Newstalgia Motors Presents Car No. 00190:
1932 Ford "Tequila Sunrise" Roadster
Details:
- Exterior: The body and fenders on this beauty are hand laid composite
and fiberglass reinforced with porcelain ceramic. The paint is a custom mixed, one
of a kind high gloss lacquer with clear coat. All body panels were painted off the
frame with trim components installed afterward. A famous DuVall windshield and windshield
frame adds that classic finishing touch. The padded convertible (removable) hard
top is equipped with a third brake light. A Rootlieb steel hood covers the engine
compartment. Custom chrome strips adorn the molded running boards to provide step
plates and an L.E.D. tail light array is discretely molded in place on the lower
rear of the body.
- Interior: The interior is in pristine showroom condition featuring
seats, door panels, kick panels, and the trunk interior covered in two tone Tan
Ultra Leather and Mercedes wool carpeting. An "Ididit" tilt-telescopic
steering column is topped with a custom billet steering wheel. The "smoothy"
handmade dash houses six analog gauges including: Speedometer/Odometer, Tach, Temp,
Fuel, Battery and Oil in a custom billet insert. The owner even added his personal
touch of embroidered floor mats with the car's name "Tequila Sunrise".
Power steering and a remote trunk release round out the comfort quotient of this
luxurious cabin.
- Engine and Driveline: The GM 350 HO V-8 with a 650 cfm Holley carburetor
is backed by a GM 4L60E electronic overdrive transmission which is programmable
via laptop. The computer port/plug in is in the trunk. Power to the ground is courtesy
of a Currie Ent. Ford 9 inch differential equipped with a 3.50 Posi gear set. A
Mustang II-style IFS with Vega rack and pinion steering, GM front disc brakes and
coil over shocks are up front. Coil overs and drum brakes are in the rear.
- Wheels and Tires: American Racing Vintage Torq Thrust II Polished
Wheels are well-shod with P195/60R-15 tires up front and P255/60R-15 tires in the
rear.
Meticulous attention to the engineering and detail throughout makes this one-of-a-kind
hot rod a multiple Best of Show winner and crowd favorite at every showing. A completely
documented assembly manual, build sheet, trophies and bra are included with the
car.
