While it’s common to see significant cars hitting the auction block, the presence of record-setting vehicles is rare. One such exceptional vehicle, currently up for auction, is a race car boasting three-speed records at prominent American venues.
Crafted in 2010, this vehicle, resembling a 1950 Ford Flathead replica, was purpose-built for Vintage Oval Track class category races by the Southern California Timing Association. Its distinctive design, featuring a streamlined body and powerful engine components, signifies its pedigree as a top-tier racer.
Despite its modest 296ci V8 engine, meticulously engineered with nitro-forged pistons and forged rods, this car’s performance on the track is unparalleled. Its achievements include speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the Arkansas Mile, and the Ohio Mile, solidifying its status as a legend in racing circles.
Now slated for auction at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, this exceptional vehicle comes with a plethora of extras, including spare parts, safety equipment, and a Rance trailer for transportation. Its legacy as a record holder, coupled with its meticulous craftsmanship, ensures it will command attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike.
