Re: 1926 speedster / racer for sale
If you search "Hot Rod Hill Climb" 2015 Georgetown Colorado is where to find the video. It will be the car posted by Mr. Azevedo. Thank you Chad! My IT person is coaching a Junior swim meet today. I have sent a number of pics via text here and there and am happy to do so. My availability after 2 PM Colorado time gets sketchy due to variable work commitments. I will reply to all asap.

Re: 1926 speedster / racer for sale
The car will be at the 2025 Speedster reunion in Lincoln NB next week. I've received more interest East of Colorado than West and after thinking over a couple of my conversations with interested parties Lincoln will be a good fit. As always communicating by phone only 720-289-2896 lots of pictures via text and components list via email.
