This ’32 Ford is an all-wheel-drive Highboy roadster that was initially built in the 1990s by Summit Racing and used as a promotional vehicle for the next two decades. 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. Work performed since the seller’s acquisition in 2015 has involved retrimming the interior in gray leather and adding a Sid Chavers removable soft top, Budnik 18” and 20” wheels, Baer six-piston brake calipers, a Lokar shifter, and Classic Instruments gauges. This custom Highboy is now offered with a website, trademark rights, a collection of magazines featuring the car, service documents under current ownership, a car cover, two custom-made keys, spare parts, and a California title in the seller’s name listing it as a 1932 Ford.

The car was originally built in 1995 for Summit Racing with a design by Mark Stielow, fabrication by Mike Casey, and assembly by Mickey Lauria and staff at Total Performance in Wallingford, Connecticut. It was then used as a promotional vehicle and featured in Car and Driver, Hot Rod, Street Rodder, and Street Machine. The Harwood body is constructed from fiberglass and carbon-fiber, and the cockpit was lengthened by 6” during the initial build. A one-off removable top was created by The Ultimate Dude at National Fiberglass, and the car was fitted with a DuVall windshield and a Dan Fink Metalworks grille. Car and Driver‘s period test recorded a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 11.8 seconds at 115 mph.

A Summit Racing article documented the refresh in 2000 performed by Rad Rides By Troy. Additions included a hand-built steel hood, aluminum side panels, headlights, windshield frame and A-pillars by Vic Belzek as well as a hand-built grille shell, roll pans, exhaust opening, taillights, and a recontoured removable roof by Bob Thrash. Bodywork was performed by Warren Lewis before the car was repainted PPG Smoke Charcoal Silver and Wild Cherry with flames and graphics by Bob Thrash.

A custom-built Sid Chavers soft top was installed under current ownership, and other details include chrome side mirrors, flush-mounted strip taillights, and LED headlights with integrated turn signals. Paint chips are noted around the car.

Following the current owner’s acquisition, Budnik Pivot SKO wheels with a titanium finish, polished 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 under current ownership. 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 of Campbell, California. 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, which is said to represent the distance added under current ownership. Total mileage on this Racing QuadraDeuce AWD ’32 Ford Roadster Highboy is unknown.

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, ported and polished aluminum Bowtie cylinder heads, Jesel Valvetrain springs, rocker arms, and pushrods, a Meziere water pump, a Bowtie aluminum intake manifold, a Ducky 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 under current ownership 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 under current ownership.

A website constructed by the seller outlines the history of the car, describes its features at each iteration, and shows photos taken at various stages during the initial build and subsequent modifications. Ownership of the site will be transferred to the next owner along with the QuadraDeuce trademark.
