History Joe law

Looking for information on a 40 ford coupe that Joe law built.
I think I have it but not 100% sure.
Thanks for the help

 

Maybe some further information might help your quest here. Like, where are you, where is Joe Law and who is Joe Law? Maybe a picture of said '40 Ford. And if I were you, I would plead with Ryan to change my screen name.........just sayin'.

 

Absolutely. Likely someone here can help you out-with more information and pictures. But, we don't tolerate anything involving people named Tom.

Oh, sorry, I meant Rat Rods. Welcome to the HAMB.

 

Not releated to “John law “ is he ???

 

I once fought a guy by that same last name. But he won.

 

This guy ?

I remember Joe for his LSR cars and of all things his ability to get some tires made. He needed 300 + mph front tires for his lakester and was able to get M&H to do them for him.
Kraus in Northern California was the dealer for us and there were enough made for a lot of high speed cars. When you called you asked for the “Joe Law” tires. They were for the front and about 23”. At that time there were very few smaller diameter tires and also rears.
I no nothing about his street cars but his 32 shocked a lot of us and his lakester was one of the very few over 300 at the time.

 

Wow. I wonder if that's the same guy? Tom, any cross reference to location of the coupe when found, past registration addresses, etc.?
If it's 30 ft long and about 3ft wide, it was likely his. Just sayin'.

 

Does he have a cousin named Cole Slaw? HRP

 

Read some of that and also if the coupe weighs 4000lbs it was likely his!

 

Just a teaser from 16 years ago and the embedded link doesn't work.

 

Yup, that name will get you exactly nowhere with this group!

 

If I was drinking

 

Joe Law is very distant cousin from the good side of my ancestry. It goes way back to the old country

 

Hope he doesn't have a brother named Johnny that sells car parts...Don't By'em...

 

You guyz are 'ruthless'...(which might have been Joe's X)

Well if it is the Joe Law from West Virginia who was a record holding land speed racer the guys may have lead you to the right person.

Joe Law of West Virginia, had a down run of 309.562 mph and was able to put in a good return run to set a record in C gas of 296.193, which smashed the old mark of 265.23.

 

Nah, you're thinking of his nephew, Folk Lore. Married to Val Lore.

Cheers,

I thought Val Lore was one of Zsa zsa's sisters?

 

Just fishing......or did we change cars in the middle of the stream ?

 

Somehow, the OP has only previously posted in Cars For Sale. One must conclude he wants to establish provenance to sell this one too.

 

Well, any more crumbs of information for us, RR Tom?

I own his record setting 29 roadster the frame and grill shell is the only 32 on the car
