Ford Windy City Special Sprint Car

Ford Windy City Special Sprint Car

This Ford sprint car, believed to have been built in the 1930s, is known as the Windy City Special. It was refurbished by previous ownership, featuring a frame replacement and installation of a Ford Model B-sourced 201ci inline-four engine with a Morton & Brett overhead valve cylinder head. Notable features include a three-speed manual transmission, triple Winfield carburetors, and staggered-diameter wire wheels. The exterior is finished in red with #10 Windy City Special livery and includes a roll bar, dual side mirrors, and a Miller-style aluminum grille. The suspension setup uses transverse leaf springs paired with friction shocks. The vehicle has a history in vintage racing and was involved in various VSCCA events, including a fourth-place finish at the 2023 Wilbraham Hillclimb. It is located in Maine, available with a bill of sale.
