Equipment
A very neat little roadster powered by a Pontiac Iron Duke 4 cylinder with automatic transmission and exhaust cutout. Hydraulic finned drum brakes (Buick), Frankland quick change rear end, friction shocks, quarter elliptic front springs, period Tilt Ray headlights. Very well constructed, neatly finished and showing only limited use. A creative departure from the ordinary street rod.
Market commentary
In a sea of Chevy V8 powered street rods this Iron Duke track style T is a standout. Rods are all about individuality, and this little piece has inidividuality in Spades. It didnt find a new owner here, but at anything close to the reported high bid its a great combination of nostalgia and technology. A stick shift would make it better but as the owner noted, With two people in here, it would be impossible to shift a stick.
