Recently arrived at our shop.
This is NOT a replica. We just found this '38 Ford V8 powered, -passenger steel-bodied Boat-tail Speedster race car, ere in Alabama. The car was nearly all restored, ut work had stalled due to the owner having health problems.

The car was being completedwith the intention of being used on both street and track.
Just back from the upholstery shop, t is listed here, eforecontinuing with completion of restoration details
ALL reasonable OFFERS Considered
While the car was at the upholstery shop, e have learned from a vintage oval track collector, hat the car was built and raced in the early 50's by Jake Banks of Banks Auto Parts, untsville Alabama. Mr Banks died in 1988., nd the car was later sold by his Estate.
We continue to look for more information and early pictures.

The V8 motor starts easily, nd runs VERY well.

Clutch, rakes, nd steering are good, nd the car is fun to drive.
Will need an appropriate gauge panel, nd completion of interior and lights, tc.There is a functioning panel, ut it is so the car may be run, ut had not been finished. The tires are decent, but theyshould be replaced before serious use.(We have not had to put air in them since getting the car)
