This maroon 1932 Ford Model B roadster brings together classic hot rod styling, serious mechanical hardware, and a magazine history dating back three decades. Originally built in 1993 with a fiberglass roadster body on a pinched frame, it was featured in the December 1996 issue of Street Rodder and appeared on the January 2002 cover of Rod & Custom. Purchased as a nonrunning project by the previous owner in 2023, it was subsequently completed with a new aluminum-block 388ci V8, a Mooneyham supercharger, and a four-speed Muncie transmission.Engine & TransmissionAluminum-block 388ci V8 installed during the project’s completionMooneyham blower with dual four-barrel carburetorsDry-sump oiling systemMuncie four-speed manual transmissionExhaust system features a manually operated sliding diverter flange, allowing a switch between muffled rear exhaust and open “zoomie” headers—a distinctive conversation piece at car showsExposed polished engine components and sweeping chrome headers give it a strong competition-inspired appearance.ExteriorMaroon finish over a fiberglass roadster bodyRemovable fiberglass hardtopDuVall-style windshield adds to the roadster’s classic hot rod characterPinched frame complements the body’s proportionsFenderless styling, a body-colored removable hardtop, prominent hood scoop, and louvered rear deck lid.InteriorAuburn-style instrument panel with Stewart-Warner gaugesBillet steering columnSix-point roll barBeige leather upholstery contrasts with the maroon dashboard, carpeting, steering wheel, and roll barSuspension & ChassisHalibrand quick-change rear endFour-wheel disc brakesRack-and-pinion steeringPolished five-spoke wheels with substantially wider rear tires emphasize its hot rod stanceAdditional InformationOriginally built in 1993Featured in Street Rodder, December 1996Cover car for Rod & Custom, January 2002Previous owner acquired the car as a non-running project in 2023 and subsequently completed itTrue mileage unknown (TMU)The owner reports that the headliner fabric needs to be tightened.Known ImperfectionsNo specific imperfections have been provided by the seller.Why This Hot Rod MattersOriginally built in 1993, this ’32 Ford earned a feature in the December 1996 issue of Street Rodder and a coveted cover appearance on the January 2002 issue of Rod & Custom.

Today, it combines that established hot rod heritage with the owner-reported aluminum-block 388, Mooneyham supercharger, and four-speed Muncie transmission.
