 Sam Foose 1932 Ford Pro-Street 3-Window Coupe | Sam Foose 1932 Ford Pro-Street 3-Window Coupe 94,000.00 USD Offered For Sale at the: Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction January, 2008, Scottsdale, Arizona Barrett-Jackson Auction Company 7400 E Monte Cristo Ave Scottsdale, AZ 85260 Phone: 480-421-6694 Facsimile: 480-421-6697 Website: www.barrett-jackson.com Sam Foose 1932 Ford Pro-Street 3-Window Coupe 94,000 LotNumber 995 This 3 window coupe is truly the quintessential Hot Rod. The most sought after body style, coupled with a unique, ground-pounding drivetrain and built by the legendary Sam Foose. The body is a real, all-steel Ford with nary a trace of rust or body filler. There are 33 modifications. Some obvious, such as the 3 1/2" chopped top, rolled rear pan and sectioned/stretched rear fenders, but most rather subtle - the front turn signals, flush-fit doors and continuous fender bead, which is typical of a Foose-designed car. The engine is a 540" all-aluminum, fully-polished, Kinsler Injected, Yenko big-block built to run on pump gas, but still yielding an impressive 618hp and 698 ft. pounds of torque. Components include a Crower steel crank, Carillo rods, Schneider hydraulic roller-cam, MSD ignition and 2 1/4" stepped-headers by Jack Davis. The constant-flow Kinsler Fuel Injection is very street-able and can be controlled with the Dial-a-Jet from inside the car. A Doug Nash 5-speed backs up this one-of-a-kind motor, coupled to a Grand National quick-change rear end. Every component on the entire drivetrain, from the harmonic balancer to the quick-change cover, is polished and/or plated. The chassis is a TCI Pro-street with triangulated 4-bar rear suspension. 18.50 Mickey Thompsons are mounted on 15" x 12" Halibrands. The Bell front-axle, sitting on a Posie's spring, was narrowed to accommodate 8 1/2" Halibrands and the front end is stabilized by a custom-built, anti-sway torsion bar. Brakes are 4-wheel Wilwood disc. The Tilton bias-bar system allows you to balance the front and rear brakes which are independent from one another. A Griffin polished, aluminum radiator sits behind a Dan Fink billet aluminum grille. Polished stainless sandwiched between the body and the chassis creates a mirror effect that highlights the undercarriage. Chip Foose designed the interior, which was fabricated by Jerry Webster and combines sculptured wool panels with wool/leather Griffey bucket seats. A Boyd's steering wheel is mounted on the polished IDIDIT tilt steering column and the dash houses a full complement of Autometer gauges. Power windows and remote-controlled doors provide modern convenience, but the rear window is still controlled by the original, manual hand-crank. A chrome roll bar, Hurst linkage, Simpson harnesses and stereo are also featured. This is a true Hot Rod; not a mild-mannered Street Rod. It's not a fiberglass kit, or steel reproduction; this is a 75 year old Ford - A Lil Deuce coupe with a history. The engine in this car is one of a very limited production that Yenko cast for racing applications. Virtually every fastener is polished/plated and the car features the finest components in every aspect. Best of all, this car was designed and built by Sam Foose; one of, if not the, most talented and craftiest builders in the industry. by Douglas |

 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod For Sale | 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod For Sale 99,900.00 USD 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod For Sale Mickey Thompson nabbed the car for its 2006 SEMA show display, which is a huge honor. Then, in 2007, at a show where all that matters is how fresh and new a car is, MT set it out for SEMA '07, too! That's like getting struck by lightning while winning the lottery! Summit Racing Equipment displayed it at their 2007 Super Summit show then put the car on display indoors for a month. Barry Meguiar showed the car and its owner on Car Crazy Central on the Speed Channel, and it was the junior judges' favorite at the prestigious Glenmoor Gathering of Fine Automobiles. That's quite a resume for a three-year-old, even by horse racing standards!Let's start under where the hood should be. Like any good hot rod, it's all open for the world to fear. That's a .030 over 392 inch early Hemi sitting there, stuffed full with a balanced crank and rod set, Ross pistons, a mean Isky cam pushing Hot Heads' sprung stainless valves. An old school Hot Heads short tunnel ram holds a pair of Holley 390's topped by a polished, finned sugar scoop air cleaner that matches the valve covers and valley pan. MSD supplies the spark with a billet distributor and control box to Taylor wires while a 7 qt pan keeps things slippery. Did I mention the headers? If your mind wasn't blown with the engine, get underneath. The Lobeck frame with Pete & Jake's components is the same perfect Viper Red as the body or it's covered in chrome. The 9 inch rear is smoothed and painted red, too, and gets suspended by a chrome 5 link rear with aluminum coilovers. The front suspension features a classic flipped axle and transverse leaf spring setup, again done in chrome. Polished Wilwood 4 piston disc brakes at all four corners haul the car to a stop. Even the driveshaft is chromed! There's an undercar trans cooler for the ATI-built Turbo 400 transmission that's good to 800hp, so you know that ain't gonna blow! Price: $99,900.

1932 Ford
The 1932 Ford made automotive history once again on March 31, 1932 when Henry Ford announced the new Ford V-8. This certainly was not the first car to be powered by a V-8 engine, but it was the first time that such a motor was available in a low-price, mass-produced automobile.
The 221 cubic-inch-displacement V-8 was developed in the strictest secrecy by a small workforce operating under Henry Ford's personal supervision.
The engine was rushed into production - some say too rushed - and was eagerly purchased by car buyers. However, many of the engines experienced piston and bearing failures, overheating, and block cracking. These problems were soon solved and the flat-head V-8 would become the engine for Ford automobiles for the next 21 years.
There were, of course, numerous design changes in the new 32 Ford including:
- Front and rear fenders fully crowned
- Radiator shell was slightly veed and had vertical bars
- The Ford V-8 logo was positioned in the center of the curved headlight tie-bar
- The hubcaps also carried the new V-8 badge
- The dash had all the instruments and controls within an oval metal plate placed in the center of a mahogany colored (early) or walnut (late) grained panel
- An anti-theft device was incorporated into the key and ignition switch that was mounted on a bracket attached to the steering column
During the model year Ford incorporated several changes into the design of the new Model 18. The most obvious was increasing the number of vent louvers in the hood from 20 to 25 to improve the engine cooling.
Apparently sensitive that most of its competitors had longer wheelbases, Ford measured the distance from the center position of the front spring to the center of the rear spring and advertised a wheelbase of 112 inches when it was actually only 106 inches.
The new 32 Ford had single transverse leaf springs front and rear. By locating the rear springs behind the differential and using 18-inch wheels, the new Ford had a lower height giving it a racier appearance.
Almost 300,000 V-8 Fords were sold in its first year of production.
Ford’s various 1932 models were the last cars developed with Henry Ford’s full involvement. As described in Robert Lacey’s Ford: The Men and The Machine, the genesis of the Ford V8 engine is rooted in the launch of the six-cylinder Chevrolet of 1929. Not to be outdone, Ford commenced work on a new V8 engine. Working in secret at the Dearborn Engineering Laboratory, more than 30 prototype V8 engines were built, tested, and ultimately rejected. Even Henry Ford began to rethink his strategy, that is, until a fateful private meeting with son Edsel in December 1931.
Soon after, Henry Ford instructed his engineering chief, Charlie Sorensen, to spend “… until it hurts”, at the very height of the Great Depression. Sorensen did spend, investing heavily in the latest electrical iron furnaces and metal-casting technologies. In turn, the ability of Ford’s Rouge plant to produce high-quality iron alloys made the first low-priced, mass-produced, and commercially successful V8-powered automobile a reality. Once again, Ford reinvented the automobile and silenced the critics.
