This 1932 Ford roadster is a Brookville-bodied hot rod built by Al Eshenbaugh as his personal car and completed in 2010. The reproduction steel body is mounted on American Stamping Corporation (ASC) frame rails and finished in green over tan vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a 425ci Buick Nailhead V8 equipped with triple Rochester carburetors, an Offenhauser intake manifold, finned-aluminum valve covers, custom headers, and a hood scoop gifted to Eshenbaugh by Red Greth of Speed Sport Roadster fame. Additional build details include a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, a Ford 9″ rear end, Buick finned drum brakes, a drilled front drop axle, hairpin radius arms, a Panhard bar, a tan removable soft top, 15″ and 16″ steel wheels, Mercury hubcaps, a Gennie shifter with a crystal doorknob shift knob, a Packard-sourced dashboard and gauges, and a 1940 Ford steering wheel. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2026, and this 1932 hot rod is now offered with an Arizona title listing the car as a 1932 Ford.

Eshenbaugh began drag racing in the late 1950s, campaigned Top Fuel dragsters in the 1960s, competed in motocross and desert racing, set land-speed records with a nitro-burning roadster and a lakester at Bonneville, and later built blown nitro Chrysler Hemi engines and served as crew chief for the Bass Kustoms Roadster.

The reproduction steel roadster bodywork is finished in green with a removable canvas soft top, front and rear chrome spreader bars, side nerf bars, and vintage Guide-style headlamps with domed glass lenses and modern bulbs. The soft top incorporates a steel-panel insert, and pinstriping on the trunk lid was applied by Slo, who is the seller reports was taught by Von Dutch.

The 15″ and 16″ steel wheels wear Mercury hubcaps and are mounted with Michelin radial tires measuring 165/80R15 up front and 245/75R16 at the rear. The front suspension incorporates a drilled drop axle and hairpins, while additional chassis equipment includes a Panhard bar with a steering stabilizer and ladder bars out back. Braking is provided by four-wheel drums with Buick finned drums and Lincoln-style brake components.

The cabin features bench seating trimmed in tan vinyl along with latch-and-link belts and a Gennie shifter. The shift knob is a crystal doorknob reportedly sourced from an old home in Phoenix, Arizona, that was being demolished.

An Optima RedTop battery is mounted in a wooden box in the trunk, which is fitted with billet hinges.

The ’40 Ford steering wheel sits ahead of a Packard-sourced dashboard and gauges. According to the seller, the column support was fabricated from a connecting rod from a turbocharged Renault V6 engine that ran in the Gulf Mirage cars at Le Mans and was reportedly gifted to Eshenbaugh by an old drag-racing friend. Additional features include push-button start. The five-digit odometer shows 96k miles, though total mileage is unknown, and the clock does not work.

The 425ci Buick Nailhead V8 is claimed to have been built by Eshenbaugh. The engine is equipped with triple Rochester carburetors, an Offenhauser intake manifold, finned-aluminum valve covers, and custom headers. An oil service was reportedly performed approximately 35 miles ago.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear end. The transmission is said to be from 1967, the same year as the engine, and a finned-aluminum transmission oil pan and tubular cross-bracing are fitted.

The car is titled as a 1932 Ford with an Unknown model notation using VIN AZ315623. The title lists the odometer reading as Exempt.
