Trying to locate a speedster

Post by Tmooreheadf » Tue Jun 22, 2021 8:41 pm

Several years ago, a good friend, Ken Whitaker, built a red speedster in Louisville, KY, and drove on tour for many years. It had a home built body with a unique passenger door. Another interesting feature were dual Holley NH carbs. It had a Ruckstell and old style Warford. When Ken passed, his widow sold it to Les Bryant of Smithfield, KY., maybe 6 to 10 years ago. Les did some modifications which included solid engine side panels with two holes that lined up with the intakes of the dual carbs. Les than sold it a few years ago and has he has passed within the past 2 or 3 years.
If anyone might know of the whereabouts of that speeder,I sure would like to know who now may own it and maybe a contact. I know it was list here on the classifieds and maybe one of the T magazine classifieds.
Thanks for any info!

This should be posted in the General Forum not classifieds along with the fact it will get more eyes.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
