harris speedster

The guys at the society of automobile Historians guided me that way a while back. I am a member also. I need to know the easiest way to turn the Speedster to them for induction into their Hall of fame. Do you no anybody on the board of engineers? Thanks Merry Christmas, John

Leif, I am speaking to a guy that has a Gurney eagle that was maybe the last car planned for a Coventry Climax engine. He has some Allards, one may have ran at LeMans I think ? ? He is a metal crafter and he may take on the Harris Speedster metal fabrication. The pictures starting to come out in this thread are really historical. Are you on the board of the Society of Automotive Engineers ? I need an in with that club. Thanks John motorcarinvestments@gmail.com

Wayne Carini sold one of the 375 MM electric cars through Bonhams a few years back.$26.000 to my best recollection. 308 is a gas powered mint unit. the F1 race car needs resto as does the 375MM Invitationals now have classes for these rare Ferrari pieces of History. Please just phone for info, condition and prices. John Nebo Illinois 217-734-9400

I have 6 Jr;s for sale, from properly restorered to needing restoration. They were powered by a full size car battery and used starters for their drive motor. They are now being accepted into many Invitationals now>> worldwide. 5 1955-57 Bird cars 2 1964 Bird cars 1958 Pontiac 1957 Plymouth 1957 Ferrari 375 MM John 217-734-9400

To my best knowledge. All ford pumps were AC Units. I know there are aftermarket pumps, the brand names escapes me at this time. The Fuel bowls for Bird were also AC. Cool tid bit >>> Ford owned Holley years ago, the toilet bowl Holley 4 barrel was even used on a 57 F supercharged Bird and or Ford pass. BTW, have a 57 Supercharged F bird for sale, and several T Bird Jr Cars. 55-63 John

Paint color may be a stock Bird color. They used Colonial white on many Ford cars and truck. Just a good guess that might help out? I have some new NOS ford/bird dog dish caps and some full wheel covers. Both look like they laid a stencil over it and sprayed them. Few have overspray. Very cheap and light spray that sometimes is so thin, almost looks like somebody polished them and wore through the paint. BTW, have a 57 Supercharged F bird for sale, and several T Bird Jr Cars. 55-63 Thanks John

I have heard rumors that the 55=56 skirts are different than 57. I compared a new nos set of 57 skirts to 55-56 skirts>>> I found no visual difference. I placed them flat also, saw no difference in length or rise difference. BTW, have a 57 Supercharged F bird for sale, and several T Bird Jr Cars. 55-63 Maybe this might help ? John

Mike, Sorry, none left have a pair of 57's, but they are different as you know. Thanks John

BRASSKEN, BY CHANCE DO YOU HAVE ANY 35 0R 36 FORD FULL HUBCAPS? THANKS motorcarinvestmenst@gmail.com

MAYBE THIS WILL HELP. A GUY IN COLORADO DOES MANY PACKARD'S, DUESENBERG'S, AND AUBURN'S. HE HAS A IN HOUSE RESTO SHOP AND A STATE OF THE ART FULL MACHINE SHOP. BEST OF THE BEST FOR WORK AND KNOWLEDGE. SITE NAME; A ROAD LESS TRAVELED.

Steve, Norm replied back and said I did need the paperwork. If you do not have it handy, I will attempt the main office? I finally posted pics of it, and paid homage to Richard Taylor. ( TAYLORMADE ) He is a true professional. Getting my ducks in a row, few years to go, but I like to get all things in order. Respectfully John

I have owned this sensational work of art since 1987. Ben and the Speedster were both official representatives for the AAA. A true exotic super car, size of a AC Cobra. Its first showing was by Invitation to the Chicago International Auto show, it was placed on pedestals. Thanks to Mr Richard Taylor, site name; TAYLORMADE for this remarkable rendering ! Respectfully, John

Mr Richard Taylor is a Master. This Graphic art was professionally rendered by Richard in late 2016. It was proudly displayed for thousands to see, this past Sept, 2021, at Ben's Induction Ceremony in Watkins Glen NY. WALK OF FAME ! The Speedster is the size, height, length & width of an AC Cobra

This is a Nassau Bahama International race that Ben was the FIA official at. Ben began AAA racing in 1930's, the FIA and SCCA. The legends are in this lineup. I need a shirt like this for show display.
