Ford Model T 439 CID V8 1923
General description :
The Gateway Classic Cars Showroom of Saint Louis is proud to offer one crazy machine: a 1923 Ford Model T Altered race car. It is race ready. All you need to do is roll is off of your trailer, start it, and go! This is a track only drag car being sold with no title, on Bill of Sale only. This bad machine is built on a custom Chrome Molly chassis with a 125" wheelbase. This chassis has a 2015 NHRA certification. It sports a cast iron Chevy engine with 439 Cubic Inches. With Hilborn Stack injection and open headers it makes roughly 885 horsepower. HOLD ON TIGHT! The engine runs on alcohol which makes it a beast at the track. Backing the big block is a Power-Glide transmission with a 4,800 converter, trans brake, and trans cooler. Behind that is a Dana rear end with 4.56 gears. There's no question this was made to rocket down a drag strip. It has the safety items you'd expect, belts, a chute, and a cage, but other than that there isn't much to this machine. Just a big engine, a solid frame, and a driver with some real courage.

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.
