Looks like a Kurtis Midget. Saw one in the North Ga. Mountains near Blairsville 10 Years ago setting by the side of the road.

I forgot the chassis but he bought it for $8000, came with 4 spare Ford Flathead 60's. The funny part is that the body is the easy stuff to work on, whats killing his pockets are the engine parts. Paying $1000 for a set of heads which are back ordered for a year, its hideous. He saw it on ebay and couldn't let it go... My grandpa use to race them and my dad thought it'd be cool to have one too. In fact I think he got lucky because he was looking back to all the documents on the car and I do believe it was one of the cars that raced with my grandpa too, so really he has a car from the same time. Pretty cool stuff I guess.. Only scary part is that he's keeping most of the stuff original other than the fuel pump. Still using the metal hand lever for the brakes and everything. The gas tank that was in the car looked like a propane tank, and it was the first time we sat in the car because our legs couldn't fit. Well its an original steering wheel too, so I guess he would get in and have me hand him the wheel with a quick disconnect hub, otherwise if he crashed or something he can't get out. >_>

That is funny.

I had V-8 60s as well, but they were in a 1959 Anglia. Big step up from the 35 hp flathead four. Gave them to a friend who collected midget race cars in Miami 30 years ago.

It still makes me cry to think that v8's back then made 60hp... And the flathead 4, 35hp, you can get those numbers out of gocart engines now. x_x
