Re: Model T Racing Thread
I'll check my old Harrah auction catalogs, I seam to remember this car unrestored being sold. I think Doc Pruden won it, and it has has had a few owners since then.

Re: Model T Racing Thread
Re Koukol race car: Here are a couple of pictures I took at Harrah's in the 70's. The car was outside and was to be sold. As to Doc Pruden, I do know he owned it at one time as Doc and I exchanged Speedster Christmas cards until he passed away and it was on one of his cards. The car is in front of Doc's house. jarvis

I don't believe that RAJO made an OHC converstion for that head but I could be wrong about that. Does anyone know for sure?? |

Re: Model T Racing Thread
July 2010 marks the 30th anniversary of the July-August 1980 issue of the Vintage Ford magazine, which printed my article on the Mercury Body Corporation. It is probably time to print it again. By the time Hershey rolls around again, I hope to have the upgraded article available for viewing. The process has begun on a much larger version of the history of the Mercury Body Corporation. jarvis

Re: Model T Racing Thread
I looked at it pretty closely and am sure it's a BBR that Koukol converted to OHC. I have never heard of a Rajo overhead cam set up for a BB type head but I do have an engine with a Fronty OHC set up on that Rajo head.

Do you have any good photos of T racers you can share with us?? We need more people to post things if this thread is to keep going. I think I already posted photos of your supercharged Fronty. Maybe you could post a link to you website showing your cars along with you hillclimb record holder and any old photos you may have?? |

Looks like you picked up my article on the Lompoc Model T Club. Thought you might enjoy some more photos. |

Re: Model T Racing Thread
I don't think RAJO made a single over head cam head, but they made a Twin Cam, that is VERY rare.

Thanks but for some reason the photos do not show up. It was a very good article that you wrote. |
