Excellent Build! I am building my own version of a Boat Tail speedster in my 1920 Garage on my channel. It is a disease for sure but, what a disease it is.
Did this Model A sell? For what price? Absolutely love it!
It was built by Ken Griggs of Shreveport, LA in the late 80s as I recall. I built his first Great Race car and just assisted on this one.
It was determined that Ken needed a car that would accelerate and stop quickly after the first Great Race. Ken drove his 29 Roadster Pick up in it. I told Ken he needed an old race car and Ken asked where he could get one. I said lets just built it like it would have been built in the day. The rest is history.
Wow! Thanks for the info! If you have anymore, like other times it raced etc. Please let us know.
That car ran the Great American Race a few times then Tom McRae, Great race Founder) bought it and used it to zoom into each town ahead of the racers to get the public excited. In 1993 I got to drive it around in St. Louis, just for fum with McRae's blessings. It was a ball, unlike any other Model A I've ever driven.
The sound of the car engine is like a WWII fighter plane engine😅
I’ve been thinking about building a model a speedster, and this one has a number of really good ideas on it. Glad I happened across your video.
Glad you got some insperation. We have a full in depth photoset if ya need it.
@@FerrarisOnline Is the photoset available for everyone?
Nice video. However I think that you will find that Cadillac and Austin 7 was the first production cars to have the peddles in this order. Not Ford.
Does it still have the cable(rods) brakes?
Yes it does.
sorry they made Hot rod parts for a model A when they where new
We never said they did not. Basically one the best thing you could do for the car is weight reduction through a rebody.
Ha! the goggles! now that's how to drive a car!
They were my dads goggles from when he raced in the mille miglia.
@@FerrarisOnline That's awesome. Made me think of this ua-cam.com/video/n_gfHpqzZGY/v-deo.html
