Here is my just finished 23 T Front Engine Dragster. The body is fibergl***, the grille shell is a REAL HENRY '32. From what I understand, the body has history around the Wichita, KS area. It ran a stroked and blown/injected Olds engine with direct drive. From the stories I got, the owner (now since deceased) took the original car to **** Easterwood in Raytown, Missouri for some updates. The result was a complete rebuild of the ch***is, fully TIG welded, and masterfully done. The design still nods the cap to the early days of drag racing all while executing top-notch craftsmanship. There is plenty of chrome and original details to support the nostalgic look as well. The front axle is original Ford that has been milled and chromed. The rear axle is an early Ford rear as well with newer drums (Olds maybe?) The axle bells, driveshaft, backing plates, and nut cover are all chromed as well. The master cylinder and hand brake are also chromed. All the chrome is in very good to excellent condition. The lettering is done in Gold Leaf. That too is in really good condition. The front wheels are 19" spokes wrapped in 3.00-19 Dunlops. The rears are Towel City Slicks wrapped around Rocket Racing 15x10's. Full white rolled and pleated interior and new SW Oil Temp / Oil Pressure gauges adorn the interior along with a ****erfly steering wheel and quick ratio box. The engine is a 1962 390 Cadillac engine. Mounted atop the 4x2 intake are 4 BRAND NEW 97 style carbs. The engine was from a running car when I bought it in June, 2014. It was dis***embled and cleaned, then painted VHT Gold. The fuel system is finished with a new 4 gallon tank and red fuel line. I also replaced the cap, rotor, plugs and wires. The engine has not been ran or tested. I plan on showing it this winter during the indoor season. The only commitment I currently have is Retro Rewind in Dubuque, IA on January 9th. Car is also used as the artwork for the 2016 Flying Eyeball Reunion in Davenport, IA. Stainless fasteners are used throughout the engine and ch***is. There is a TON of money in this car. I enjoy the hunt and build. It is now time for someone else to enjoy it as much as I did. Will consider HAMB friendly trades plus cash or reasonable cash offers. Delivery or partial delivery may be available. Projects welcomed. NO BOATS, MOTORCYCLES, RV's, etc. Vern 563-542-3137
