Customs Lee Pratt? Car auctioned off in Clarinda Iowa

A local insurance agent in Clarinda had quite a collection of cars, from Model T's up through the 70's and 80's (?) including a Boss 429 Mustang that went for over $200K but the one that was interesting was this old shoebox Ford, that may have been a Lee Pratt car, interesting story, what interested me was the four two barrel carbs on the engine. Here is the link to the sale and other info.

I remember the car from old mags. The buyer got a bargain.

 

Sold $4750 That's a deal

 

That is a steal for a car with that provenance.

 

Actually, $5700.00 cost for the new owner. Still not too bad of a deal.

 

I would agree, that money for a car with that provenance, well bought.

 

Doesnt say alot for that auction house now does it.

 

interesting

 

i bought the 50 does anyone no how to contact lee pratt

 

He's in Austin, Texas. Maybe some other HAMBers will have his number.

 

Ryan knows him. He is the guy that writes the Jalopy Journal. Do an @ sign and his name ... and the chimes of heaven will answer you. Maybe like this : Ahem' .... @Ryan .... phone call for Lee Pratt

 

Holy crap...congrats...$5700 just bought alotta car right there. JohnnyA

 

@lee Pratt

 

77Auto Thanks I feel like the 50 was given to me after 55 years of coming up short on every rod I built and sold

 

Give a call Lee Pratt (256 504 1896) Larry Nunn 77 Auto Alabama , if you will

 

I seem to remember a story I think Pat Ganahl wrote in the rodders journal about a car he was building in Iowa at the time of a divorce. He either sold it unfinished or the wife got It . Can not remember for sure . But I have followed a lot of Lee's cars and I don't recall this one. I thought Lee lived in California . I read He is good friends with Jimmie Vaughan and he lives in Texas. Larry
