Vehicle Description
1932 Ford Custom Coupe
If you're ready to own a 32 Ford that always stands out then look
no further. Not only is this car a cool custom, it is part of
street rodding history being an old school build that was completed
in 1987. The same year the car was finished it won Best Coupe at
the Deuce Reunion and has continued to bring home awards ever
since. It has been featured in multiple magazines and draws a crowd
wherever it goes. The car is a combination of one of a kind
components and is incredibly unique. It has 5,000 miles put on it
since being completed and you can tell it has been very well cared
for. The Henry Ford steel 5 window body is extremely straight and
is fitted with fiberglass fenders. The paint is done in Black which
has a beautiful shine and very smooth finish. One of the first
things people notice about the car is the custom V8 grill and
headlights which pop out of the side panels creating a very cool
look. The grill shell is fiberglass and has been shortened 6
inches. All of the glass is in great shape and is tinted
throughout. The front windshield does pop out as it did originally.
The car has a great stance and sitting low with that unchopped top
creates a very cool look. Corvette wheels that were only available
on 1990 ZR1's were modified and narrowed for the car which add even
more to its 1 of a kind appearance.
Under the custom steel hood is the 305 TPI 1985 Iroc Z motor that
has less than 13,000 miles on it. It came out of a car that was
totaled almost immediately after being purchased new from the
dealer. The motor runs very strong and the engine alone has made
appearances in magazines. Putting a fuel injected motor into a
classic is a common practice nowadays but back when this car was
built it was groundbreaking. The firewall was modified to fit the
motor and the engine compartment has a nice clean look. The engine
delivers a great sound through dual exhaust with Flowmasters that
dump the exhaust out of each side under the rear of the running
board. The motor is mated to a 700R4 automatic transmission that
shifts smoothly. All of the electrical has been rewired. When you
start looking underneath the car it is obvious that the original
builder was a designer and engineer. In fact, he was actually a
friend of Carroll Shelby and is responsible for the first ever
Super Snake Mustang. He created a lot of the components you see on
this car and not just aesthetic features but functional components
as well. For instance, in the rear of the car is a custom torsion
bar independent rear suspension. The center section is out of a
1982 Corvette but the rest has been modified specifically for the
car and the torsion bar set up is extremely unique. The battery for
the car resides behind a panel in the trunk as does the AC unit.
The AC condenser which is typically mounted in front of the
radiator exhibits another example of the builders ingenuity. It is
mounted in the rear hidden by a louvered belly pan. The condenser
has 2 electric fans mounted next to it which have the sole purpose
of cooling it. With all the cool custom made brackets and different
features under the car it's a shame you have to use mirrors or
crawl on the ground to show it off. Well...guess again! This
builder included a plexiglass floor so you can pull back the carpet
and give everyone a direct look at the undercarriage.
The interior of the car is done in all Black and is in good
condition. The bucket seats are comfortable and utilize short
headrests to provide comfort without blocking the rear window. A
Grant GT steering wheel sits in front of the driver and is wrapped
in Black as well. The dash is nicely painted Black to match the
body and houses the gauges and a Clarion AM/FM/Cassette player.
White faced VDO gauges are mounted in a custom billet bezel on the
dash but the car also comes with the original gauges which are
pretty cool to show off. The original builder had a central gauge
system that incorporated 2 screens. 1 screen faced the driver and
provided all of the standard gauge information. The second screen
faced the passenger and was used to play video games while driving
down the road! Things like that are what make the nostalgic hot
rods like this so special. It also comes with volumes of other
memorabilia associated with it. The builder did things so far ahead
of the time that even though this custom built car was completed in
the mid 80s, there is nothing that dates the car to that period.
Actually, you could enter this car into any large show and people
would think that it was completed within the last couple of
years!
You will never find another car like this because it is really 1 of
a kind. These types of vintage customs are typically hidden away in
collections never to be seen by the public and it is very rare that
they come up for sale so act fast! This very special car is being
made available for purchase due to the current owner downsizing his
collection.
This car is being offered up at the very reasonable price of
$59,750.00!
