This Ford Hot Rod got away, but there are more like it here.

This ’32 Ford Highboy roadster was built by Alloway’s Hot Rod Shop of Louisville, Tennessee, to be given away at the 2012 Shades of the Past car show in Pigeon Forge. The fiberglass body is finished in metallic blue and features engine covers, LED taillights, and a power-operated trunk lid, and the cabin is outfitted with a Lokar shifter, Classic Instruments gauges, a Billet Specialties steering wheel, and dark blue leather upholstery that was fitted by Pro Auto Custom Interiors. The 350ci V8 is equipped with a Holley carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a billet accessory drive setup, and power is routed through a three-speed automatic transmission and a Currie 9″ rear end. Sanderson headers flow to MagnaFlow mufflers, and the car rides on a Pete & Jake’s front suspension and a four-link rear setup with coilovers. This ’32 highboy by the selling dealer in North Carolina with a Tennessee title.
