Meticulous restoration replicating a salt flat racer. The attention
to detail is impressive! Powered by a vintage dual quad Hemi and
sitting on a Roadster Shop chassis. Built by a very skilled
builder, he restored many of our museum pieces.
EXTERIOR: This is a genuine 1934 steel body long nose coupe. The
longer hood was desirable to hot rodders looking to stuff big
motors under them which is exactly what happened here. The body
work is outstanding it's straight and fits right. It's been
louvered across the hood, roof, trunk and frame covers. The top is
chopped, the hinges were made smooth for aerodynamics and it has
louvered doors in the hood panels. It is painted in a special red
paint and black was airbrushed giving it an authentic looking
patina. Nostalgic pinstriping and graphics were added giving it a
very cool look. It has vintage headlights in front and round
taillights in back. It has a great stance, look at it straight on
from the side. It has restored rims with reproduction Excelsior
tires that look authentic but are actually radials. A salt flat
racer used a tall tire to help achieve top end record speeds.
INTERIOR: It is restored inside to keeping the theme going. It's
been rewired and has a modern fuse block. The floor is carpeted, it
has a Lokar shifter and there's a vintage style gas pedal. Inside
the cab is upholstered and has a roll cage integrated. The seat has
genuine leather upholstery and seatbelts. A machine turned panel
has a new set of Stewart Warner gauges and a vintage tachometer
mounted below the dash. Very cool quick disconnect steering wheel.
Also, very cool handmade door panels, there are no door windows.
Other features include turn signals, 12 volt receptacle, floor mats
and pinstripe.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Yeah, it's a Hemi! It's a completely rebuilt
354 making 340 hp, it runs on pump gas. On top is an aluminum
intake with dual Edelbrock carbs and vintage air cleaners. Big
"Fire Power" valve covers. An aluminum water pump and new radiator
keeps it running cool.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Nicely boxed in aluminum with sound deadener on
the floor. It's home to the custom fuel tank and the battery is in
a battery box.
UNDERSIDE: Sitting on a Roadster Shop chassis. New frame is smooth
with tubular supports. The front end suspension and steering is all
chrome. It has a drilled drop axel. In back is a 4 link system with
coil over adjustable gas shocks. Custom made headers and exhaust
system. It has stainless Magnaflow mufflers, dumps that can be
unbolted and quad tips. The brake system is all new, it has disc in
front and a power booster under the car. Bottom of the motor is
spotless; it has a high torque starter. The trans is a Turbo 400
automatic with a chrome pan. A rebuilt drive shaft leads back to a
Ford rear end. The floors are clean with a neatly applied chip
guard paint. It has dual oil filters and a Holley fuel system. It's
very meticulous under this car.
SERVICE: It needs nothing. With that said it's a fair-weather car
that you would most likely drive locally.
What a conversation piece. My father and several of the people that
work here loved it, it is different from anything they've seen.
It's a high quality build that is worthy of any collection.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide

vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
