Hot Rod 1932 Ford Five Window Coupe - Speed & Chrome Illustrated Feature

Hot Rod ‘32... Not all hot rods have flat paint or flatty mills. Show me a gloss black Deuce five-window, louvered on both ends, buggy sprung axles, bigs’n’littles, a driver...and you have shown me a hot rod. According to Darryl Spurlock, he’s been cursed since he was about 11 years old. Seems his sister was seeing a hot rodder, and then that was compounded with a couple of close encounters with the likes of Garlits and Barris. His apparent curse would be that of Hot Rodding. Now that’s a cross that we all are happy to bear. Darryl still owns his first car, a ’29 RPU, and a couple of others. But the car in question today is this smooth little Deuce five-window that he’s had for the last five years. This is one he bought rough after it traveled half way across the country and back. Apparently, it wanted to belong to him. His first order of business after capturing this little gem was to make it right. Starting with a 3” chop and replacing the firewall, performed by Kenny Welch. The interior was in disarray and full of buckets, among other non-period pieces. Daryl made sure that the interior got right. In place of the buckets, a bench seat now resides and the dash is full of Mooneyes gauges. A sprint car wheel is used to guide it and a swan neck is used to change the gears. There are some non-period amenities, if you will allow, that being in the line of a Dan Soi installed stereo. It went back to Kenny again for an A/C unit. Face it. Not all rods are bare bones. Under the louvered hood rests a small block Chebby. The SBC has been pretty popular since its inception and this one is not one of those buy-it-in-a-box-and-slap-it-in models. This one sports a whopping 383 cubes, built by Smeding Performance. The coupe is buggy sprung on both ends, a 9” Ford (just like the ones in ’57) stuffed with a posi accommodates the rear spring, and a good ol’ dropped ‘n’ drilled axle is out front. All four binders are drums, the fronts are Buick pieces and the rears came from Ford. Something must have been done right with the springs, or maybe it’s the tire combination. Whatever the culprit is, this little coupe has the perfect stance. Perhaps it’s a combination of all of the above. Add mile-deep black paint job and a few pinstripes, accent the louvers on both ends in orange also, and all you have left to make it traditional is to drive it. Guess you can say that it’s a driver: Darryl has logged some 45,000 miles over the last few years. Include several trips to B-Ville, and one might say that this is not your average hot dog stand cruiser. Like it was said: not all hot rods have flat paint and flatty mills…. #hotrod #32Ford #HotRodFord
