JC Whitney 1963

 

Hmmmm.....1963. I was 11 years old and by that time I already had aspirations for a T Roadster. It took almost 40 years before I built and completed mine!

i'm 57 and finally getting around to building mine. wish i started 20 years ago.

 

Wonder who actually built them?

 

I'd build one right now at that price..

 

social media source says bird automotive but i don't know if that is both the body and frame. good question.

 

Never seen the turtle decks referred to as a "poop deck" before...good luck forgetting that new fact haha

 

that's cool! ^^^^^

 

Must be an Ohio State alum... scarlet and gray.

So when I get to the paint stage, I guess I'll have to get maize and blue. M go Blue!

 

Green and white is better.

 

Too spartan for me... at least neither of us are badgering anyone.

 

I've always thought the 60's T-bucket crowd overall were deeply entrenched in the drag racing world purely based on the wheels used.

 

That's a great looking car! It would be a real shame if that's still not around. Great windshield.

 

I know this car has been posted before but did not look back through this threads' 62 pages, not promoting this sale but have always thought this was a pretty neat T-bucket.
Has quite a lot more history than I realized, most notably to me was always the rare Creitz front wheels, but the car also has many significant components from early racing, both drag racing and sprint cars.
There are more than 200 photos (gearhead candy) below in link.

That's a very nice car. I've seen it in person a few times.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

The only thing in common with Grabowski's and mine was the Cadillac engine.
