1930's Style Indy Race Car

So I designed and fabricated this car and since it is not an original car from 1930's it's difficult to place a value on it.
I'm not trying to sell it, was curious what the experts here might estimate it's value at.

I’m thinking that you could put what ever price you wanted on it. Coolest thing I’ve seen on here in a long time.

 

What frame are you running?

 

I fabricated the frame out of 2" x 5" and 2" x 4" rectangular steel tubing.

 

start at 150k

 

Take it to shows and wait for the blank check for you to build an appreciative client another one

 

That is very nice and your craftsmanship is amazing!

 

Yeah, that's pretty much awesome. Good work!

 

That is some great craftsmanship and I loved everything about it until I saw the engine. Beautiful job on the rest of it.

 

That is a very nice build, probably better made than back in the days! But the engine.... All that effort, and then blow it by putting a bread, and ****er V8, SO SAD!

This car emulates a 30ies pre-war race car VERY NICELY! Natural choice for such a fine build is a straight 8, or a V12, with those 16 fake pipes it should have a V16, and USE the pipes And NO BILLET parts like on that engine!!! If I were you I would look for a V16, or other pre-war engine.

The disc brakes also aren't period correct but I think that can be overlooked.

The value is impossible to ***ess. The Pur Sang PERFECT replicas of Bugatti 35 down to the real I8 engine cast, mechanical brakes are 250k -300k. The Porche inspired hand made cars by Runge also run in the 250k, and over range.


Here is an example of proper engine for such a car.

 

very nice build- reality at 20k.

 

I have an authentic recreation of the San Diego 1960 championship car. Driven by Jim Hurtubise, Parnelli Jones, Jack Clegg and Bob Hogle. I doubt if I could get $20.000.00 for it. Ran with the pack. 2008 Darlington vintage race car show. About 108 MPH!. PS; Yes they ran a 39 Ford trans.
