Ford Coupe 350 V8 Crate 1932

General description : PERIOD LOOK WITH MODERN GEAR, 350/TH350, GR8 COLORS, GIBBONS BODY, VINTAGE AIR!!

For all-out attitude and a super-traditional look, it's hard to beat this '32 Ford 3-window coupe. Stripped down to its bare essentials, it has the look of a pure street brawler, and if it could, it would probably have a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled up in its T-shirt sleeve. This looks like the car every hot-rodder of the '50s dreamed of building, but under the skin it packs 21st century technology that makes more sports car than vintage hot rod.
The body is Gibbons fiberglass, not ancient steel patched back together, and until you've seen one of these high-quality reproductions, you can't imagine how well they fit together. Excellent gaps, a beautiful gel coat that has been properly prepped, and seamless finishing that makes it impossible to tell it apart from its steel counterparts. The unusual Niles Green paint is from the 1941 color chart and gives it a fantastic no nonsense look that is insanely appealing. A modest chop gives it a traditional look, and a three-piece hood with lots of louvers adds to the '50s vibe. Add in a nicely fitted top insert, the oversized commercial headlights, and 1950 Pontiac taillights, and it looks like this car might have been built in, say, 1954. No matter what you're driving, you're probably going to give this little Deuce coupe a lot of leeway on the road.
In the 1950s, few hot-rodders could afford a fully finished interior, let alone the leather tuck-and-roll job inside this coupe, but this is no ordinary rod. The gorgeous green and white bench offers vastly more adjustability than the original piece, which means this car is all-day comfortable, even for taller drivers. Custom door panels were stitched up to match, and the dark green carpets are nicely bound and finished. There's a full complement of Stewart Warner gauges keeping an eye on the engine, all framed by a gorgeous engine-turned panel. Custom eyeball vents for the Vintage Air A/C system, a Lokar shifter, and an overhead console with an AM/FM/CD stereo all add to the high-quality feel and make this car a pleasure to drive. This coupe also includes a neatly finished trunk with plenty of room for your gear.
There was no messing around when it came time to make horsepower: that's a fresh Summit Racing 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 that was built to run. Dressed in its own coat of black paint, there are a few tricks like the finned valve covers, OEM Chevy air cleaner, and an HEI ignition system. A 4-barrel carburetor is set up properly, so the car fires up quickly and runs superbly out on the open road and thanks to a thumper cam, it sounds suitably nasty. There's a big radiator up front and the owner reports that it doesn't get fussy, even on the hottest days with the A/C cranking. The transmission is a TH350 3-speed automatic feeding a GM 10-bolt with 3.08 gears inside, so it's relaxed at 70 MPH. Front disc brakes give this Ford impressive stopping power, and with a monochromatic paint job that gives the chassis a highly detailed look, it's a shame to take this little coupe off the lift. It achieves a traditional big-n-little look by using vintage artillery wheels with staggered Firestone bias-ply skinnies for a genuine old-school feel.
Sure, you could build your own, but not for less than this, and you certainly can't duplicate this one's level of fit and finish for the price. Call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
