This 1932 Ford Vicky is a highly stylized tribute to the originaland#44; combining the stance and performance attitude of a traditional hi-boy with 21st century tech the create one of the most innovative rods weve ever seen. Beautifully finished with tens of thousands of dollars in recent workand#44; its the car you drive if you want to be the center of attention everywhere you go. The two-tone paint combination accentuates the radically altered 2-door victoria body styleand#44; which is itself a modified Rats Glass tub. If you squint just rightand#44; you can still see the faint hint of the favorite 32 Ford bodywork in there somewhereand#44; from the traditional grille up front to the handsome beltline and wheel arch moldings that define the cars lower edges. The top half is painted Mercedes-Benz silver and the lower areas are fire engine redand#44; making for a high-impact look that also seems sleek and sophisticated. Youll also note a bright orange stripe around the perimeter and noand#44; its not nearly as garish as youd think. Finish quality is outstandingand#44; as youd expectand#44; and the ultra-smooth look extends to every single partand#44; including the gently curved windshieldand#44; the flush-mounted LED taillight strip in backand#44; and the profile-hugging top that gives it such a radical wedge-shaped look. HID headlightsand#44; lots of exposed chrome suspension bitsand#44; and those delicate little side mirrors all add up to a car that recalls the past but is looking squarely into the future. The four-place interior is spectacularand#44; with custom-made buckets at the cornersand#44; all wrapped in bright red leather. Just about everything inside this car was custom madeand#44; from the sleek center console to the intricate door panelsand#44; and even the cool two-tone steering wheel. A simple gauge panel with simple instruments has the right look and they were careful to use red and silver in such a way as to balance everything out inside. Suicide-style doors open with a hand-held remote or hidden buttons and its so fresh that theres still protective wrapping on the carpets themselves. Even the steering column and bracket are a beautifully formed piece of sculpture that turns a functional piece into a focal point. Theres a hidden iPod stereo systemand#44; custom switches in the console for the power windowsand#44; and the neatest little shifter weve ever seen. The back seat area is first class all the wayand#44; with plenty of roomand#44; and an interface for your iPodand#44; which is stowed behind the left rear seat. Somehowand#44; some wayand#44; they managed to stuff a 468 cubic inch Chevy V8 under the pointed hoodand#44; a truly remarkable feat of engineering. Everything on the engineand#44; from the Demon carburetor up top to the valve covers to the water pump has been chrome plated or polishedand#44; and the block itself was painted to match the red lower body. It features aluminum heads to build horsepower and shave weightand#44; and an aluminum radiator up front uses an electric fan to stay cool. Its backed by a built TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a very trick Winters quick-change rear end that uses a Jaguar independent suspension and inboard disc brakes. Up front you get tubular A-armsand#44; coil-oversand#44; and disc brakesand#44; and the exhaust is custom made using glasspack-style mufflers and a ceramic coating to make it shine. Deeply staggered Boyd Coddington wheels give it just the right look and carry low-profile performance radials. Every bit the show car it appears to beand#44; this incredible 32 Ford is gorgeous to look atand#44; a blast to driveand#44; and even at this priceand#44; impossible to duplicate. Call today! |
