This 1932 Ford Model 18 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is an all-steel, heavily customized build that combines authentic early-Ford architecture with the unmistakable performance character of a 1969 Corvette-sourced 427ci Big-Block Chevrolet V8. Showing approximately 6,977 miles, the car was conceived as a one-of-one creation rather than a conventional street rod, with virtually every major component selected or engineered around its distinctive combination of vintage Henry Ford steel and big-block Chevrolet power. Its all-steel 1932 Ford 5-window body has been given a dramatic 4-inch roof chop, producing the low, aggressive profile at the heart of the build, while the fenderless front end, exposed suspension, deep-dish Cragar S/S wheels, front skinnies, and substantial rear performance rubber reinforce its traditional hot-rod attitude. Beneath the body is a custom fully boxed aftermarket frame designed to cope with the torque of the 427, backed by a heavy-duty TH400 automatic and Ford 9-inch rear axle. According to the seller, the car has also received significant publicity and attracted attention from collectors, further separating it from the typical home-built street rod.
