Saw this ad on Fordbarn
« on: May 10, 2008, 12:30:08 PM »
Disclamer: I saw this ad on the Fordbarn and thought some of you might have an interest in seeing it. I have no connection with the person selling this vehicle. I think he is a member of landracing.com.

Car For Sale: 1936 Ford 5 window ex-race car from the Russetta timing association ran from 1948 to 1953. Sponsored by Offenhauser Speed Equipment and raced by one of their employees.

Body has been blasted and sealed and is very stright. Lots of documentation included, timing tags, tech tags, membership cards, and trophies. $35,000

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Tom,  Thats one of my cars.  Building the wife a new house so some of the toys have to go. This is the only way I can devote the time to my LSR project. This is one of two LSR projects  I have for sale, the rest are road race cars.

Gosh, tell us more about it!  It's a great pic - slick lookin' Ford - where did it race, and for how long?  Did it hold any records?  Did it ever drag race?

Mike, the other car I have is a 1926 Stutz speedster.  Its the prototype built by Frank Lockhart and raced all over including on the slat flats.  The engine is shaft driven like a Hisso motor and is supercharged like a Bently, it is the only one of two that were built known to survive.. The engine pictured in the "The Splendid Stutz"  page 136.
