For sale by a private party is this traditional styled 1932 Ford Cabriolet ‘Hot Rod’ painted in 1992 Honda Milano Red 2-stage urethane. It is a Gibbons fiberglass body, including the fenders, running boards, and top. It uses a Root Lieb aluminum hood and grille. The car IS titled as a 1932 Ford too.

NO TRADES

The build was completed in 1999 and is currently on its second owner who purchased the car in 2003. Since then just over 21,000 miles have been logged on the VDO odometer.

Power comes from a stock and rebuilt 60’s vintage 283 c.i. Chevrolet V-8 with a traditional three, two-barrel setup backed by a Saginaw 4-speed. Dual exhaust with ‘Smitty’ style mufflers give the ‘Deuce’ that nice low idle rumble (listen to video).

The frame is a ‘boxed’ 1932 item which uses the original style ‘buggy’ spring in the front and rear. A 1957 Chevrolet rear differential w/3.36:1 open gears uses Pete & Jake’s ladder bars to hold it in place.

The interior and door panels are Naugahyde with an arm rest built in on the Glide seat. VDO gauges keep track of the vital fluids and MPH. The rumble seat (hidden release behind the seat) can either be used for passengers or storage.

See the specifics below and feel free to ask any questions. Owner is selling for personal reasons.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for since 2002 and maintained a close to a 100% rating during most of that period. Around 2011 I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all of the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
