This ’32 Ford was built by Steve Metz using a fiberglass body and a pinched frame from Barry Lobeck, and it is powered by a 454ci big-block Chevrolet V8 topped by a pair of Edelbrock 600cfm carburetors and linked to a 700R4 automatic. The car features a four-inch drop axle up front a Pete & Jake’s four-bar rear end, adjustable coilovers, disc brakes, and staggered Colorado Customs billet alloys. The car’s DuPont’s Boyd Coddington Yellow paintwork is complemented by a tan soft top and a color-coordinated interior featuring a custom Billet Specialties leather-wrapped steering wheel, a one-off aluminum dash panel with AutoMeter Phantom gauges, air conditioning, and a custom audio system. Featured in the hardback book “Anatomy of the Hot Rod” by Doug Mitchel, the car was acquired by its current owner in 2015. It is now offered by The Shop Club Seattle, a BaT Local Partner, on consignment with a Washington title.
Metz built the car using a fiberglass body that has a stretched hood, a custom grille, flipped Honda taillights, and Dupont Boyd Coddington Yellow paintwork. It is mounted on a pinched frame from Barry Lobeck, and it features a tan soft top with an oval rear window.
The front end uses a four-bar setup, a 4″ drop axle, a Vega-style steering box, and adjustable coilovers, and out back is a four-bar setup with coilovers. Discs are mounted all around, and the Colorado Custom billet wheels measure 18″ up front and 20″ out back and are mounted with Dunlop rubber.
The custom bench seat is upholstered in tan vinyl, and color-coordinated carpeting likes the floor.
The driver is provided a Billet Specialties wheel wrapped to match and mounted on a polished column, AutoMeter gauges set in a custom panel, a Lokar floor shifter, air conditioning, and an Alpine stereo. Around 1k of the 7,800 indicated miles were added by the current owner.
The 454ci V8 is topped by a pair of Edelbrock carburetors, and headers are linked to a dual exhaust system. An aluminum radiator and an electric fan were also installed along with polished valve covers, pulleys, and a matching air cleaner.
The 700R4 automatic is linked to a 3.50 limited-slip rear end.
The car was featured in the hardback book “Anatomy of the Hot Rod” by Doug Mitchel.
The car is titled as a 1932 Ford using VIN 18238516. The seller is unable to find the number on the car, and the title carries a Classic brand.
