This 1932 Ford is a five-window coupe that is said to have been refurbished and modified under previous ownership before it was acquired by the selling dealer, Gas Monkey Garage, in 2018. The steel body rides on a So-Cal Speed Shop chassis with boxed rails and is finished in gold metalflake over white leather upholstery. Power comes from a Chevrolet 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed TH350 automatic transmission. Equipment includes dual Weber carburetors, a Chevrolet Vega-sourced steering box, a chrome dropped front axle, front disc brakes mounted behind Buick finned drums, dump tube headers with bypass plates, a power-operated bench seat, and an under-dash CD player. This Ford hot rod is now offered as part of the Gas Monkey Garage Collection at no reserve with a clean Texas title.
The fenderless steel body was finished in gold with white pinstriping under previous ownership and features a chrome rear bumper, dual-exit exhausts, a white roof insert, a driver-side mirror, a hood without side panels, and a body-color grille surround with a chrome insert.
The 15″ polished five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with whitewall 195/65 Federal Super Steel 621 front tires and 265/75 Hankook Dynapro AS rear units in a big-and-little setup. The front end features a chrome dropped beam axle with chrome radius rods and tube shocks, while the rear suspension consists of a body-color transverse leaf spring, chrome tube shocks, and a live axle. A Chevrolet Vega-sourced steering box was fitted under previous ownership. Stopping power is provided by front disc brakes mounted in finned Buick drums as well as rear drums.
The cabin features a power-operated bench seat trimmed in white leather with gold piping. Matching upholstery extends to the headliner and door panels, and additional equipment includes gold carpets, lap belts, an under-dash Pioneer CD player, and a fire extinguisher.
The two-tone Chevrolet steering wheel fronts a body-color dashboard housing an engine-turned instrument panel and Moon gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 10k miles, approximately 100 of which were added by the selling dealer. Total mileage is unknown.
The trunk features white leather panels with gold piping and gold carpets. An Optima Yellow Top battery is housed in a body-color steel trunk.
The 350ci Chevrolet V8 features dual Weber carburetors, finned valve covers, and a chrome alternator. An electric cooling fan is fitted, as are dump tube headers with bypass plates.
The car rides on a So-Cal Speed Shop chassis with boxed frame rails. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed TH350 automatic transmission.
