This ’32 Ford is an all-wheel-drive Highboy roadster that was initially built in the 1990s by Summit Racing. Dubbed the QuadraDeuce, the car is powered by a fuel-injected 406ci Chevrolet V8 mated to a Rossler TH700R4 four-speed automatic transmission, a transfer case and front differential sourced from a GMC Syclone, and a limited slip rear differential from a C4 Corvette ZR-1. The Harwood fiberglass and carbon-fiber body is mounted to a custom-fabricated boxed steel frame, and it has pushrod front suspension, a multilink rear setup, QA1 adjustable coilovers, a COMP Cams roller camshaft, and four-into-one headers flowing into a central exhaust outlet.
The 406ci Chevrolet V8 was built by Lingenfelter Performance and features an aluminum block, a Summit Pro-Line crankshaft, rods, and forged pistons, a COMP Cams roller camshaft, Chevrolet Bowtie 18-degree ported and polished cylinder heads, Jesel Valvetrain springs, rocker arms, and pushrods, a Meziere water pump, a Bowtie aluminum intake manifold, a direct-port fuel-injection system, and a decorative cover painted to mimic the bodywork. A Holley ECU and aluminum valve covers painted to match the wheels were installed along with a replacement radiator, which is cooled by an electric puller fan. Output when built was claimed to be 594 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a Rossler TH700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a transfer case sourced from a GMC Syclone, which also provided the limited-slip front differential with 3.43:1 gearing. The rear wheels are driven by a C4 Corvette ZR-1 limited-slip differential with 3.73:1 gearing. Heat shielding was added to the underside of the cabin.
A custom-built Sid Chavers soft top was installed, and other details include polished-aluminum side mirrors, flush-mounted strip taillights, and LED headlights with integrated turn signals. Paint chips are noted around the car.
Budnik Pivot SKO wheels with a titanium finish, brushed lips, and three-eared faux spinners were installed. The 18×8” front and 20×10” rear units are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires measuring 245/45 and 285/40, respectively. Baer 6P brake calipers provide stopping power at all four corners along with two-piece 14” drilled and slotted rotors. The master cylinder is concealed under the dashboard, and a remote fluid reservoir in the engine compartment was added. The car is further equipped with a Flaming River rack-and-pinion steering rack.
Designed by Summit Racing in cooperation with Mike Casey’s Metal Fab, the chassis was fabricated using Harwood frame rails and rides on a 110” wheelbase. The pushrod front suspension features airfoil-style lower control arms and billet aluminum spindles, while the multilink rear setup utilizes heim joints and polished arms throughout. The front QA1 adjustable coilovers with Eibach springs are mounted inboard.
Coated four-into-one headers flow into 2” exhaust pipes, dual Flowmaster 50 Series mufflers, and a central outlet that passes through the rear roll pan.
Following the owner’s acquisition the cabin was retrimmed at Campbell Auto Restoration. Distressed gray leather covers the divided bench seat, Budnik steering wheel rim, dashboard fascia, and door panels. QuadraDeuce emblems were added to the doors, a Lokar shifter has been installed, and bound carpets line the floors.
A Classic Instruments 200-mph speedometer is mounted to the steering column and joined by a central array consisting of an 8k-rpm tachometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and alternator output.
The six-digit odometer shows 6k miles, total mileage is unknown.
