Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Indianapolis is proud to feature this 1929 Ford Model A Hot Rod! A monstrous build of a Model A with so much time and money that's been put into it, you'd consider it a steal at this price. To think of the amount of work one would put in to get something to look this cool, we couldn't begin to fathom. But we'll take you through a little bit of what brough it to this unique level and how it's set up. But that is just a drop of water in this Model A's bucket!
First, we'll hit you with the meat and potatoes that everyone asks first! This bad-to-the-bone Model A is equipped with a 409 Chevy motor packing 472 HP that was professionally built by 409 Chevy Performance, the man, Jack Gibbs, himself. Fitted with Edelbrock aluminum heads, dual quad, manifold, Ross pistons, and a machined block. All that mated to a Powerglide Automatic Transmission that has been professionally rebuilt!
Now for some of the build! It took 9 grueling months of professional labor to complete this car. Hundreds of hours of sanding, grinding, buffing, and polishing the 85-year-old body and spraying it and the frame with a clear coat to protect and showcase this amazing stainless-steel body that makes this thing look like pure machine! Having done a 4" chop (Professionally done and seamless!) to bare metal car, giving it a street rod look that gives off the appearance Rat Fink should be behind the wheel. Fabricated Custom stainless-steel headers, custom fabricated aluminum scoop, and guage panel. Customized Louvered rear panel below window and a radius wheel well in the rear. Body was channeled 4" over the frame and built over the rear axel. Custom built watertight frame. The water system circulates through the block and frame in a counterclockwise fashion with additional water pump. Radiator is in the back of the car and has electric fans. Fabricated new roof panels, trans tunnel, floors, shifter, pedals, and firewall. An all-new steering wheel and column. Shortened Ford 9" rear end with new axels and gears.
The wheels are by Wheel Vintiques (steel in rear and wires in the front), sitting in Coker tires in the front and Radir tires on the rear. New front disc brakes with drums in the rear. New gauges such as oil, volt and rpm. Roll bar with 5-point harness. New glass, hoses and braided lines.

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
