1913 coupe (Windstar Cargo) with 1,000,000 miles under its belt.
Might need a little paint.

Re: Interesting Speedster
Good parts on that engine, Waukesha Ricardo head, Stromberg OF carb, and gear driven oil pump. Someone’s labor of love once upon a time, built for hill climb event as evidence shows on plaque on dash.

Re: Interesting Speedster
It looks like he mounted a Reliance Tacho on the upper left hand side of firewall. I wonder how it was driven ?

Re: Interesting Speedster
Note that the builder of the speedster removed the reverse pedal and is utilizing the reverse gear that the Muncie Tranny has. A clever trick. -Dusty

Re: Interesting Speedster
I have that same Nash speedometer drive in my '22 Coupe but I'm missing the cable to connect it to the speedometer.
