Ford : Other

Previously this car was part of Gary Robertson's collection. a renowned collector of real tin 1932 Ford for many decades. When I bought this rare coupe in 2009 this car was registered for the last time in March 1971.

This original 3-Windows coupe kept all the original things including the functional cowl hood vent. the functional front windshield. the functional rear window. the cowl lights. the factory door hinges and handles. And the more important. it's a very rare unshopped top! No rust and No patch on this 83 years old original Henry Ford steel body!

The steel dash and all the windows mouldings are chromed in the pure traditional nostalgia theme.

In the interior the red leather expertly crafted to seamlessly flow throughout the entire cabin including the headliner. The sweet aroma of leather when you open the door alone puts a smile on your face.

The chassis is fully boxed. A Vintage Chassis Works front straight axle is fitted with an Unisteer rack and pinion steering system. The 9”rear axle is supported by a triangulated 4-link bar system and adjustable coil-over shocks.

Under the hood lies a vintage 429 Ford engine recently overhauled will all the best. The output of this engine was rated on dyno at 420 horsepowers and 480 lb. ft. of torque. With the motor located back of the front axle. the battery and the gas tank in the rear. the total weight of the car still equally distributed between front and rear axles.

All is kept cool by a genuine Walker cooper radiator.

Putting the power to the ground is a robust C6 tranny recently overhauled with all the best. In the 9'' rear end a posi-traction unit and a 2. 75 gear ratio set-up was installed for a relaxing 1900 rpm at 60 mph.

The fuel tank is all steel measuring 16-gallons.

Braking is performed by a real set of vintage power-full Buick drum brakes fitted with Ford back-plates. No fake-drum here. And no need to worry. these brakes are from a Buick Electra 225 and are made to stop big car.

The wheels are powder-coated original 1935 Ford 16'' genuine wire wheels and they are a perfect fit with the new Firestone 6. 00-16 inthe front and 7. 50-16 inthe rear.

The entire vehicle was fully rewired using a Ron Francis fuse panel and harnesses.

All the paint-striping was done by hand by a renowned old school paint-striper.

Further features and accessories include a complete Stewart Warner Eagle series gauges. Lokar shifter. cowl lights with built in flasher. halo-gene headlights. vintage Philco-Ford radio. Cobra seatbelts.

This is truly a sharp 1932 Henry Steel Ford Coupe that can be utilized for shows. cruises. and touring immediately!
