350-Powered 1932 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster Hot Rod 4-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1932 Ford Roadster remains one of the most iconic silhouettes in hot rod history. Revered for its clean lines, lightweight body, and endless customization potential, the “Hi-Boy” configuration—where the body is mounted atop the frame without fenders—has become a staple of traditional hot rod culture.

This particular 1932 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster is a standout example of the breed, blending classic hot rod aesthetics with quality craftsmanship and performance upgrades. Powered by a Chevrolet GM Goodwrench HO 350 small-block V8 mated to a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter and skull knob, it delivers a visceral driving experience. A Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 locker and Sommers Brothers axles ensures durability and traction, while a Lang cast aluminum “Quick Change” cover adds a period-correct performance touch.

Finished in Montoya Maroon with custom pinstriping, the fiberglass body (with steel hood) sits atop 15-inch steel wheels adorned with 1939 Ford dog dish hubcaps and beauty rings. The interior features custom leather upholstery, a 4-spoke steering wheel, and even a vintage 1970s cassette deck tucked under the dash.

Ownership History

This 1932 Ford Hi-Boy Hotrod is an estate vehicle on auction by the consignor. While the exact build date is unknown, it is believed the mileage is original to the build. It is described as one of the “tightest and smoothest-driving early-style hot rods” the seller has experienced. However, the seller highly recommends a thorough mechanical inspection of the powertrain and drivetrain before street use.
