My friend has owned and driven this car for several years and I thought I'd snap a few shots and share it with you. [FONT=Verdana,Arial]Kurtis INDY CAR, KK 2000 - Serial Number 326

Horning GMC 270 cu. In. with 12 port iron head.

the Don-Lee Bonneville Streamliner
and later for this Indy car.
The front end of the motor and
ancillary drives are the original roller cam

Milt Marion designed the cross-springs.

Beaut and thanks for sharing. Now i know what a fly feels like.

 

Oh wow, any photos of the whole car?

 

Roll that sucker out so we can all see it!

 

Heh, that guys name was "RIchard Wood"

I guess I will never grow up!

 

I couldn't get the whole car. as you can see the garage it's in is quite crowed, and there is snow on the ground this morning here (damn!), so we didn't roll it out. here's the car last (?) summer.

 

Is that a Speedway bike in front of the car? Nice garage!

 

yes that's a Jawa speedway bike, which i hope is mine someday. it shares the garage with the Indy car and a '32 roadster.

 

Great pic's thanks for posting.

 

awesome

 

Nice car, but why the Pep Boys radiator cap and modern hose clamp? Something this original and rare should not have this sort of thing on it.

 

Very cool! Thanks for posting!
