Foose's P32 - In Flight! Video with V-12 Sound

In case you are unaware, I'm in SoCal this week for the LA Roadster show...driving all over visiting the local shops. Yesterday we stopped by Foose's late in the day....and he fired up the P32 and moved it the other side of the shop....this thing sounds awesome.

the nose not withstanding...that is one cool hotrod.

 

ditto!

 

Definitely needs a nose job but the rest is nice and has a nice sound

 

Hmm, loose the nose and give it a better windscreen and that would be kinda nice.

 

So many Chip creations...... The nose on this roadster is actually one of my favorite Foose elements.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna put an airplane nose on the front of my '32"....
(awww man, don't do it.....)
Dang, if I don't like it pretty well!

Great stance and proportions. Sounds really good too.

 

Since we're on the subject.... does anyone have pictures of the seats in this car?

 

I like it. The nose makes it pretty unique. Mix it with the windsheild and has a really airplane look.

 

some ppl may say they dont like it,
but he built the car for himself not as a show car so i doubt he cares

 

Like the nose or don't, it isn't hard to imagine a prop spinning on that nose cone as that V12 idles.

 

I sure wish he would paint it like a proper P-40!

 

That's the 1st time I heard it lit! Sounded great, even peeled a lil rubber!

 

Cool cockpit. Correct interior green.
I've riddin in a P-40. Pretty darn cool.

 

Awesome! Thanks man! That's EXACTLY what I was after!!!

Now... anyone want to tell me why the seat back top of on the passenger side is different from the driver's side??

 

Earlier this month there was a thread about "Lexan having a bad rap".

Sure looks to me like that windscreen might be Lexan.

Ive never heard a V12 before. Sounds great!!!!

 

I'd hate to be in a head on with this thing

 

P-40 and a roadster combined, add a v-12........I'm there!

 

I agree 100%.

 

I imagine that was correct for the type of plane he was inspired by. That's just a guess, however.

 

My guess is: one from the fwd cockpit, and one from the aft, on a trainer or two seater........If there was such an animal..................

 

def. sounds awsome.

 

I like it all.... WOW!!! Sounds Great also...

Yeah, I guess that would make sense. Was thinking maybe those were reproduction seats and cushions, but I guess it's totally plausible those are the real deal and if they were, your guess would make complete sense, for sure!

 

That is one hell of a car. I would take it and drive it the way it is. Pretty interesting shifter design there also. As it comes from the back of the dash and is bent around it.

 

nice to be able to read about the car and it not get bashed, personly i love the car. the nose doesnt do anything for me but makes the package complete. ive read that he cant run it for more that 10 mins due to the nose deflecting all the air away from the radiator. for those who are intrested here are some build pics.

That's a neat car-Sounds awesome.......

 

Is it a Jag V12? Benz? BMW? Lincoln? Cadillac?

 

Lincoln Flathead V12.

 

yup saw it two years ago at the LARS this car is top notch and i love it
