Overview

I’ve logged several hundred miles this past Summer driving to weekend car shows, and it starts, runs and drives like a modern car. In fact, the longest trip was just over an hour each way, all highway with one hand on the wheel, and it was a pleasure to drive. Don’t get me wrong, this is a Hot Rod, and you do feel the bumps, but no squeeks, rattles, or shaking. And with electronic fuel injection, disc brakes, power steering, radial tires, Vintage heat/air conditioning, and power windows, the ride is civilized crazyness!

It’s been described as sounding like someone trying to jackhammer their way out of Hell! Not obnoxious, but a deep, rich, rythmic pounding that makes the ground shake. Inside, with 2-layers of Dynamat insulation, it’s quieter than my ‘07 Mustang!

FAQs Answered

This car does have a clear Massachusetts Title as a ‘32 Ford, and is state safety inspected, and registered as such.

Massachusetts law only requires fenders on vehicles 1949 and newer.

Comfortable for any size driver, with adjustable seat tracks, at 6’1” and 200+ lbs., I fit comfortably. The repro. bomber seats afford good lateral support, and with extra bolstering at the seat bottom front edge, no leg fatigue.

The 5.7L Hemi was the first high production volume enginge to feature fully-functioning cylinder deactivation. Using variable cam timing; it shuts off 4 cylinders when possible to get good gas mileage. How many Hot Rods do you know that average mid-20’s mpg at close to 400hp?!
