Technical The Hawaiian Survivor 32 Roadster

well im not big on the whole 32 ford hype, however i am heavily into survivor hot rods and i spotted this little gem in Huntington today buying some parts from the vintage ford warehouse. whats not to like, the owner said it sat untouched in a garage for 35 years and he recently purchased it. he said hes not going to restore it and is just going to enjoy driving it the way that it sits those words made my day. i dont know much about the history of the car because i kept the conversation brief but it was in an issue of hot rod in 1959 i think he said, they were comparing two cars that were built 2500 miles apart. great little car with an amazing stance and a lucky owner. im sure some of you guys know the history of the car very well.

just thought you guys would enjoy seeing it, sorry for the poor quality photos, they were taken with my phone. i should have taken more.

 

cool.......i love it when people post pics of "survivors"...
that car is great,,,,wish i could see it in person,,i could probably spend the entire day checking it out,,,
thanks for the pics

p.s.,,,,,,,tell him to remove that gas ass steering wheel wrap though!! haha

I dig the stance on that car.

Doc.

 

You are right TS that is all that matters.

 

I love that car ! I would cut one up to make it sit like that !
in a heart beat .
thats hotrodding !

 

I saw that car at LA roadster show this year and it had a crowd around it all day so I could never get any pics of it. that car is bad ass and should be kept just the way it is.

 

cool ride.

 

Like the fact that the fenders are still on.

 

Think this guy was at the model T swapmeet too. What is Sammie up to?

 

ehoa nga tamatoa,you'll never fit no matter how hard you squeeze the puku..

That was a nice one fer sure.
Love the paint.
I agree on the ww suggestion.

Survivors are allways fun.

Thanks for posting the photos! I'll have to drag out that Issue of Hot Rod and get the details on the original build. The car has a great East Coast look.

 

Dam ! That is one cool ride.

I dig it
I would also cut one up in a heart beat to do this look

hotrodding at the core
