Title Status: No Title This custom shop-built Shaw-inspired speedster is based off of the early Shaw roadsters and other kit-based racers of the 1920s–30s. It’s currently a mock-up roller loaded with fabrication work, solid parts, and great potential. Highlights include: • Believed to be a late 1940s or early 1950s Ford 8BA flathead V8 engine (buyer to verify) • molded fiberglass rear shell and louvered hood • Set up for a Ford 3-speed floor-shift transmission (transmission PARTS included, see photos) • Buttery-smooth custom-fabricated steering system • Custom-fabbed frame with integrated pedal mounts and structural bracing • Rear end with new seals, mounted via leaf springs • Fabricated brake pedal system included (awaiting installation) • 17” wire wheels wrapped in 5.25/5.50-17 nylon tube-type tires • Includes a 17" Kirkey aluminum vintage class bucket seat (PT# 41700V / Speedway #910-70053) This sturdy laid-out mock-up offers a killer foundation for a vintage-style speedster build. Finish the fab, wire it, plumb it, and make it your own. ***Group Extends with Lot 36***
