1940 Ford Flat Tail Pre War Rail Frame for sale

Restored and upgraded prewar flat tail style midget race car. Not run since 2013 when I purchased it. Engine was race built. Ignition converted to 12 volt. Original body was restored with the original modified 1932 Ford grill shell. Original brakes changed from mechanical to hydraulic using a Harley Davidson master cylinder. Chassis is original rail style with modified Franklin front axle and Model T Ford rear axle. Has an in/out box. thus push start only. no starter.
Needs to be brought back to life. by adding coolant. fuel. nbsp;battery and brake fluid. Rear tires will need tubes and all other components will need a general going over. Or. use it as is for an outstanding display piece as I have.
There is no title for this vehicle. as it was built as a race vehicle.
I can be reached at 401-447-9990 between 9 AM and 9 PM eastern time for more information or questions. Thanks.
