1932 Ford Highboy Roadster 3 Speed Manual 239ci Flathead V8 Light Blue
Early Ford body designs have been a notoriously popular platform for customization into street rods for many years. Particularly the Model A and early Ford V8 styles of the 1930's. A great number of designers and builders have captured the attention of classic car enthusiasts with their more appealing high horsepower drivetrains along with sculpted body lines and typical wild paint jobs! Each one different than the next, owning a custom 1930's Ford is a great way to add an individual touch to your collection! Offered here is a gorgeous 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster finished in a vibrant Blue with Tan vinyl interior perfectly accented with Light Blue and Tan pinstriping! Power comes from an 8BA-generation 239ci Flathead V8 with earlier generation center port 59A Offenhauser finned aluminum 24-stud heads and an Offenhauser dual carb aluminum intake fitted with Ford 59 carburetors and Edmonds oval aluminum air cleaners. Spark delivery is provided with a Mallory dual-point distributor and coil with a billet heat shield. Ceramic coated exhaust headers feed twin Smitty mufflers for an outstanding hot rod sound! Cooling efficiency is provided by a Brassworks radiator up front. Power output is now estimated at 125 horsepower and delivered through a floor-shifted 3-speed manual transmission and Ford 9" rear axle. Beginning this build in the mid 1990's, a new 1932 style roadster chassis was modified and reinforced with a front & rear 4-link parallel suspension with horizontal leaf springs. The front received a 4" tubular drop axle with a manual steering box; along with drum brakes, braided stainless steel brake lines, and Pete and Jakes chrome shock absorbers at all four corners. The fiberglass Roadster body was supplied from Downs Industries which was expertly molded with wood & steel reinforcements, hidden door & trunk hinges, and a cockpit that was stretched 2" to provide more cabin leg room for occupants. It was painted an eye-catching shade of blue and carefully pinstriped by artist, Shakey, in 1998 upon completion with a combination of blue and tan! It will come with complete steel hood assembly already painted to match, with only the upper hood in use presently.
