Power comes from a reliable 350-cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8, ensuring that parts and performance are never in question. It is mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic 350 automatic transmission for smooth cruising. However, the standout feature of this build is the rear suspension; rather than a solid axle, this Highboy utilizes a Corvette independent rear end. This significant upgrade transforms the driving dynamics, allowing the car to soak up bumps and corner with a composure that solid-axle rods simply cannot match. The example offered here utilizes a high-quality Gibbon fiberglass body, finished to a high standard. It was completed in 2003, the result of a comprehensive build with over $70,000 in documented receipts accompanying the sale. The stance is set by a set of Team III wheels that provide the perfect period-correct aesthetic. Inside, the cabin features a full suite of VDO gauges to monitor the engine's vitals. Crucially, this roadster was built with ergonomics in mind; the interior layout has been specifically modified to accommodate a taller driver, offering a comfortable driving position for an operator up to 6'3"--a rarity in the often cramped world of '32 Fords. With its independent suspension and driver-centric cockpit, this Highboy is not just a show piece, but a sorted, high-dollar build ready for long-distance enjoyment.
