask for and is absolutely beautiful
in person. Compare it to others on the market and you will note it
is being offered up for a very reasonable price.
