This bright yellow 1932 Ford 3-window coupe isnt your garden-variety hot rod. Noand#44; it was built in 2002 by the legendary George Poteet and has an old-school look that is sure to generate a lot of attention every time you take it out. Better yetand#44; if youre a Ford guyand#44; youll be thrilled to learn theres a Blue Oval 289 under the louvered hoodand#44; making this the best kind of Henry Ford hot rod. The hi-boy stance and 3-window bodywork give this coupe a look thats straight out of the early 1960s. Its choppedand#44; of courseand#44; and they did it rightand#44; not too much off the topand#44; not too much of a rakeand#44; and that also makes it functional on the street. The bright yellow paint has a lot of pearl and metallic in itand#44; so it has an AutoRama show car look thats pure nostalgiaand#44; and as a Poteet buildand#44; you know the finish quality is first rate. Just check out the door gapsand#44; the tight fit of the 3-piece hoodand#44; and the crisp body linesand#44; none of which come cheap or easy. A few subtle pinstriped flourishes highlight the trunkand#44; along with a set of blue dot taillight lensesand#44; just for effect. Theres also a cool power antenna on the rear deckand#44; complete with Moon Eyes ball on top. Theres nothing on this Ford that doesnt screamand#44; Traditional! The interior nails the 60s vibe with diamond-tufted upholstery thats funky today but all the rage back then. The split bench seat does a good impersonation of a pair of buckets and the patterned headliner is worth the price of admission all by itself. Even the header above the windshield is whimsically upholstered. Anything that wasnt covered in tan leather was painted to match the bodyworkand#44; including the dashand#44; which is also highlighted by more custom pinstripes. Stewart-Warner gauges in the center of the dash are just what it might have used if it were actually built in the 1960sand#44; and the secondary controls have been invisibly stashed underneath. The 3-spoke wheel has a dirt track racer look and youll dig how the tachometer was built right into the column supportand#44; so its right where it needs to be when you need it. Luxuries include a tilt steering column and AM/FM/cassette stereoand#44; but this car doesnt need A/C to be cool and the workmanship will just blow you away. Its also equipped with a nicely finished trunk that includes a remote-mounted battery and a fuel celland#44; both tucked under carpeted covers for a finished look. Pop the Dzus fasteners on the hood and youll find that the Ford 289 cubic inch V8 looks hot rod perfect thanks to a pair of 4-barrel Edelbrocks on an aluminum intake. Theres a lot of chromeand#44; but even more bright yellow paintand#44; including the Thrust finned valve coversand#44; the block itselfand#44; and even things like the vacuum advance on the distributor. Its properly tuned and the twin carbs acquit themselves well on the hot small blockand#44; giving it lightning-quick throttle response. The C4 3-speed automatic makes it easy to drive and theres a quick-change rear end out back that should be standard equipment on every 32 Ford hot rod. The frame was color-matched to the bodywork save for the chrome front suspensionand#44; which is a dropped I-beam on trailing arms. Front disc brakesand#44; a burbling dual exhaust systemand#44; and a discreetly mounted transmission cooler all help if you want to drive it. Staggered chrome steelies with baby moon hubcaps are the right choice and they wear 195/60/14 front and 235/70/15 rear whitewall radials. With several awards under its beltand#44; this is traditional hot rodding done right. A great pedigreeand#44; quality workmanshipand#44; and a look that will never go out of style make this 32 Ford the one to own. Call today! |
