We know you're checking out this 1932 Ford Highboy roadster because it looks like it could be that perfect one where a bold street machine has all the right upgrades. After all, this was built with legendary components carefully assembled into an award-worthy presentation. So when a low-mileage, performance-built full custom is up for grabs, it's time to take notice. You can just picture rolling down fresh blacktop in a bold yellow icon like this, can't you? This bright modern... hue is officially called Boyd Coddington Smoothie Yellow, and it's part of the color family he used on his famously slick creations. This Highboy certainly lives up to that legend with its BeBops body that combines quality craftsmanship with zero interference from items like handles to get in the way of the smooth-flowing presentation. The boldness of this build doesn't end there. The Pete & Jakes front end is exactly what you want for the right performance in a show-stopping polished presentation. And we know you'll love the custom brown pin-striping that draws attention to everything from the classic Ford emblem up front, to the body accent line that runs the whole profile. The Billet Specialties wheels are staggered 17/20 inches front/rear for an aggressive stance. The modern rubber it wears is so wide that it helps give this roadster an almost two-tone presentation when the black roof is in place. Inside is a tasteful and comfortable tan leather interior. You might have noticed that the exterior pinstripe not only re-appears on the dash, but also it's the color used for all the accent pieces inside on the seats, custom door panels, carpeting, shift boot, and even in the trunk. That's just another sign of a very thoughtful and uniform build. Comfort and style are perfectly mixed as you grab the new three-spoke wood and chrome steering wheel with your left, and you right one may never want to leave the tall gear stick with classic Ford V8 logo. Up on the dash, the big chrome panel houses a full set of classic-style VDO gauges. A motor this nice deserves to be on display for the world to see. That's why you have the option of taking out the side panel whenever you want. Just like the rest of this build, the engine bay is a very uniform presentation where nearly everything is either polished of an exterior-matching yellow. We especially like the ribbed theme that starts on the air topper, moves to the valve covers, and is even continued on the Sanderson exhaust manifolds. More than just look great, this is a fresh Chevy 350 V8 topped with a large Holley 650 CFM double-pumper four-barrel carburetor. So you get a terrific growl out of the MagnaFlow dual exhaust. But don't just listen to the pipes; take a look in the undercarriage photos. There you will see a fully painted underside, which really lets you know the full quality of this build. And don't forget to check out the custom reinforced chassis, stout Ford 9-inch diff, and four-link rear end with coil overs. But more than just an award-worthy total presentation, this is a great driver, too. With features like the three-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes, we know you won't be able to resist adding miles to the low odometer. Complete with build receipts, this is an ionic classic with all the right standout touches. So if you like stealing the show just by showing up, this is the '32 Ford for you. Call now!
