Features SAW THIS OLD DRAGSTER IN NEW N.H. THINKING OF BUYING IT

while i do not know the man personally, i do know he is quite well respected in the east for his flathead skills. the car looks to me like it was done on a budget with what was on hand in the shop, then lots of fun after that. i can appreciate that

 

It’s easy to shit on the pictures..... it ran at Winterport I think within five years or so ..... most of the people on this forum would like to know half of what that man has forgotten...... and you should hear him pick a Martin guitar.... Mark

 

The electric fan and plastic blades is kind of a turn off, and the body and uhhhhh

 

Getting rid of the yeller might help alot..

 

I'm not sure. It was there when I dropped off and picked up my engine he built. He mentioned it to us but sorry I have forgotten what was said. He has a '40 Ford flathead 4 deuce carb coupe and a Model A coupe with a B motor. He is a very interesting fellow!

 

Well, me, and im sure everyone else who chimed in, wants to know..... Whats the asking price on it?

 

I CAN GET IT FOR 8500.00

 

Sounds like a decent price for a stout flathead and drive line
Front end
Possibly the chassis

what would your plans be for it ?

 

Kind of reminds me of something you might see at a county fair tractor pull if it had different rear tires!

 

my first thought was to make a clone of this: proportions are right

 

Always thought Marilyn (Beverley Owens) was hot! I guess she just looked so good next to the rest of the family. RIP Beverley

 

Hmmm. Well, id consider what exactly your plan was with it. Driveline should be worth something if thats da route you were taking. Then try to recoupe some of your investment. Maybe the authenticity should be checked more thoroughly if thats your intentions also. Did you drive it? Or at least hear it run?

 

How about this one?!https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/669685333740027/?ref=search&referral_code=undefined

 

they do look alike

 

It must be really fast, because it ran off and left pretty way behind.....

 

Now, that is one I would like to have. Ron

 

Walt used to be a regular on Ford Barn, maybe with age creeping up on him he just got tired of the whole scene and is getting out. I think he may be in his early 80's. As far as when he built the car it was at least 6-8 years ago that he put a different trans in and changed the steering and a few other things. I'll take a guess that he built the car ten years ago. Also, the comments that he is a respected F/H builder on the east coast are right on the money.

 

I`m like the rest. The body looks like a jeep. Change the seat and steering wheel and a couple other things. . But the frame , suspension and motor look correct for the time period.

 

Come on man, you have to ask?
The classifieds will deliver your answer in due course.
This thread is just priming the market.

 

THANK YOU

 

I think you are correct! Hey she was hot also.

 

Doesn't look too far removed from the HA'GR in my avatar. Some scoffed at it but after 7 years of having a blast in it I couldn't give a fat rat's arse about what people think. Just respect it for how the owner built it, low budget and fun in mind.
As I used to say to the cynics, "Where's your car? I don't see it in the staging lanes".

 

Potential. That chain steering looks scary, the body looks like a dumpster. Maybe put a glass T body on it with normal steering and have fun with it....

 

In 1964 popular driver Butch Farrell brought this creation to the oval track races at Ascot Park Gardena, CA. Upon close examination by officials the word was passed to Butch "Don't ever bring that thing to this track again".

 

Identity crisis. Doesn't know if it's old or modern. Lot's of great parts!.

 

It does have alot of new parts that takes away any vintage vibe i potentially could have, but it sure could be made to look like an old race car for sure. But it is hard to see at a first glance. Just so it hapens ”the american hot rod foundation” posted this today. And it is really close to the posted cars.

Looks more like mobile engine test stand.

 

Very early hot rods were built like this car. And they weren't very pretty. This yellow car is of course a much later build than the late 20's and early 30's hot rods it represents. I expect the guy driving ''the bug' is just as proud of his car are we of ours. They're hot rod history. How fast has the yellow car been anyway?

 

From what I’ve seen and read in your other posts, it is EXACTLY what you would buy.
