Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Ardun heads, S.Co.T. supercharger, dual Stromberg 97 carbs, beehive oil filter, finned aluminum sump, lowered, hubcaps, wide whitewalls, Vertex magneto, rumble seat, chopped, dropped front axle, juice brakes, 15 inch wheels.

Condition

Rough old paint artfully buffed through, oily road grimy chassis. Good replaced upholstery, no interior door panels. No passenger's door latch. A gorgeous rat rod with an engine to die for. Ralph Whitworth collection.

Market commentary

No claims for the originality of the speed equipment on this Deuce Coupe were offered and it is likely that it is built with Don Orosco repro Ardun heads and sump. The S.Co.T. blower is probably original (they're not hard to find, just expensive.) It sounds explosive and is wicked fast, attributes that make it well worth the price it brought. On the Salt during Speed Week it will not fail to attract positive attention.
