1932 FORD SPRINT CAR ROADSTER 1932 FORD VINTAGE RACE CAR. A COMPLETELY RESTORED PIECE OF FORD RACING HISTORY IS NOW AVAILABLE. THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN THE WINTER OF 1931/ SPRING OF 1932 BY A FORD ENGINEERING EMPLOYEE; THIS CAR WAS RUN DURING THE 1932, 1933, AND 1934 SEASONS AT VARIOUS MID WEST TRACKS. IT IS RESTORED AS LAST RUN IN THE SUMMER OF 1934 AT MOTOR CITY SPEEDWAY, IT’S HOME TRACK. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY HAND FABRICATED AND AS SUCH FEATURES A "ONE OFF" STEEL CHASSIS AND BODY COMBINATION UTILIZING FORD COMPONENTS AS AVAILABLE TO THE BUILDER. A WARMED UP 1932 FORD "B" DIAMOND BLOCK IS COUPLED TO A MODEL A TRANSMISSION AND MODIFIED (LOCKED) MODEL A REAR END. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A THOMAS HEAD AND RARE MATCHING THOMAS INTAKE. OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE AN ON BOARD STARTER AND CLUTCH WHICH MAKES IT EASY AND ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE. UNLIKE MANY CARS OF THE ERA, THIS ONE IS QUITE ROOMY AND CAN ACCOMMODATE A 200 POUNDER WITHOUT A PROBLEM, YET IS LIGHTER THAN MOST OF THE SPRINT CARS OF THIS ERA WEIGHING 1122 LBS, WET. MOST OF THE COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL, STEERING BOX, ROCK SCREEN, PITMAN ARM, FRONT AXEL, WISHBONES AND MOST BODYWORK COMPONENTS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AS FOUND. UPDATES ARE LIMITED TO AN ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP, STAINLESS STEEL FUEL TANK, SIMPSON RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND 16 INCH FORD WHEELS WHICK ACCOMMODATE THE MICHELIN COMPETITION REAR AND FIRESTONE RIBBED FRONT TIRES. THE CAR WAS RESTORED FOR AND FEATURED AT FORD'S 100 YEARS OF RACING CELEBRATION. (2001) SUBSEQUENTLY, IT WAS FEATURED IN THE FORD RACING DISPLAY AT FORD'S 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY (2003) AS WELL AS THE EARLY FORD V-8 CLUB GRAND NATIONAL MEET IN DEARBORN. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN FEATURED AT THE MOTOR MUSTER AT GREENFIELD VILLAGE AS WELL AS SOME HALF TIME SHOWS AT VARIOUS USAC SPRINT/MIDGET RACES IN OHIO. THE PICTURES TELL IT ALL. ITS AS MUCH FUN TO DRIVE AS IT IS TO LOOK AT. A GUARANTEED CONVERSATION PIECE IN A DISPLAY AREA AND/OR AT A TRACK. I NEED MORE SPACE IN MY DISPLAY AREA. I HAVE A VINTAGE (1939) FORD STOCK CAR LISTED IN A SEPARATE AUCTION. IT IS MY INTENTION TO SELL ONE OF THESE CARS AND THE SALE OF ONE WILL CANCEL THE AVAILABILITY OF THE OTHER.
