Sold 1932 Ford Custom Roadster 2146375309 Tweet

We will be the first to admit it the car offered here will turn heads in any setting. With an estimated 12,000 hours and $1.2 million invested in its construction, mediocrity was never considered part of the plan. Known as Fusion and believed to be the first unibody-constructed 1932 roadster ever built, honors have included being a Great 8 finalist at Detroit Autorama (2007), AMBR Outstanding Class Award at Grand National Roadster Show (2009), a Peoples Choice Award at SEMA SoCal and a Best in Show at Cruisin La Verne, both also in 2009. Some highlights of this one-off roadster include hand-formed bodywork, the custom sloping rear profile and hand-fabricated stainless body moldings. Fusion was designed and executed by noted builder Greg Blackford of Lake Bluff, Illinois. Within its detailed, smoothed and customized engine compartment is now a Chevrolet LS1 V-8 engine with Billet Specialties components and polished aluminum pulleys, all hidden beneath a custom one-off engine and air intake. Backed by an automatic transmission, the one-off rear end features inboard disc brakes and the entire rear suspension was built so the fasteners are hidden. Indeed, the cars undercarriage is fully detailed with polished alloy and Copper paint. The exterior wears Copper paint as well, and the massaged body exudes clean, flowing lines with rear-mount suicide doors featuring shaved handles and key fob entry. A single chrome spear runs from the front fenders and then is upswept to the rear cab area. Inside is executed in two-tone custom leathers with Copper paint accents, with a custom stitch seat pattern matching the metal work and multi-textured custom door panels. There is a hand-formed steel dash with Classic Instruments gauges as well, while outside features include the modern LED lights, a one-off taillight bar with custom taillights, and custom one-off Boyd Coddington wheels. Fusion is indeed an appropriate name for this car, which is a mind-blowing blend of incredible details and classic rodding cues. *Please note that no awards will be included with the sale of the vehicle.
