Ok, so its not my brother, but it is my dad's 1921 Fronty Ford Indy race car....basically the same thing, right?

For sale on ebay

It throws about a 6 foot flame out of the exhaust

 

Could you imagine if that thing was street legal?

I think that car counts as family.

 

that link does not look like an ebay address,

that car is sick

 

Forget Ebay, Mecum is the place for this car.....

Yea, I just found out yesterday that he put it up there. He has had it up for sale for a while, but never really advertised it. I know a few times there were some people looking around the $100k+ range, and now it looks like he wont even come close to that.

I was really hoping he would be able to sell it to a museum or something.

The guy he got it from actually raced them and was about 90+ years old when my dad got it.


Everything about this car is crazy, you would have to be under 5'6" to really be able to race it, you need like 5 hands to drive it, awesome crank start, old school radiator that has a little thermometer on top?!?!, chevrolet brothers building a ford, shifting between your legs, 6 ft flame.

Amazing that this thing has lasted almost 90 years and some new cars crap out before 10.

 

great example of how racing once was ...


oh ... and that is another great example in the background ... of a nice Honda del Sol
