Default Turbo AWD '32 Ford Coupe

1932 Ford Coupe - Swede-Built All-Wheel-Drive Road Race Street Rod - Hot Rod Magazine

Just thought you'd guys might like to take a look at this car. I think its one of the coolest cars I've read about this year. What I would give to drive that thing around some twisted mountain roads.....

Thats actually really cool. Im not keen on the inline six from the volvo but its still very impressive. It would have been neat to see a centrifugally supercharged flathead in there. Something like this.

The guy built it to be a competition road race car. He didnt go with a V8 due to weight and lack of room.

I think a worked over Ford 4.6 mod motor would be awesome. But I'd rather retain the AWD set up more and its not really possible with a v8

Yeah Im aware of that. I read the article. I just think it would be cool to have the flathead like the one I posted in a car like that. Im not saying what he did wasnt really cool in the first place just that it would be neat to see something similar done with the flathead. Kind of like really old school hot rod stuff with a lot of the newer technology.
