For Sale: 1930 Hudson Indy Race Car in Kentwood, Michigan

Vehicle Description

Champ car racing began in America during the early 1900's. These cars raced on a number of surfaces including: dirt, board and brick. Indianapolis Motor Speedway is no doubt the most famous venue where these cars competed. The people who designed and built these cars were creating technology, not building on what has already been done. Cars of this era were all different as rules and regulations were liberal and the derivers who campaigned them stretched the limits of courage and skill. Champ Car Racing lives on in the modern day as May 2017 marked the 101st running of the Indianapolis 500.
The Hudson Powered racecar offered here was purchased as a complete car, less engine, prior to World War ll by private collector from Ohio. Verbal history states thet the car has an original alloy body that is fitted to a drilled and lightened Model A frame with an original 1932 front Axle. The car is said to always have run Hudson "Sixes" as power. The current power plant is derived from a 308 Hudson Hornet that is connected to an In-ouy gearbox. The car has the early quick-change rear end, early front crank tach-drive, an external sump oil pump that holds approximately 4 gallons of oil in the pan and sump, needle-bearing cam and early gauges. The wheels are alloy discs and they are mounted with center spindle knock offs.
The car has been updated with a more modern paint scheme which resembles that of the Kuzma driven to victory in the 1952 Indianapolis 500 by Troy Ruttman for car owner J.C. Agajanian.
Early race cars hold much automotive history and complete examples as the one offered here remain in high demand.
This Car Is To Be Sold On a Bill Of Sale Only.
