No Reserve. Featured on multiple magazine covers, this 1932 Ford was once proclaimed as one of the best 32 Fords in the country. Previously owned by Rich Wilson and restored by Gilbert Propes, this Ford is guaranteed to be the talk of any show. The original car was a 24,000 mile incredibly dry and straight 32 Ford B Model coupe. The car had been disassembled in 1965 and prepared for restoration. It sat for over 35 years, before being pulled out of a basement for this restoration. In true hotrodder fashion, this beast features parts from a host of manufactures. Wayne Dill at Dill Performance built the 270-inch Dodge Red Ram Hemi, packing the cylinders with Ross pistons. The Racer Brown cam is custom ground. Triplet Stromberg 97s feed the Hemi through an Offenhauser 3x2 manifold. A handmade exhaust system was built to fit the side mount headers. Gilbert Propes dug out a '37 Cadillac LaSalle transmission that his Uncle Charlie had used during the '50s, and matched it to the Red Ram with a combination of old Halibrand and Cragar adapters. The 49-50 Olds tailshaft creates a short open driveshaft set-up. The original body rides on original rails, modified by Jerry and Brian Williams of Cornelia, Georgia, with the front crossmember from an A, Deuce rear crossmember, and '33-34 X member replacing the stock K member. Front-end components include an old-time Mor-Drop I-beam axle, split wishbone, and steering set-up from a '51 Ford pickup, plus '40 spindles and brakes. A '40 Ford rearend (with 3.78:1 gears) was rebuilt by the Hot Rod Works and hangs on N.O.S. '40 Ford springs, with '40 brakes and '35-36 radius rods. Pete & Jake shocks are mounted front and rear. What would be a better choice for rolling stock than steelies with bias-ply Firestones? The front '48 Mercury rims are 15x5s with 560-15 'Stones. Rear Lincoln rims were widened to 16x6 and wrapped with 750-16 rubber. Rick reports that the original sheetmetal was in like-new condition when the body was pulled from a basement after several decades, and the only bodywork needed was to iron out factory flaws. Jerry and Brian Williams prepped the body for paint, and Ernest Allen shot the '47 Ford Barcelona Blue enamel. Rick kept the door handles, rumble seat handles and just enough chrome to set off the dark blue paint. The '32 headlights were mounted on modified Model A stands, and chrome work was handled by The Finishing Touch in Chicago. The red theme that started on the outside and under the hood is continued all over the interior. Danny Reese from Cleveland, Georgia, installed the tuck 'n' roll Naugahyde upholstery. Propes replaced the original window handles with '51 Chrysler hardware and the rearview mirror is a '39 Chevy item. The steering wheel is from a '40 Ford standard, and these '33 Plymouth gauges fit in the stock dash location as if they came from the factory. Guaranteed to be a show stopper anywhere you go, this is one you will not want to miss! VIN: 4862198A.
