History Super cool 40 ford round track beater

Anthony- you would again be one of a kind at the event, which is always admirable. Are you thinking street car?

 

Nope.
Thinking more about the RPU pieces
But around here you could drive it just about anywhere.

 

I remember well cars like that racing in Illinois and Missouri in the '60's when I was a kid. I would love to find a '40 old timey circle track car!

Is the rear axle moved forward or is the body set back

 

@anthony myrick, first off awesome place eh!, second...do you have a shot like the first image but showing the whole side profile...that rear fender treatment looks pretty swoopy...

 

Hammer Time.

 

Not another pic.
And I was just looking at it

 

A guy he knows that collects old race beaters is trying to trade him out of it.

At least it might end up at a good home.
The owner said that the guy wants to make it track worthy

 

Different eras different times. I grew up watching 39-40 Ford coupes beating and banging at the local track.
A friend 10 years older used to watch 32-34 coupes swapping body panels when he was a kid.
I'm trying to get my hands on a Model A coupe that was last raced in the early 60's.
When I got started racing you could buy 64-65 Chevelle 2 door hardtops for $50-75 and a few were SS's.
Just old rusty clunkers that were perfect fodder for the beginner stock cl***. Bouncing off another car was allowed.
We had a blast. Ran 3 nights a week. Raced for beer money. Body too beat up...go get another one. Zero regrets.
The hand wringers will always be around. Grab a towel for the tears about how many 'cl***ics' were lost.

 

Saved a few pieces from the guy
