This car wears number 78B as it was raced in 2013 at The Race of Gentlemen. It was also at the 2014 TROG. The original 29' roadster body was fitted to one of the nicest 32' chassis we have ever seen and has all 3 vin numbers that are easy to read. The frame had a clear 1932 coupe title so the car is registered as that. Body is original 29' body with typical lower patches and rear subrails and floors modified to fit frame. The decklid is a Brookville part as are the patches but the rest of the car is Ford. The upper dash rail was removed after the 2013 TROG so that the Sellers/O'Brian Hallock windshield could be installed. The windshield has the glass groove and 1/4" laminated safety glass installed. The body was disassembled and sandblasted before any metal work was done. All patches were TIG welded in and ground. This car has no body work done as it was to look like an old race car of the era. The finish is green Self etching primer. Grill Shell and insert are original that was filled a long time ago and needs work. Headlights are old Dietz sealed beams and tail light is 20's Chrysler? Hood top in 1 piece made of steel using 32' hold downs and straps. Chassis is an original "B" 4 cylinder 32' frame. The frame had very little pitting and has all original 32' crossmembers.

On Nov-05-14 at 05:41:15 PST, seller added the following information: The dash is an aluminum engine turned one that was made to work without an upper dash rail because of the hillock windshield. Gauges are Stewart Warner Mechanical Oil pressure, 2 Mechanical water temp (one in each head), Ammeter, and an electric tachometer. The tach is the 2nd one I have installed and the needle bounces around and doesn't work right. The torque tube has a speedo drive on it and a speedometer could be added. Seat belts are old aircraft type. interior is very minimal and uses the original A seat riser. The fuel tank is a Speedster tank that I bought thru Snyder's new and I think it was about 10 gallon.
