1932 Ford Vicky Additional Info:

In a world of hot-rod factories turning out seemingly endless variations of the same car, this 1932 Ford victoria comes as a welcome bit of contrast. Sure, it's fiberglass, but the extra effort to make it unique really pays off with a cool look and impeccable attention to detail, making this one truly stand out.The Heritage victoria body style is the ideal blend of sporty and practical. Not as frumpy as a 2-door sedan but with a back seat that coupes can't offer, it's just a great-looking car. As you can see, the builder nailed the 1932 Ford look, with flowing fenders, a painted radiator shell up front, and oversized commercial headlights to give it an old-fashioned look. An open engine compartment with a big polished blower is a traditional hot rod styling element and they really tried to give it a smoothie look with shaved hinges and door handles, plus fiberglass running boards. The brilliant yellow paint is simply gorgeous and there must be hundreds of hours in the prep work and final finish, making this a car that will stand out everywhere it goes. Twin taillights out back keep the nostalgic look, hanging on either side of a chrome spreader bar and a custom painted gas tank.They colored a bit outside the lines for the interior, too, giving it a modern look with interesting materials. The two-tone leather buckets are from a late-model and are nicely upholstered to be both striking and comfortable. Matching door panels look dramatic and the fully finished back seat area is big enough for adults. Features like a center console, a tilt column, Vintage Air A/C, and an AM/FM/CD stereo in an overhead console are all included, as you'd expect from a quality rod like this. The gauges are from VDO and are fitted in a custom billet gauge panel that almost looks like an original piece. Heck, it's even got seat belts and cup holders, making this a car you could drive every day! This Vicki has a neat trunk access door in back, so there's a bit of useful storage that doesn't require pulling out the rear seat to access. Mechanically, this one was built to run. Power comes from a Jon Barrett built Chevy 350 cubic inch V8 topped by a BDS 6-71 blower making six pounds of boost. Twin Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors feed the blown small block and it's lit up by an MSD ignition system. Everything is polished, plated, or painted, which is important when your engine is always on display and you can see that a lot of extra time went into hiding the wiring and plumbing. With a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and highway-friendly gears in the Ford 9-inch rear, it's an effortless highway cruiser and it rides quite well with a Mustang II independent front suspension. The rear suspension is a 4-link with coil-overs and there's a disc brake at all four corners. The Heritage chassis and most of the components were painted to match the bodywork, but it's been driven 4668 miles since it was completed, so it's not perfect but you also know it's sorted. Shiny Torque Thrust wheels have a retro look and carry a big-n-little tire combination with 205/45/17s up front and 255/60/17s out back. This car also comes with a build book and documentation so you know all the details for servicing and proper operation, and it's got enough horsepower to make other hot rods run and hide. This rod is an awesome way to stand out in a crowd without reinventing the wheel. Call today!
