Indy swap meet report from bubba

[BUBBAS IGNITION]

Well if ya dont go then you dont get to see some of this cool stuff. Not a flathead but we need a break from time to time!!

This was sitting next to my booth and i would put it my living room if i owned it.
Of course theres a barn find ( under a down-ed barn) story that goes with this one. The plates on the early ford parts trailer are vintage 1923 and the rumor is that it ran 139 mph on a board track We are assuming the rider actually drank part of the fuel from the can on the trailer. Has a Star magneto and a T carb,camshaft was special made by Burt Monroes parts from the gods. Eddie Rickenbacker might have riden it , but we are not sure. Cant miss these treasures!!!!

It wasnt for sale the owner loves showing it off.........

 

[Lawson Cox]

I'll bet Mike Wolf would cream in his jeans over that one.

 

[Russ/40]

Amazing piece of history.

 

[pooch]

If Burt Monro made the camshaft, I wonder what it started life as...

Maybe a AA truck rear axle ?

I think I remember reading he made conrods from rear axles .

 

[jimTN]

Not a Model T carb but an interesting one for sure.

I heard they were going to try to have it running at the next event Sept 18 & 19.
