Vehicle Detail
1932 Ford roadster traditional hot rod. Old Ai (Anderson Industries) fiberglass body that has been highly customized. Channeled 6”+ over newly built 2x3 steel tube chassis with heavy x-center brace. Frame rails are gennie Henry '32 from firewall forward. VIN is stamped into frame and car is titled as a real 1932 Ford roadster. This is a rude, kinda crude, loud, nasty mans-car hot rod that is not for the faint of heart. It has never been washed or cleaned and it never will be as long as I own it. Some people call it a rat rod, but there is really nothing rat about it – no do-dads or barbed wire or stuff installed just to shock you. It is a fully functional, very basic, very reliable drive-anywhere car. It has been driven on several 300-mile plus road trips with no issues. It has also been dirt track raced and works very well on the track, nothing broke. I will load it on your transport truck for you or bring your trailer or fly in and drive it home. For overseas buyers I will be happy to deliver it to any Florida port (Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville) and get it to your freight forwarder at no charge.
