Bespoke 1923 Track Roadster Project

2 cars / 1 year 8 month build time
from pencil line drawing to finished vehicles.

Hand fabricated steel / aluminum body based on a 1923 Model T roadster. All supporting parts were built in house or forged from master patterns then machined for fitment.

It's a completely re-imagined Hot Rod, combining the spirit of early Southern California dirt oval racers with performance characteristics that likely rival the finest sports cars of today.

530hp LS powered
5 speed, Cowl Side Steering
1804 lb. OAW

Purpose Built . . . Passion Driven
