eBay Find: '34 Jim Lytle Ford Model A Drag Car

We just want to take a minute to reflect on the insanity that was early drag racing. Look at the seating position in this Ford. You have a 1710 cubic inch motor basically sitting in you lap.If something goes wrong, it's going to hurt. A lot. We doubt there is a bigger thrill than trying to push a car like this to the absolute quickest speed possible on a 1/4 mile track. This car does have major drag racing heritage as it was owned and built by Jim Lytle, the man who pioneered one piece fiberglass bodies in the sport. Jim passed away earlier this year and was not able to complete the project. We'd love to see Jim's dream finished and for this car to make it down the 1/4 mile at full speed. Find it here, in CA, with current bid at $29,500, no reserve with 6 days remaining.
