Vehicle Description
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this 1932 Ford Highboy. While
it can be argued that no two hotrods are the same, most of them
follow the typical fashion of having a small block Chevy V8 coupled
with an automatic transmission. This Las Vegas Gold beauty breaks
the mold with a 2.5L Ecotec 4 Cylinder. While that doesn't seem too
impressive, the turbo will make you change your mind faster than
you can say "Did your car just sneeze?" All 300 rear-wheel
horsepower make this 2100lb '32 Ford an absolute rocket, hence the
name "Rocket Roadster." What good would a turbo car be without the
correct transmission to always keep you in the sweet spot or the
RPMs? The T5 manual transmission does just that. And it does it
well. Bringing this slick ride to a stop is easy, courtesy of a set
of disc brakes, as well as the lightweight nature of the vehicle.
This roadster looks stunning parked anywhere, but just like the
showgirls of Vegas, you're going to want to see this Vegas gold
move. The rear coilover suspension keeps the road tame and the ride
pleasant. The assortment of gold and silver bits shine like a
diamond in the day, and bounce reflections of the deep, smooth
paint all night. As important as looking good is, having an
estimated 6lbs of weight per HP, which is better than a Porsche
Carrera S! The plush interior was all custom designed as a one-off
setup. The spun-aluminum gauge bezel adds to the mechanical feel of
the vehicle, as does the gusseted shift lever and machined ball
shift knob. This '32 Ford Highboy is truly a sight to behold, and
has a sound to be heard! Options include: Manual Convertible Top,
Hub Caps, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Leather Interior, and Wide White
Walls. For more information on this '32 Ford Highboy, contact our
