    Newly acquired 27 T Roadster that drag raced back in the 50's. The car originally had an injected Ardun Flathead. Sometime in the late 50's to early 60's an inline six was swapped into the car. The car was then put away sometime in the 60's.

    Awesome find.

    A cool car with lots of great parts. Love to chrome V8-60 axle, the vintage Stewart-Warner gauges, the Firestone Indy fronts - all good stuff!

    That was a really well done car for it's time. Lots of chrome, louvers. qc rear. I would just fix things to make it safe and put it back on the track.

    This was a really great find.:)

    The car will be left the way it is now. A flathead and 39 trans will be going into it. The car raced in Ogden, Utah area. A friend of my father-in-law bought this car in Richland, Wa a few years ago. It had been sitting in the garage for the past 30 years. Here is a picture of the car in the early 50's.
