1923 Ford T Authentic Vintage Drag Car Original This is Not a modern day Rat Rod

1923 Ford Model T Racing

You are viewing an authentic example of early drag racing history, when young men full of "vim and vigor" expressed their mechanical prowess by modifying early cars to fill the need for speed! This 1923 Ford Model T was built sometime in the late mid to late 1950s, It was fitted with the famous Red Ram Hemi and like so many others of the day driven to the drag strip, wherever it might be in those early days.

This car was retired and put in a barn out in Oak Harbor, Washington (yes, another barn find) around 1960. It stayed there until an old time hot-rodder found it in 1970. From the barn the car was moved to his garage near Seattle. He started the car, but didn't drive it, as the brakes needed work. As he told me, it ran real good, and I decided to freshen it up and drive it someday"Well as things go, someday turned into 47 years, and the car was still on stands when we acquired it.

Finding a real drag car from the 1950s isn't an everyday happening and we couldn't help it.We tried to find out some history on the car, but unfortunately it seems that everyone that might have been able to shed some light on it, has passed on to the bid drag strip in the sky.The car has a Red Ram 241 Hemi engine, what appears to be a Lincoln gear box, 40 Ford rear axle and hydraulic brakes, 40 Ford front brakes, gas tank in the back and nitro tank in the front. Original Offenhauser Tri-Power with Stromberg carburetors. Cool old wide-whitewall tires, and drag slicks. There are several boxes of parts that came with the car and they are included. I appears that everything to put the car back together to run and drive is there.

We are offering this opportunity for you to own this remarkable and important survivor of the early days of drag racing history that you can drive on the street. We have listed the car with NO RESERVE. This way can decide to restore it, just assembleto run and leave it as foun, or ?? You get to choose.
