Notes
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to present this sharp black 1932 Ford Roadster Pickup for sale. Its not very often that we see one of these little pickups, and its a rarity to get one thats this level of cool. Its built on an original 1932 Ford frame, and features an original grille. The body shell is a Briggs composite, outfitted with traditional style rubber flooring, and synthetic leather seating. The bed is a reproduction, and is made of steel. Under the hood is a Chevrolet 350 CID V8, which is topped with an Edelbrock AVS2 4BBL carb, and fitted with coated shorty headers, which funnel the exhaust into a nice sounding custom dual system. Backing the SBC is something that adds to the coolness factor: a 5-speed manual transmission (sourced from a 1990 Camaro), with first gear down and left. Ignition is handled by a GM HEI setup, and a PowerMaster high output PWM-9612 starter to get things lit off. Power gets to the ground via a 1940 Ford rear spring setup, and steering is handled by a Chevy Vega steering gearbox. The front suspension and axle are early Ford, and the 4-wheel drum brakes are large 1940 Ford style. This little go-buggy rides on steel wheels that are wrapped with radial tires. Inside, the bench seat is equipped with seatbelts, and the dash features an engine-turned gauge bezel with vintage style gauges (including modern VDO speedo and tach), along with switches for the turn signals, headlights, electric radiator fan, and the heater fan. Some of the more recent updates (in the last 3 years) include replaced suspension bushings, clutch slave cylinder, oil pan gasket, rear main seal. Plus, the Harts radiator was steam cleaned, repaired and tested and the electric fan was added. One of the most fun features, however, is the convertible top: fold that canvas top down, and enjoy vintage open air cruising in one of the most unique little pickups around while you haul the whatever (grin).

Bought a vehicle based on Gateways description and pictures 2 weeks ago. I live 1100 miles away, so I was trusting their word. What a big mistake!Vehicle was listed as a "fresh restoration in May 2016". The salesman(Brad at the Tampa branch)assured me this car was in great "show" condition. On arrival, the vehicle barely started, had no turn signal lights, instrument cluster lights, console lights, reverse lights,or functioning horn. Fuse box is completely rusted out. Their description said it had a Holley 850 CFM carburetor, but it a 670 CFM, and it's shot. Transmission, power steering , and radiator all leaking. They attempted to plug up the leaks with gasket sealant. Some linkage under the vehicle was held together with a wire and bent nail. Both exhaust brackets broken. AC and heat had been ripped out of the vehicle. Emergency braking system completely removed. Rear leaf spring broken. Windshield washer system also completely removed. And the engine has a knocking noise. My mechanic gave me an estimate of nearly $7000 dollares to bring this vehicle just up to specs. I forwarded the estimate to Gateway per their request. 2 days later, they called me back and said their is nothing they could do for me. That I signed a sales contract, so I'm just xxxx out of luck. They say it's not their fault the previous owner told Gateway inaccurate information regarding this car. By the way, the previous owner was the car "restorer". And i use this word extremely loosely. I purchased this vehicle for almost $30,000. I didn't purchase a project car. I'm so disgusted with this company and customer relations. And based on other complaints on this website about them, this seems to be a common practice for them. I really hope people who read this shop somewhere else, and pass the word on to friends and family. Gateway Classic Cars is a SHADY, CROOKED , company!!!
