Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car. in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight. in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree. 1932 TITLED STEEL & FIBERGLASS BODIED 'TONY NANCY 22JR TRIBUTE' & "STREETRODDER MAGAZINE FEATURED" HIGHBODY ROADSTER WITH ROLLBAR. DIAMOND SEATS.

Not all cloned hot rods are created equal. Take this orange Deuce for example. "Although all of Tony Nancy's four competition roadsters were red Model A's and powered by either Flatheads or Nailheads. differences aside there's something eerily familiar about this orange car. if only aesthetically. Its because Steve Dennish (from Limehouse) didn't copy one of Tony's cars but from the obvious influence of Tony's style and what began as a 60's style 'drag and show car' he ended up producing not a clone but an original tribute to the man. Built out of a combination of original parts with no 'Limeworks' fabricated parts apart from the Moon tank brackets. a few speed parts and the rest built by hand. Steve built a car just like Tony did in his day. The chassis is standard fare; a pair of stock style Deuce rails that have been boxed and paired with a combination of Model A and tubular crossmembers. The engine a 400 Chevy with dual quads and a set of weed burner pipes with its location emblematic of '60's drag racing and set back rearward. Every part of the cockpit is 1960's appropriate. The car was painted at the renown 'Bob's Autobody' also of Whittier. California and the trim ironically enough at 'Tony's Auto Upholstery' also of Whittier. California and the cars graphics and lettering were actually finished by a pin-striper who coincidentally had lettered the last two or three of Tony Nancy's cars. Tony Nancy was pretty much in a league of his own in an era when precedence in drag racing had yet to be fully established. Tony's attention to detail made him legendary and no drag racer concious of a 'rails appearance considered a car finished until Tony pleated it in his hallmark 'diamond pattern'. Dubbed 'The Loner' by his fans for his ability to field a successful race by himself and he himself dubbed every one of those race cars with the number he acquired as a roadster racer: 22JR. This rod drives on the freeway like a rocket and as straight as an arrow. Please note that the slick tires and E. T. wheels have been replaced (see photos below) by more street friendly tires and the original 'In Memory of Tony Nancy' graphics have been removed by the rods most recent owner and the steering wheel has been replaced. We understand that this rod was originally purchased from Limehouse for approximately $89K and since its purchase it has only driven some very easy 5. 00 miles! The rod has been further upgraded since then with vintage brakes with steel lines. a new steering wheel. seat belts. progressive linkage. proportional valves and transmission cover! Purchased recently by West Coast Classics from its most recent southern California collector/owner with original Jeff Hyman appraisal and StreetRodder magazine article available. The rod was again recently serviced (4/2013) at Limeworks where the front rims and all brake components were removed and the inner and outer wheel bearings re-greased and reinstalled; the carbs adjusted and the headers removed and re-fitted. The engine was tuned and the timing adjusted. Only some 5. 00 miles since the build and obviously always garaged. covered and with no accidents since the build. owned and driven since then by only obviously very careful and meticulous owners - never ever abused - babied all the way! The 'Custom Orange' color paint and '22 JR' graphics are in absolutely beautiful and flawless condition and the car still looks like it just left 'Limehouse'. The black diamond pleated seats and interior are also in absolutely beautiful condition throughout with no signs of wear and the dashboard. carpets and headliner are also all in as new condition! This Hot Rod drives exactly like a newly built low mileage rod should. the engine is extremely strong with no oil leaks and the temperature always remains cool. You will look long and hard to find a finer example of this genuine 1932 Ford and as we all know. only a deuce is a deuce! The 1932 Ford is regarded as being the definitive hot rod and has been since the birth of hot rodding as we know it back in the thirties. The Deuces popularity is easy to understand as in 1932 the Ford engineers developed a worthy successor to the obsolete Model A. a masterful new design with more power and more elegant lines and the timeless grille of the Deuce meant that no other car was as sought after for hot rodding into the forties and they remain as popular today as they were then! Stock '32 frames provide substantially greater torsional rigidity than the previous 1928-31 models and since 1932 was the first year of production for Ford's V8. installing a later V8 was easier than before. Also the Deuce was the only car Ford ever made that had the sides of the frame rails exposed. This particular 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster is as well known and documented a custom Deuce as you can hope to find and as such it is like no other vehicle on the road and a pure statement of individuality! It will undoubtedly continue to prove to be a very worthwhile investment for the Hot Rod or Deuce enthusiast or simply easily prove to be the most fun you ever had in a car!
