OVERVIEW

This 1932 Ford Model B has been driven fewer than 1,000 miles since being restored and customized in 2014. It is powered by a Ford 351ci Windsor V8 engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a Pete & Jakes Hot Rod Parts dropped front axle, a tilt steering column, front disc brakes, newer shocks, and a wood bed floor. Finished in blue over a black vinyl interior, this reportedly rust-free Model B is available now and comes from the selling dealer with a California Ownership Certificate.
