Tim Allen’s personal hot rod—a 1933 Ford Roadster swapped with a Chevy 350 V8—is a one-of-a-kind build born on the set of Home Improvement, then kept and perfected by Allen himself.
In an interview with GQ magazine, Tim Allen, a true car enthusiast and collector, revealed that the ’33 Ford Roadster featured on ABC’s sitcom Home Improvement was built to look as realistic as possible for each episode it appeared in.

One car that stands out among all others on “Home Improvement” is the custom 1933 Ford Roadster built by Tim Allen’s character himself. The sleek and timeless appeal of this vehicle captivated audiences and served as a symbol of both Tim’s creative vision and rebellious spirit.
One of the most memorable automotive-themed episodes centered around a race. Season three, episode 25 featured a drag race that put real-life fixer and TV host Bob Vila up against the fictional Tim Taylor. Vila’s ride of choice was a famous yellow Boyd Coddington design, the Aluma Coupe.

Fans of the hit Tim Allen sitcom Home Improvement are well aware that Allen's character, Tim Taylor, sold the blue '33 roadster he "built" during the 1994 season.
Allen was known as a car guy on his hit ’90s show Home Improvement and some of his personal vehicles were actually featured on the show. The 1933 Ford Roadster, which resides in the Home Improvement star’s collection, was restored from the frame up on the show.
