According to lore, and old markings on the car, this classic stock
car ran races at the Brewerton Speedway in New York state. At some
point, the Ford found its way south to Atlanta and then on to
Virginia where it continued to participate in Vintage Races at
tracks like South Boston well into the '90s. This '38 Ford is a
vintage stock car from another era. When the coupe was converted
into a race car, the body was moved back 5" on the frame for better
weight balance. The exterior's current respray is white enamel with
period correct vinyl logos and numbers. Inside this interior is
classic racer. A WWII bomber donated the tub seat/seat belt and the
driver compartment is protected by a steel roll cage (no Hans
device needed). The dash holds period correct Stewart Warner gauges
and the driver's door is welded shut. A Ford Flathead, circa 1949,
furnishes horsepower and is backed by a Ford truck 3-speed manual
transmission and truck differential. Other mechanical upgrades
include:
• Rebuilt carburetor
• New ignition components
• Rebuilt Ford truck radiator/new hoses
• Rebuilt water pumps
• Manual and electric fuel pumps
• Aluminum fuel tank
• New exhaust system
• New 6 volt battery (positive-ground)
• New master cylinder/wheel cylinders
• Bassett Wide-5 steel wheels
• New Hoosier asphalt tires w/period-correct Firestone logos
The suspension was modified for racing and a competition right
front hub has been installed. This old-school Ford stock car will
be a fun addition to someone's collection. The vehicle is sold on a
'Bill of Sale'. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
