This is an amazingly beautiful all-steel car showing no use. This car is 99% perfect. Building a car this nice would cost $100. 00 to $150. 00. This car is indoor show quality in every way. My family and I have enjoyed it but it is time for a new owner to have some fun with it. It was previously done 60’s style with whitewalls. white top. and white interior. See more on that at the bottom. BODY: All steel (previous owner claimed body was a Dearborn Deuce. but I am not certain). I am certain it is all steel because I have gone over entire body with a magnet. 40 Ford-style dash. Duvall windshield. stainless grille. shaved door handles. hidden door hinges. removable soft top in tan Hartz cloth. Bright-blue metallic showing only minor scratches from installing/removing the top and misaligned door hinges. I have re-aligned both doors. Scratches are only in four areas: top rear corner of both doors and near tabs where top mounts. If you are careful and have help. there is no reason to scratch the car installing or removing the top. Simple and clean pinstriping in tan and light blue at belt line and on trunk lid. CHASSIS: Fatman chassis with Pete & Jakes all-chrome front suspension with tubular axle and polished billet Wilwood disc brakes. Rear end housing is a fully polished STAINLESS STEEL Ford 9” with an aluminum 3rd member and 3. 56 gears. Polished stainless 2-link bars with a stainless panhard bar. Aluminum coil-over shocks and Aerospace billet discs in back. Brakes and steering are manual but function great in a car this light. 15” real Halibrands fully polished on both sides with knock off covers. BF Goodrich 285/70’s on the rear and 195/65’s on the front. The entire chassis and floorpan have been painted the same bright blue as the body. It is as clean and nice as you would expect of any show-winning ride. ENGINE/TRANS: 468 BB Chevy with polised Edelbrock Perfomer RPM heads. 2 polished Edelbrock carbs on a coated Edelbrock intake. Mild hydraulic cam. Cam specs unknown but it is not too wild and not too mild. It has the just-right mean and tough idle but purrs nicely at any speed. Jet-Hot coated and baffled headers are loud but not too loud to enjoy your ride. Fully automatic TH350 with a mild performance torque converter. Just put it in drive and enjoy the ride. INTERIOR: High-grade leather-look vinyl with high-end carpet in cockpit and trunk. Metal floor mats were fabricated to improve fit and finish. They are covered in the same high-end carpet as the floor pan. Radio is mounted under the seat. Engraved aluminum steering wheel mounted on a polished Ididit column. Steering wheel has a quick-release mount to remove the steering wheel. This makes entry and exit easier for drivers who eat as good as I do. Trunk panels are easily removable to access battery and fuse block. ITEMS NEEDED: Vega steering is a little loose. It needs to be adjusted. Radio antenna does not seem to be hooked up but it is there hidden behind the seat. Speedometer does not work. SELLING TERMS: All bidders will have a fair chance to win this auction. I will not end the auction early. Please do not ask my reserve price or if there is a “Buy It Now” price. If the car meets my reserve it will sell. Personal. business. cashier's. or bank check must clear before the vehicle or title will be released to the seller or anyone else. Cash is also accepted. I do have the clear TX title in my name and in my possession. The car is available for inspection and feel free to contact me at 713-416-8601 from 9 am to 7 pm CST any day of the week. SUMMARY: Hot Rod Author and 32 enthusiast Ken Gross wrote about this car in the March/April 2012 issue of American Car Collector. See http://www. americancarcollector. com/car-profiles/hot-rod/item/373-1932-ford-highboy-roadster To summarize he states “this car brought $52. 00” at the Barett Jackson Scottsdale auction in 2012 in it’s previous form as a 60’s style highboy. He further states this car was a “total steal” at that price “considering it was bought at one-third of the build estimate”. It even made the cover of American Car Collector and was dubbed the “Low Ball High Boy” because it was such a good deal for the buyer. Take a look at http://www. americancarcollector. com/premium/digital-issues/american-car-collector-march-april-2012 The car is nicer now and certainly more timeless. In 10 or 20 years this car will still look as good as it does now. And best of all. my reserve price is not that much higher considering the improvements done to the car.
