1930s Ardun-Ford-Powered Sprint Car

This Ardun-Ford-powered sprint car, originally built in the late 1930s on Long Island, New York, features hand-formed aluminum bodywork and a modified Ford frame. It was raced in United Racing Club events before being retired in the 1960s. The car has undergone multiple refurbishments, including the installation of a 239ci Ardun-Ford Flathead V8, a custom fiberglass nose, and several mechanical upgrades. Offered in Nova Scotia, Canada, the car includes historical photos and removed parts. It continues to be a display piece and is not fitted with a VIN or registration.
