History old ford race car

A little update....in 1941 the push car they used at the lakes was a year old 40 Ford, that car got rolled and smashed up pretty good, so they pulled the engine, trans, steering column, ect, and put it in the roadster in 41...

 

Thanks for the great history. The car has history going back to 1941. That's cool.

 

Hard not to be jealous.

 

I talked to this guy about his car about 8 months ago or so. He as selling a 3 window. He sad come and check out his roadster then I lost his number. Funny I stumbled across this.

 

...betcha ya could strip that primer off and find most of that metallic maroon underneath it.

 

If I owned that thing I would drive it everyday. It's perfect. Wish I had a blank check to hand the owner.

 

LOOKS LIKE HE GOT THE BIRD NEST OFF THE HOOD!!

I never get tired of El Mirage Dry Lake. Besides running like a bat out of hell, you see cars you never see any where else. The lake bed looks the same today as it does in the photos, dirty, cold/hot, and windy. Thankfully the environment keeps out the billet, gold chain wearing, street rod crowd in their Easter egg colored cars.

 

What a cool car...perfect in every way. Since it's been hinted at in this thread...is he trying to sell it?
