This 1932 Ford custom roadster was professionally constructed from the ground-up to show-quality requirements. Previously owned by Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey Garage, the all-steel Ford is completed in Plum Crazy Purple metallic, laser-straight and absolutely sanded and buffed to a mirror end, with pinstripes laid out by Daniel Gay. The absolutely boxed chassis is as properly detailed because the physique, that includes a chrome dropped entrance axle with Vega steering field and chromed hairpins. The rear is a Currie nine-inch differential with chrome ladder bars. Hydraulic brakes with period-correct Buick finned entrance drums and custom Wilson backing plates deal with stopping chores.
Power comes from an HC-code 327ci small-block topped with six Stromberg carburetors on an Offenhauser consumption, plus custom Rams Horn exhausts with useful cutouts, all backed by a Muncie four-speed transmission. The two-tone black and white tuck and roll inside, impressed by the Tom McMullen roadster, contains a “glide” adjustable entrance seat. Another inside spotlight is the Mooneyes engine-turned Auburn-style sprint panel. All this rolls on chrome Smoothie Mercury rims with Firestone broad whitewall tires.
