One doesn’t get the chance to own a “Hotrod Centerfold” too often.
Featured in the February 1999 addition of “Rodder’s Digest”, you know if
it was featured in a Hotrod magazine, it has to be pretty good. This
was a "commissioned" build for a customer who wanted a Traditional
Hotrod and was not “built to make a fast buck”. It has been stored in a
climate control facility and has been pampered and cared for with TLC
since it was built. It has only an approximate 4000 miles since
completed. It's barely broken in!
Features include a Henry Ford steel body which has been chopped 3
inches. This was a “body off” build. The body has also been fully
insulated. All new glass and window channels were installed. The doors
close like a steel vault. All together this is one tight, solid riding
32. Front fenders are fiberglass with the rear being steel. The violet
paint job with flames are beautiful and have stood the test of time.
The engine, a chevy 350, has been balanced and blueprinted. It comes
configured with a 3-two barrel carb set up which makes it performs like a
hot rod should. The transmissions is a turbo 350 which has been
overhauled. Power is transmitted to a Ford 9-inch rear end. And oh yea,
vintage air with cold A/C and heat, making this bad boy a comfort to
drive.
The frame consists of a fully boxed 32 frame with a drop front axle and
Vega steering box. Front manual disk brakes and drum breaks in rear
provide stopping power. The frame and underneath of the car looks almost
as good as the exterior of the car.
The rims are the “real deal”, Halibrand aluminum rims.
This is just a Quintessential Traditional Hotrod ready for its new
owner. So if a 1932 Ford coupe is on your bucket list. This might be the
car for you. It sits right, looks right feel right and drives right. It
will make you smile every time you take it out for a spin.
