My late father designed and built a center-hinged dragster style V4FL lakester in his garage. It splits in two and can be loaded into a box truck for transport. It has a '28 model B engine in it. He ran it at the 2018 and 2019 USFRA World of Speed meet in Bonneville. I am selling everything.

I have more photos if you are interested including a few he took while building the car.
Asking $30,000 obo
I will also be posting many of the tools he used to build the car such as an engine stand, welder, compressor, blast cabinet, etc. The U-Haul truck he used to haul it in is also for sale.
He also has another completed street Cragar engine I will post separately.
The listing price is what my father estimated the car was worth. It must sell and sell quickly. I am willing to entertain any and all serious offers. All items are located in Kanab, Utah. I will be there from May 19 through June 3.
Thanks for looking,
Martin
