1932 Ford Hot Rod Tudor Radical Olds Rocket 88 324 V8 Tri Power 97's Winters

Let me say from the beginning, this rig is just flat out bitch'n, fun and hard core 50's style. Part of a collection, this gem was restored by a gentleman with a lifetime of early Ford and Hot Rod roots...

OK Daddy-O, here's the scoop! Always on the lookout for the next project, the owner/restorer found this in the Santa Ynez Valley of California, where it had been resting for more than 50 years. Tattered from time and missing a few components, he began to un-ravel part of it's unique history. It had been "rumored" by several un-related local parties to have been originally modified by George Barris and/or a Barris Custom but was never verified. Either way, it's 50's style, radical chop and several other related components made this Hot Rod a very special project spanning a few years while he gathered the needed items to complete the restoration and revive this work of art....

Resting on a thorough/complete professional body-off restoration and finished in high quality Bright Yellow basecoat/clearcoat. The radical 5" inch chopped/filled roof stands exactly as it was done back in the day. However as expected, the owner stripped all filler/lead, strengthened metal where needed and utilized modern welding technics to bring it up to today's quality standards. The rest of the body received the same level of attention. Other features include louvered hood, flush mount windshield, hidden fuel door behind L taillamp, body color grill shell, commercial style headlamps and riding on Steelie wheels with big/little Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial rubber...

Resting under the hood is a nicely detailed Oldsmobile "Olds Rocket 88" 324ci V8 poked 30 over with typical period performance mods including Tri Power Stromberg 97's, aluminum Weiand intake manifold, remote oil filter, tube headers and Magnaflow dual exhaust. Transferring the vintage horsepower is a cast iron Hydra-Matic transmission and Winters quick change rear differential. Except for a few changes, the restored chassis remains pretty much like it was done back in day with dropped front axle, original Buick drum front brakes, spilt front wish-bone w/traverse spring, gas front shocks, adjustable coil over rear and highly detailed components....

Moving inside, you will find neatly tucked black naugahyde wrapped around 34' Ford bucket seats, faux rear seat, black loop carpet, custom body color dash w/old school pin-striping, winged Stewart Warner instrumentation, 55' Ford steering column/shifter and a Gas Pedal. Ok? Got It, Daddy O....
