Vehicle description
This 1932 Ford Coupe hot rod is constructed using an original 1932 steel body and firewall mounted on a genuine 1932 Ford frame and crossmember and is built as a faithful representation of the Doane Spencer hot rod displayed at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Power is provided by a bored Mercury Flathead V8 engine fitted with a SCAT crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons, along with Offenhauser cylinder heads, period-style intake, carburetors, fuel pump, gas pedal assembly, and air cleaner. The drivetrain is complemented by a Halibrand quick-change rear end. The chassis features a pinched frame with the rear stepped up 7 inches, spring sets mounted behind the axle, and Lincoln front brakes. Electrical upgrades include a 12-volt conversion, and instrumentation is handled by batwing-style gauges. The vehicle is accompanied by a comprehensive build book documenting all components and construction details, with total documented parts costs exceeding $140,000. The car has been recently serviced and fully detailed.
