Equipment
Based on a 1950 Crosley Hot Shot, modified in period by Chuck Gardner with 846cc 47hp engine, dual choke Weber carb, MGTD transmission, 12 Halibrand magnesium wheels, four wheel Goodyear Hawley spot disc brakes. Prepared to current vintage racing rules with braced roll bar, Braje sump, header and cam cover, 6 point drivers belts. Street licensed, too. Very successful in G Modified in 53 and 54, with recent VSCCA and Monterey Historics history. Carefully presented in competent vintage race condition, thoughtfully detailed without being overdone. No Reserve.
Market commentary
The seller should be very happy with this result, but even the buyer should be smiling because it is a good, sound vintage race ready car that needs nothing before starting the new season. A happy transaction for all concerned, not least RM Auctions who put $5,000 or so in their pockets.
