This Brookville Roadster is a stylish and very impressive custom ‘Hi-Boy’ hot rod, which is a faithful tribute to the iconic 1932 Ford Roadster and is offered for sale by its second owner from new. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 350-cubic inch (5.7-litre) Chevrolet ‘Vortec’ V8, fed by triple Stromberg carburettors, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed ‘T700’ automatic transmission. This example was first registered in July 2016 when the build was completed, and has been with the seller and second owner for three years. The odometer shows a mere 1,678 miles since the completion of the build. This Roadster is a full custom build, which utilises an all-steel reproduction body from Brookville in the US, as well as reproduction chassis rails combined with genuine 1931 front and rear cross members, and a 1934 centre cross member. This example is finished in a timeless shade of black with a matching soft-top roof, over a brown leather-trimmed interior, featuring a woven carpet, and chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of staggered steel wheels finished in gloss-black and shod in Firestone cross-ply tyres. Equipment includes a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a Tru-Trac limited slip differential, a hinged windscreen, a two-spoke steering wheel, door card storage pockets, Stewart Warner gauges, an aluminium gear knob, a boot storage net, and an aluminium fuel tank. The car comes with a set of chrome Ford-embossed hubcaps, a service booklet, and a folder of maintenance and parts invoices. Please note: the vehicle will be sold un-registered (it is currently on non-transferable hot rod / club registration). Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: some small chips on the painted chassis and front suspension I beam. The car’s last REGO test was conducted on 24 October 2020, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This Roadster’s most recent maintenance was carried out in January 2023 at 1,439 miles by the seller, a qualified mechanic, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change, the brake fluid being replaced, a differential oil change, the carburettors tuned, and new rear shock absorbers fitted. Another engine oil and filter change was performed in November 2020, which also included the coolant being changed, the brake fluid replaced, a transmission oil and filter change, the differential oil changed, all new spark plugs fitted, and a full rebuild of all three Stromberg carburettors. Other notable maintenance from when the seller purchased the car includes the fitment of all-new fuel, radiator and transmission cooler hoses, new front hairpin bushes, a new stainless-steel throttle linkage, and a correct transmission kick-down cable bracket to rectify gearbox shifting. This Brookville Roadster is a stylish and very impressive custom ‘Hi-Boy’ hot rod, which is a faithful tribute to the iconic 1932 Ford Roadster and is offered for sale by its second owner from new. Presented with a timeless colour scheme, accurately recreated all-steel Brookville bodywork, period-correct chassis components, and a potent 350-cubic inch Chevrolet V8 engine, it would make an exciting and attention-grabbing companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, and visits to classic and custom car shows alike.
