1930 Ford Roadster Henry Fordroadster body on a heavily modified 1932 frame powered by an early 327, backedwith a T5 5 speed manual transmission. This is a pro built bare steel car with around 2000 miles on it. Heres the details of the build. The chassis started out as a 32 frame pinched for a Model A, it was built by Gary Maxwell at Blackboard Hot Rods. I moved the front crossmember back 3” andpinched the front rails to the width of a 32 grill shell. The front spring is mpounted off a pair ofearly Ford wishbones while the front axle is a dropped original Model A fromOkie Joe. Steering is handled with aVega box, theres also F1 shock mounts, a panhard bar and So Cal front shocks. In the rear, an adjustable quarter elipse setup, its all custom made. Theres a pair of Pete & Jakes ladder bars and the rear show mounts are So Cal lowers and heavily modified Walden SpeedShop uppers. The rear axle is a narrowed 9 inch Ford with 5 on 5 ½ axles and 3.25 gears in an open carrier. Front brakes are ’46-48 Ford and rears are also Ford, everything is new or totally redone. All the plumbing is new and done right with 3/16 steel lines with residual valves for brakes and 3/8 steel lines for fuel, theres a Wilwood master cylinder for brakes and a canister style fuel filter with a cast bracket from So Cal. The motor is an early 327 with 1957 Power Pack heads and bitchin’ Offenhauser three deuce setup. The Rochester 2 Jets are a real three deuce steup with one carb that runs the motor and two that are dumps only with no idle circuits or chokes. I am running the motor only off the middle carb right now but the others could be hooked up easily. Theres also a really nice Mallory Double Life distributor with points in it! The motor was gone through about 2000 miles ago with new rings, bearings, oil pump,timing set, etc. The heads were done as well, theres some mile Comp valve springs and a nasty Thumper cam from Comp as well. The transmission is an S10 T5 that’s all new as well, it was modified with gear ratios better suited for this combination. The body is a real Henry Ford Rodaster and is very solid. Its been helped with door skins,lower quarter panel patches and a decklid from Brookville. Theres also a Steadfast Engineering subrailkit in the body as well. I built two tubular sub structures inside the body from 1” .090 wall DOM, theres a braced hoop under the dash and a big X style brace that runs from door jamb behind the seat and under the package tray. The car has just been clear coated to keep the look without rusting. Its got a Duvall style windshield from Past Tech and the dash is from a 1936 Ford. Theres a pair of Stewart Warner Duplex Gauges from a 1933 Chevrolet for water, fuel, oil and amps, they all work except the amp guage, which only goes to 20 amps. The speedometer is a Stewart Warner Police Special and the tach is also period correct Stewart Warner cable drive, thetach works but the speedo does not. The seat is a third row seat frame from a Dodge Caravan that I modified to work in this car, it was re-foamed and covered in tobacco colored vinyl. Pedals are from Walden Speed Shop and were heavily modified to work in this application, the clutch is mechanical and works great. No Leaks! No bleeding! The entire car was wired from scratch front to rear and everything works. I left extra circuits under the dash in the event that the new owner wants to add neon lighting or air conditioning. But please, don’t add neon lighting or air conditioning. Theres a thousand other hand built parts on this car from the clutch linkage to the headlight bar to the radiator, please look at the photos. Overall the car drives great! Vehicle sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied. Feel free to call me at 631-379-6806 with any questions or to arrange an appointment to view the car. Thanks and happy bidding!
