I'm not so sure about that. Steel is highly prized, but there were never any aluminum cars and I don't think there is that much of a market for one. If they sold more than a couple a year, I'd be surprised. Check out Brookville and what they cost as well as how many have sold. The same with the now defunct Dearborn Deuce project. They sold for about 20K for just the body( of course that included windshield, power windows and full top), they have been dead for at least 3 years and there are rod shops that have dozens of them awaiting buyers and there were only a couple hundred( maybe) made.
While I agree that an aluminum deuce would be coool, I doubt that most rodders care.
