1932 Ford Race Car Ford 136ci flathead V8 engine

Introducing a classic piece of racing history: the 1932 Ford Midget Race Car. This vintage vehicle harks back to the early days of dirt track racing, a sport that captured the heart of America during the 1920s and 1930s.

The exterior of this iconic car is adorned with chromed bar bumpers reminiscent of a football helmet face guard, both at the front and rear. The car is characterized by its sloping radiator cowl and patriotic red, white, and blue stripes on a powder yellow body. While the paint shows signs of wear and rust, this only adds to its vintage charm.

Inside, the interior boasts a cockpit engineered for the fearless. A curved aluminum dashboard houses primitive gauges, fronted by a large bakelite steering wheel. The black vinyl-covered driver’s seat is designed for durability and comfort, providing a snug fit for the single occupant.

Underneath the hood, this Midget Race Car is powered by a Ford 136ci flathead V8 engine, complete with Edelbrock heads and dual 2-barrel carburetors. The direct drive transmission keeps things simple, but note that the car is currently non-operational, requiring some tender loving care to restore it to its former glory.

The undercarriage features open steering linkage and transverse leaf spring suspension. Although mechanical hand brakes are present, functionality needs attention as both starting and braking require repairs before hitting the dirt tracks.

This enduring 1932 Ford Midget offers more than just a glimpse into motorsport history. Ideal for display or a rewarding restoration project, it awaits the right enthusiast to bring it back to life.

Note: The car is sold on a bill of sale only and carries a clean title.
