1932 Ford Tudor Sedan Street Rod with a Chevy 350

If a panel of street rodders had to pick one model year and one make as the most iconic hot rod the year would most likely be 1932 and the vehicle make would definitely be Ford. A '32 (or Deuce) Ford is shorthand for street rod regardless of body style. Granted, '32 roadsters and coupes are at the top of the list, but Tudor sedans aren't far behind. One look at this Grabber Blue all-steel chopped '32 Ford highboy street rod is all that's needed to understand the popularity of this body style. Chopped, fenderless, raked, fitted with a classic wheel/tire combo, and powered by a modified small-block Chevy V-8 checks all the boxes on how to build a street rod. Besides being wonderful to admire standing still this hot rod is very fun to drive and it handles like a race car. The engine in this '32 Tudor highboy is a Chevrolet 350-cu.in. small-block V-8 of unspecified vintage and with no details about internal modifications although the seller does point out that the induction system consists of three two-barrel carburetors. The provided photos show a nicely detailed engine bay with a body-colored block and cylinder heads, finned/polished valve covers with Offenhauser breathers, and block-hugger exhaust headers. An electric fan and a polished overflow tank are also shown. The exhaust system is stainless steel . Cold starts use a hand choke with a couple throttle pumps and the engine fires right up with no leaks, who adds that the GM Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic transmission works and shifts great. The Tudor's highboy profile has been enhanced by a three-inch chop, filled roof, shaved door hinges, and a louvered hood. The eye-catching paint color is Grabber Blue, a color traditionally associated with late Sixties high-performance Mustangs. The body is all steel and the seller describes the paint condition as perfect show quality with no blemishes or rust. The tinted glass was brand new last year, and the seals are all good. The car has a frenched third brake light and traditional pinstriping on the grille shell and rear of the body. The taillights have LED bulbs. - The bright white vinyl upholstery provides a sharp contrast to the blue exterior and is equally complementary to the blue carpet. - the condition of the upholstery, seat adjustments, carpet, and headliner as perfect. The upper cushion of the rear seat folds down for added cargo flexibility. There is an AM/FM/CD player with four speakers and a cell phone charging port. As an aid to viewing traffic signals with the chopped top a vintage Guide view finder was mounted on the pinstriped dashboard. The Auto Meter gauges all work great . The blue seat belts match the carpet, and the car has tilt steering and a working heater. -- the Deuce sedan handles like a go-kart thanks to its new suspension which features a Super Bell dropped I-beam front axle with a sway bar, lowered transverse spring, split radius rods, and chrome tubular shocks. The front brakes are discs. The 9-inch Ford rear end has a Panhard bar and a torsion bar . The rear brakes are drums, but the brakes and other suspension components are new. The car has an excellent hot rod stance thanks in part to a rubber rake from big'n'little BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires mounted on vintage Halibrand mag wheels. The seller insists that the wheels are original Halibrand wheels from the Sixties which is a big deal with street rodders. This 1932 Ford Tudor highboy street rod comes with documentation related to the work done . With its Chevy 350, chopped roof, eye-catching paint and raked stance, this Deuce has classic street rod style to spare.
