At first glanceand#44; this looks like your typical old-school 32 Ford hi-boy roadster. But look a little closer and youll see that not only is it beautifully finishedand#44; but its got a lot of tricks up its sleeve that combine tradition and innovation in new ways to create something truly special. Would you be surprised to learn that theres over $200and#44;000 wrapped up in the construction of this car? After you see it in personand#44; you wont have any doubts. The paint is about a mile deep and this is no old-fashioned roadster bodyand#44; but a recent creation that does away with factory imperfections and instead delivers laser-sharp reflections in the two-stage urethane paint. Dig the exacting gapsand#44; the beautiful fit of the three-piece hoodand#44; and the just-right angle of the grille up front. Its only got 4178 miles since it was builtand#44; so there are almost no signs of use. The chopped windshield accentuates the wicked stance and yesand#44; thats a proper 32 Ford grille shell up front but itand#44; tooand#44; has been chopped and modified to give this car that perfect wedge profile. This is speed incarnateand#44; a minimalist tribute to all-out performanceand#44; and it totally works. If you love detailsand#44; this car will give you something to do for a week as you examine all the lovely custom touches. The black leather interior is pure hot rod traditionand#44; starting with the pleated bench seatand#44; which has been skillfully shaped to add space in the compact roadsters cockpit. The doors open suicide-style using billet latchesand#44; and theres more pleated leather on the door panels themselves. A big banjo-style steering wheel re-creates the era and looks greatand#44; and they wisely chose a polished steering column with an exposed shifter for the transmissionand#44; freeing up precious floor space for passengers and adding to the cool elemental look. Pretty cream-faced gauges are simpleand#44; cleanand#44; and elegantand#44; set into a textured instrument panel thats a refreshing change from the usual billet piece. Theres a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo system hidden out of sight and accessed with a remote controland#44; and in the finest roadster traditionand#44; there is no heater. It does include a great-fitting black canvas top thats completely removable so the clean roadster lines are uninterrupted and it stows neatly in the carpeted trunk with a power actuator for the lid. The engine is an all-aluminum small block Chevy punched out to 401 cubic inches. Topped by aluminum headsand#44; this flyweight powerplant delivers reality-altering acceleration and razor-sharp handling. It also looks incredible under the pointed hoodand#44; with a custom pinstriped air cleaner atop a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a set of custom valve covers that tie in with the rest of the car. The engine block itself has a beautiful bronze tone to itand#44; giving the engine bay an artistic look thats different from all the other rods out there sporting bright red or Chevy Orange motors. Its linked to a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and a very trick 9-inch rear end with a finned aluminum cover thats just gorgeous from behind. The frame is finished like the bodyworkand#44; theres a chrome I-beam axle up frontand#44; and 4-wheel disc brakesand#44; with the fronts cleverly hidden inside period-looking drums. And one of the cars most remarkable features is the rolling stock: custom-made aluminum wheels designed to look like painted steelies with trim rings and hubcaps. With a modern set of 205/50/17 front and 295/40/20 rear BFGoodrich rubberand#44; its got that big-n-little stance but modern handling. This is perhaps the most impressive hi-boy weve ever seen. The detailing is spectacular and the overall theme is going to blow everything else away wherever you show it. Call today! |
