This outstanding 32 Coupe is a well known and very well respected local car having won many prestigious awards, and has also been a previous NZ Hot Rod magazine feature car.
Four years in the making this magnificent Coupe was built to an exceptional standard by a well known local Hot Rodder, with his brother in Tauranga, who just happens to run Deuce Farms, which certainly helped, as testament to the remarkable calibre of workman ship, and overall quality of the build, this Coupe has now amassed a large quantity of awards for its design and presentation.
Starting with a Deuce Farm three inch roof chopped body, which has been fully steeled out, and includes a fully integrated roll bar, burst proof locks etc, which has then been fitted to a custom built chassis incorporating U S Stamping rails, with a fully boxed and custom built tubular cross member system, again all manufactured by Deuce Farm.
Residing between the rails is a High Performance 350 ci Chevrolet Crate Motor, running a highly polished and detailed TPI injection system, Tru track serpentine front drive kit, custom N.O.S system, and a full hand made by the owner tuned length header and exhaust system, which is also a complete work of art, and coupled to that is a 700R4 auto with an adjustable O/D lock up converter, controlled with a Locar shifter.
The front suspension consists of a Reid independent front end, with QA1 adjustable coil over's and sway bar while the rear end is a triangulated 4 bar set up with QA1 shocks and sway bar as well, making the package drive and perform exceptionally well with perfect road manners.
The braking duties are all taken care of with a quality Willwood braking system combining discs front and rear.
The magnificent paintwork is sensational finished in Ruby Red with contrasting black ghost flames, and still presents exceptionally well for a car that has been driven, but clearly pampered.
Complementing the exterior in the same no expense spared theme is distressed Italian leather wrapped around custom bucket seating, and this also extends to the hand stitched steering wheel that tops the tilting flaming river steering column.
The list really just goes on and on! and it would be fair to say the asking price would reflect a small portion of the original build cost, and would be a fraction of what would be required today.....
Quite simply one of the very best Hot Rod 32s available today, and its turnkey ready to go now!
