1930 Ford Highboy Coupe

There’s always lots of detail work with any build and this ’30 Ford highboy coupe is no exception. Look closely and you will find Craftworks Fabrication handmade steel motor mounts. The license plate and valve covers were painted by Jeremy Seanor of Luckystrike Designs. He also painted all the accompanying engine and tranny parts. The powdercoat was handled by Pittsburgh Powder Coat while the chrome plating was conducted by Jon Wright’s Custom Chrome Plating.

The chassis is comprised of a Roadster Shop custom frame that was stepped, stretched, and features contoured ’32 Ford-style framerails. It was also then boxed, capped, and has hole punch flared front framehorns. From here the frame is outfitted with a Super Bell 4-inch drop, drilled and plated I-beam axle, low-profile monoleaf spring with Ridetech tubular shocks paired to custom-made drilled billet radius rods from Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop. Steering falls to the Flaming River box and a LimeWorks Hot Rod column topped with a four-spoke Billet Specialties Sprint Car–style leather-wrapped wheel. In back there’s a Currie 9-inch rearend outfitted with 3.70 gears, 31-spline axles, QA1 coilovers, a Pete & Jakes Panhard bar, and a parallel four-link setup. Braking is a combination of disc/drum front to rear. The forward braking dark gray–painted Wilwood Dynalite calipers are neatly hidden behind the Pete & Jakes finned backing plates. While in back the 9-inch is outfitted with 11-inch brakes, this time hidden beneath the SO-CAL Speed Shop finned drums all the while the chassis rides on a full set of 16-inch Dayton wire wheels wrapped with Coker/Excelsior rubber measuring 5.50R16 in front and 7.00R18 in the back.

All hot rods have something fun settled between the ’rails and beneath the hood (well if they have a hood). In the case of our ’30 Ford highboy coupe it sure appears to be a vintage Ford Y-block but after more than a cursory look we begin to see the telltale signs that there’s something more. Indeed, while it may look like a Ford it truly is a 376-inch LSX iron block, with aluminum heads and ARP studs, plus adapter-equipped small-block Ford (Windsor) valve covers all from Don Hardy Race Cars and then assembled by Talik and Marc Mullin. The intake is an Edelbrock LS dual quad with a pair of Thunder AVS EnduraShine carbs dressed in OTB air cleaners. Delivering the gas from the Tanks stainless reservoir is an Earl’s Performance billet fuel pump. More engine accessories include an MSD 6AL box to go along with the MSD billet Ford small-block distributor that functions through a timing cover adapter from Chevrolet Performance all the while using an MSD coil and Lokar vintage plug wires. Powermaster also supplied the alternator and starter, the battery is an XS Power AGM, and a Wegner Motorsports water pump is used as well as a Wegner front accessory drive unit. This 500-plus hp V-8 utilizes custom headers made at Craftworks Fabrication based on Ultimate Headers LS header flanges. The pseudo-Ford small-block is backed up to a TCI StreetFighter 700-R4 with a 2,800-stall speed converter operated by a Lokar shifter. The trans cooler comes by way of Derale Performance and moves the power through a 3-inch-diameter custom-made driveshaft.

Music History Today: July 1, 2023

July 1, 2013, 1983: ZZ Top released their video for "Gimme All Your Lovin'," marking the first appearance of Billy Gibbons' 1933 Ford Hot Rod the Eliminator. Many rock stars are automobile collectors. But Gibbons has the music industry no rival acquiring cars, including the 1948 Cadillac 'CadZZilla' Series 62, 1932 Highboy Ford, and the 1933 Eliminator Coupe.

The car is so legendary that almost every millennial, and a sizeable chunk of Gen-Z Americans, know about it. Both generational cohorts have one of two things in common; either love of rock music, hot-rodding, or both. After all, this whole story is centered on the famous guitarist and frontman of the ZZ Top rock band with a shameless love for cars.

[mygatewayclassiccars]

Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to present this beautifully built 1932 Ford Roadster Highboy. This sweet little tub has a lot to offer! Professionally built by Zig's Street Rods in Newberg Oregon. This car is very straight with steel reinforced Westcott body with a custom color matched frame by TCI. The paint is in great shape and the flames give a killer look!

This Highboy is powered by a strong 350 engine with mild cam and noisy gear drive turbo 350 auto transmission. The Brassworks radiator with electric fan keeps the car running cool even on those hot summer days. Other nice touches to the car include HPC coated headers and Stainless steel Magnaflow mufflers give the car a great sound. Power is driven through the Ford 9inch rear end with a polished quick-change cover.
