To build a top-shelf street rod, you must begin with a vision. When done correctly, the result will be on par with this 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster built in 2021 - it is a classic street rod. The fiberglass body is a quality piece. A Calypso Cream basecoat/clearcoat finish was professionally done and is outstanding. Accents include a distinct Dick Rodwell handmade curved/angled windshield w/2" chop, Blue Dot taillights and a Hoosier steel hood with black leather straps and McMillan stainless strips. The custom top-frame mounts a black Hartz ragtop w/smoked glass postal window that is lift-off removable. The classic '32 grill is flanked by Speedway 10" headlight buckets with LED lights and built in turn signals. Front suspension components have received the complete chrome treatment and 15" 'steelie' wheels mount time-honored baby moons/trim rings and new BFGoodrich Silvertown wide-white radials. In order to enhance the driving experience, there is a stunning custom interior. Black leather upholstery is fitted to a 2-way adjustment bench seat w/seat belts. An FR steering column mounts a Flaming River wheel w/V8 logo horn button and silver-face Dakota Digital VHX gauges are installed in a '40 Ford-style dash. There is a polished Rodworx mirror, leather door pull straps, remote battery posts and a SoCal electric decklid release for the meticulously finished trunk. Finally, the roadster is 'Radio Delete' to eliminate useless banter unrelated to performance.
Horsepower comes from a serious 350ci Chevy that was built in 2021. The small-block is dressed to look like an 'Olds Rocket V8' with custom valve covers that incorporate plug wire loops - very cool. Fuel is fed by an old-school 3x2 Holley set-up on a custom aluminum intake manifold. A Joe Hunt magneto provides fire and cooling is managed by a steel radiator with auxiliary fans. Ceramic coated Sanderson 'LimeFire' headers route exhaust in multiple directions. Behind this powerful 'Mouse' is a GM 3-speed automatic gearbox that feeds torque to a 9" Ford posi-traction differential. The spotless custom chassis integrates manual power steering, power assisted 4-wheel disc brakes and a sophisticated suspension. The front utilizes a dropped straight axle with coilover shocks/radius rods and the rear is 4-link with coilovers. There is much, much more - a full binder of documentation/receipts is provided. This handsome street rod must be seen to be appreciated. It will soon make one new owner very proud. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS"
