History The 1952 Wayne Speed Equipment Catalogue

I just picked this baby up at a flee market. Along with a 1952 Ansen Catalogue. Ive never seen one, anyone else?

You could buy a full race Jimmy mill with 245 HP for $1050 in 1952...check it out.

 

Bolt on 3X1 set up for 77 bucks!

 

Sounds cheap in 2009, but you could buy a damned nice car for $1050 in 1952. In that context, it would be like dumping $20,000 in an engine today.

 

That's funny; the intake pictured there is identical to the triple intake McGurk sold until he started casting the log manifolds with "McGURK" on the side.

 

Hell you could get a damned nice 40 Ford Deluxe original paint old lady driven coupe for 300 bucks in 1952

 

Neat Find -If you copy the Wayne book I sure buy one from you!
There was a dirt modified that ran in the late 50's "Six Pack to go"
that ran the Wayne motor.

 

i think you could earn $3.00 a day too....according to my dad and he was born in '42

 

Neat score! It is always fun to look back and think 'what if?'

 

I just cant believe a catalog from 1952 has survived for almost 60 years

 

Cool, Here is a link to my catalog from 54. I wonder how much is the same between the different years.

very cool, ever get any one offer you money for it?

 

Yep..... Not for sale.... My mentor gave it to me and that means alot!

 

Looks a lot like the January 1, 1949 Wayne catalog I have, price of the engine less starter was $950.00

 

I have the real thing-Original Wayne engine(chevy version) I would be interested in a zerox copy or photos of the complete catalog.
