1928 DeSoto Indianapolis Style Race Car


Recommended Posts

Est. 3,400 cc six-cylinder flathead engine, side valve, twin downdraught Zenith carburettors, direct-drive, foot-operated clutch, solid axle, transverse leaf springs, two-wheel rear manual brakes. Wheelbase: 93"

While the builder remains unknown, this DeSoto is fashioned in the style of the iconic Indy racers of the 1920s and is believed to be a Special created on a shortened and narrowed chassis with a very sporting Indy racer-style, single seat aluminium body fitted.

Having no gearbox, the operator is in full and utter control of this car. With direct drive to the rear axle via a foot-operated clutch run by a torque tube transmission to the rear wheels, these cars were not for the faint of heart and required immense skill to drive at speed

Sold on a Bill of Sale

Asking: $35,000.00
