This Ford-style “Rodman” highboy roadster was built by Rod Palmer of Arizona Street Rods in the 1990s and features a Wescott fiberglass body and a custom-built chassis.
The car is finished in gray over tan, and power comes from a fuel-injected GM 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.
A General Motors ZZ4 350ci V8 features fuel injection, aluminum cylinder heads, ribbed valve covers, Flowtech tubular exhaust headers, a stainless-steel dual exhaust system, a Walker Z-series radiator with a SPAL 16″ electric fan, and a Tanks Inc fuel tank.
Power is transferred through a four-speed 700R4 automatic transmission and a Currie 9″ rear end.
Work in preparation for sale have involved relocating the ECU into the cabin, cleaning the throttle body, changing the oil, and also replacing the exhaust system, the transmission pan, spark plugs, and thermostat and housing.
A Chassis Engineering dropped I-beam axle and So-Cal Speed Shop shock mounts are shown fitted up front, and an Earl’s remote transmission cooler is mounted centrally beneath the car.
The fenderless Wescott fiberglass roadster body is finished in General Motors Medium Dark Lichen Metallic with red pinstriping and mounted to a custom-built chassis.
Other work carried out by Arizona Street Rods included extending the wheelbase by one inch and narrowing the front of the frame by two inches.
Additional features include a removable tan soft top, nickel-plated bright finishes, a Rootlieb louvered hood, a DuVall-style split windshield, Dietz headlights with So-Cal Speed Shop brackets, 1948 Chevrolet–sourced taillights, and chrome side mirrors.
Staggered-size black knock-off wire wheels feature pinstripes around the edges and are mounted with 5.50R16 and 7.00R18 Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial tires.
The wheels and the tires were replaced in preparation for sale.
Braking is handled by Super Bell Super Stopper front discs with Wilwood calipers and finned backing plates, rear drums, stainless-steel lines, and Earl’s hoses.
A Mullins Chevrolet Vega–sourced steering box and a TCI drag link and tie rods are fitted, and the suspension features Pete & Jake Hot Rod Parts components that include Viper front hairpins with short shocks and rear ladder bars with Viper adjustable coilovers.
Work in preparation for sale have included replacement of the dampers and the brake pads as well as flushing the brake fluid.
The cabin features a tan pleated bench seat with matching door panels and square-weave carpeting.
Equipment includes a Lokar shifter and parking-brake handle, a Kugel swing brake-pedal assembly and a TCI accelerator pedal, a Lokar throttle cable and kickdown, Kool Mat insulation, and an upholstered trunk compartment.
A matching tan tonneau cover accompanies the car.
A banjo-style steering wheel from Pete & Jake’s is mounted to a Mullins polished 1¾” steering column and fronts a color-matching steel dash that houses a So-Cal Speed Shop turned-aluminum instrument panel with Stewart-Warner gauges.
The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates 24k miles.
