Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to present this sharp black 1932 Ford Roadster Pickup for sale. It's not very often that we see one of these little pickups, and it's a rarity to get one that's this level of "cool". It's built on an original 1932 Ford frame, and features an original grille. The body shell is a Briggs composite, outfitted with traditional style rubber flooring, and synthetic leather seating. The bed is a reproduction, and is made of steel. Under the hood is a Chevrolet 350 CID V8, which is topped with an Edelbrock AVS2 4BBL carb, and fitted with coated shorty headers, which funnel the exhaust into a nice sounding custom dual system. Backing the SBC is something that adds to the coolness factor: a 5-speed manual transmission (sourced from a 1990 Camaro), with first gear "down and left". Ignition is handled by a GM HEI setup, and a PowerMaster high output PWM-9612 starter to get things lit off. Power gets to the ground via a 1940 Ford rear spring setup, and steering is handled by a Chevy Vega steering gearbox. The front suspension and axle are "early Ford", and the 4-wheel drum brakes are large 1940 Ford style. This little go-buggy rides on steel wheels that are wrapped with radial tires. Inside, the bench seat is equipped with seatbelts, and the dash features an engine-turned gauge bezel with vintage style gauges (including modern VDO speedo and tach), along with switches for the turn signals, headlights, electric radiator fan, and the heater fan. Some of the more recent updates (in the last 3 years) include replaced suspension bushings, clutch slave cylinder, oil pan gasket, rear main seal. Plus, the Harts radiator was steam cleaned, repaired and tested and the electric fan was added. One of the most fun features, however, is the convertible top: fold that canvas top down, and enjoy vintage open air cruising in one of the most unique little pickups around while you haul the whatever (grin).

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
