Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is pleased to offer this Custom One Off 1930 Ford. Nicknamed "Alumi-Rod," this stunning all-aluminum roadster is a high-performance modern-day hot rod work of art. Beginning with a 1930 Ford Model A pickup, it was handcrafted from 4x8 sheets of aluminum. The body, shell, cowl, firewall, box, and box cover are all hand-formed and designed. The interior is a hand-built work of art. A special die was made to stamp a stitching pattern into the metal. There are several hundred neatly placed aluminum rivet-style carriage bolts throughout the car. The doors are "suicide" design with bear-claw latches. Seats are custom-made and are very comfortable in design. The dash is also hand-formed with a center-mounted gauge set. The shifter is machined from aluminum, along with the steering wheel. The windshield frame is a one-off custom by the builder, while the well-engineered and structurally sound chassis is made from 1.25-inch wall-registered tubing and TIG-welded. The roadster has a powder-coated frame with a 10-bolt Chevrolet rear end with positraction and 4.56 gears, as well as quarter-inch elliptical rear springs with custom ride-height adjustment. Also features a 1940 Ford front axle with cross springs and shocks, Wilwood front disc brakes, stabilizer shock dampener assisted steering with Vega steering box, and handcrafted aluminum radiator and hoses. It is powered by an LT1 V8 engine converted to carburetion with a GN aftermarket intake and MSD curve distributor electric system backed by a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission. The wheels are one-off American Racing from their custom wheel department, while the fuel system is a Speedway tank with a Carter electric fuel pump. Additional specifications include Speedway adjustable brake balancing adjuster, push-pull parking brake, master cylinder and clutch reservoirs, Corvette water pump, RPC oil pan, two-core aluminum radiator with high-volume electric fan, Friction front shocks torqued to 20 pounds, Monroe rear shocks, machined-down glass pack mufflers to fit headers and motorcycle headlights. The turn signal is built into front stanchions, and the instrument panel consists of an on/off key, a red light that completes the alternator circuit, a horn button, and a headlight switch that is first pulled low beam and second high beam. The fuse panel is built into the left side of the dash behind an aluminum cover and the battery is located under the dash.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
