Now for sale in our Houston Showroom is this beautifully restored
1947 Kurtis-Kraft Midget #18. This car represents a great example
of vintage post-war race car and would look great at any show.
Powering this piece of history is a Offenhauser 110 CID DOHC
4-cylinder motor. This engine features Hilborn fuel injection which
is said to be the first fuel injection system created and was
desired by many racers of the era. Paired up with the engine is a
2-speed manual "in and out" transmission with your choice of either
neutral or GO! The quick-change rear end made this car capable of
interchangeable gearing for different racing needs to improve the
odds of a win. To provide the stopping power of this beautiful
beast is 4-wheel disk-brakes that sit behind 12" aluminum wheels
with knock-offs. A complete tubed steel chassis and aluminum dash
aided in the car being light weight improving its overall
performance. The tires are Firestone 150-12 in the front and
M&H Racemaster 150-12 and are in good condition. For what
little interior the car has, it is in very good condition. The car
features a black leather racing seat, with the convenience of the
drive shaft running through your legs. The aluminum dash has
machine turned and shows very well. It's amazing to see what race
cars of that era were like and to compare them with todays
monstrous machines. This car would make for a great show piece in
anyone's home or museum, possibly even be taken to your local track
permitting it meets the requirements. For more information on this
