Fiberglass street rod small block Chevy

The 1932 Ford is THE hot rod. There are others, but most hot rods today can trace their histories back to the '32 Ford, and they're as popular today as they ever were. This striking black 5-Window Ford has the right stance, the right profile, and the right hardware to make it look traditional, but all the creature comforts to which we've become accustomed, so it's also easy to enjoy. The body is by fiberglass reinforced with... steel, and after looking at this 5-Window (and at its reasonable price point) you'll realize that glass is the way to go. One, it doesn't rust or get dented, so no worries in the future if you drive it. Two, it finishes very well and the results show everywhere you look on this car. And three, it's obviously newer, so you don't have to deal with a creaky old Ford body and instead enjoy a rod that's tight and quiet on the inside. Black is a cool choice simply because it will always look great, and its simplicity looks great without the need for graphics or pinstripes. It has a minimalist vibe that's perfect for the '32 5-window, especially in streetrod form, and we guarantee that it'll stand out at the next cruise night. It's far from perfect, but this rod was never meant to hide in garages, only to be then shown twice year, so the warmed over look is typical of a vehicle that's been driven and enjoyed since it was built. They skipped the hood side panels but the '32 Ford grille shell is painted to match the body and features a polished insert, plus you get a set of King-Bee-style headlights perched down low on the front suspension. It's got the hotrod look outside but inside it's almost a luxury car. Nicely finished in low-key tan vinyl, the wide buckets were swapped in from a late model vehicle and are comfortable enough even for six-footers, which wasn't the case with a stock '32. A tilt column surely helps, and given the quality of the surroundings, it's easy to imagine taking this one cross-country on the Power Tour. Amenities are sparse but do include power windows and seats, and those plush seating surfaces are all day comfortable. Nicely fitted black carpets and custom tan door panels give it a very polished look inside and cream-faced gauges inside the machine-turned bezel are a great look on the black dash. There's also a three-spoke banjo-style steering wheel with a leather-wrapped rim, and the Lokar shifter that manages the TH400 automatic transmission is a short reach away for the driver. There's also a bit of leftover room in the trunk around the custom enclosure for the battery, gas tank, and side panels, all of which have been finished nicely with fresh wood. A 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 motor with 4-bolt mains provides reliable power for this Ford. Fed by a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor on a performance intake and dressed in plenty of chrome, it certainly has the right look. The brightly detailed engine bay is kind of minimalist, but that's the whole point of a Deuce, isn't it? Block-hugging headers feed a custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system with the right sound and there's a big radiator up front that's cooled by an electric fan. The chassis is neatly detailed and professionally engineered, so it rides great and tracks straight. A TH400 3-speed automatic transmission is linked to a custom 10-bolt rear end which hangs on ladder bars with coil-over shocks. Up front you get more coilovers, there are disc brake all around, and the traditional Cragar SS mag wheels carry 255/60/15 radials to finish the killer look. With the right look, this Ford brings a slightly different twist to the familiar '32 Ford hotrod. It's not subtle, but it is tasteful and comfortable and there's a lot to be said for that. Call today!
