Description for Ford Roadster 1932

Hello: I own a Rod Shop in the Saramento, CA. area. I have done a great deal of Work / Repair and Upgrades to this car in the last 2-3 years. I am helping the 82 year owner who can no longer drive it-- sell this car. I do feel I know the car quite well, and can answer any question concerning it. This car was built as a "Resto Rod" in every way. This is a "Glass Body" 1932 Roadster---The body appears to be an early Gibbons / Wescott body with the oringinal looking firewall. Rumble Seat deck lid is fully functional with seat and upolstery. This body is extremly strong and well built. Car was purchesed as a Highboy around 2005 --disassembled and built with the best parts available to what you see now. It has a flat panel "32" dash with AutoMeter gauges. Lokar floor shifter / E Brake. Completely rebuilt GM tilt column (even the Turn Signals) and New LeCarra "Banjo" steering wheel and adapters with changable insert-- currently has the Wood Insert in it. Column is Keyless-- key is in dash. It has a steel original style "Rootlieb Hood". Steel 32 Grille Shell and stainless insert. "Stainless Cowl Lights" are now the front "turn Signals".

Spare Tire is from All Orinal Parts- the Rim / an original type Tire / all mounts and an oringinal Key Locking Spare HubCap--with the keys. It also has an Original and Super rare- rear view mirrior "Clock".This was an accessory on very High dollars cars in the 30's--- the owner had to buy 3 just to have enough parts for a Watch / Jeweler person repair and have 1 working.The cost was unreal --- but thats what he wanted and is current mounted in the rear veiw mirrior. This is NO reprodution. The Chassis The Frame is what appears to be a TCI with 4 bar triangulated 9 inch medium bearing rear end with a TCI style Sway Bar and QA1 adjustable / dampening shocks .Rear brakes are large Drum. The ratio is around 3:00 open. Recently the front end suspension was upgraded to "Heihts Super Ride" --IFS with sway bar and QA1 adjustable shocks / rack and pinion steering / Wilwood disc brakes.
