My Antique Nationals New Ride

I picked up thie A model last night. I didn't think I was gonna have a ride for the race in 3 weeks. Then BAM, I bump into a buddy that has this gem takin up needed space in his backyard. I need to go buy a lottery ticket or sumthin. The same thing happened last year, except I had 2 months , instead of 3 weeks. The car runs and drives, well it will after a refurb on the distributor, and a frontend swap. I can wait, another 50MPH quarter mile pass. Yee Haw. Creeper

 

Another shot, I love this car!

 

Lucky man, good luck with it!

please please please.... do not channel/chop/anything that car... that thing is fucking cool as is.

get it running, clean up any thing necessary, and run it like hell!






then again, it isn't my car, so do what you want!

have fun and keep us posted!

that thing is absolutely sweet as it sits.

 

I agree 100% with Bornwithatail, I love it. I want one now.
Incidentally, when I saved the pic, it seems you have titled the photo something about "toilet." Why is this?

 

Wow. I need to move to the west coast. Good score!

It doesn't say toilet it says untitled. lol

 

Nice find Creeper. Body looks pretty solid. Are you dropping the front end?

 

GOW JOB! did that used to be a coupe?

 

And by the way great car.
Yes it was a coupe or at least the cowl was.

got that right.

 

Hey, if you hear about a THIRD one, lemme know...

 

I'm not gonna change a thing on this car!!!!! I love the way it looks,it's like a time capsule. It was a coupe originally, but someone needed a tan I guess. I'm gonna put a log intake with 2 97's, and a torquetube header and call it done. I don't even want to lower it, it's kinda different. It reminds me of those late 30's lake jobs. Creeper

 

Cut that one down too Larry and send it to me, address it to......................

 

When I right click on it, it says "403030-toilet2" as the file name before I changed it...

 

Okaly dokaly neiborino.

 

Peddro, just tell me where you want me to cut it.

 

Yea Nice Find! I wish I was that lucky.

 

great find,doesn't look like she needs anything but rid of that trailer.Not that i'm implying she's only going to be trailered,just that she looks a little lost up there.I'd like to say i give my left nut to find something like that but around here somebody might take me up on it

 

I know the trailer is abit on the nice side. The funny part is - $3500 trailer behind a $500 truck. It's my dad's trailer, and it sure tows easy.

 

That thing is sexy....

Nice score!

Mike

 

Put a VW distributer on it.Very easy swap.I just did one on my budget banger

 

Jeep distribute is an even easier swap.

 

I might have a lead on an old Mag for the Banger.For now I'm gonna redo the stocker to get me down the strip at the Nats.

 

Hinges on a welded door? Was this thing owned by an Irishman?

Larry: I'll PM ya soon about the 27. Just been a bit too flat out to think about LOGISTICS lately...

 

Great find! Looks perfect just as it is! Have fun with it!
