Talk about speedsters please

Post by Herb Iffrig » Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:22 am

Today I met with some friends at McDonalds. My friend Paul who was there said he would like to build a speedster that would resemble a Bugatti in the 1920's. He doesn't care about authenticity but would like it to outwardly look like the Bugatti roadster style. He doesn't want to wait to find all the special original parts it might take, he is wanting to have a car he can enjoy driving around. He wants to use parts he can mostly order from a catalog from the vendors. I assume that this would be built around Model T items.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions to help him. Perhaps he would be better finding something similar to what he wants and make it to suit him.
I would like to hear what you have to say.

Herb

Herb, does he want an antique vehicle that looks like a Bugatti, or just a car that looks like a 20's Bugatti? A few years back someone made a Bugatti kit that fit on a Volkswagon chassis. I just googled "Volkswagon Bugatti kit" and found several for sale. Might be an option.....

Model Ts are something a person needs to be drawn to. With their idiosyncrasies, and considerable safety issues, a model T is something that needs to be understood, and cared about. In return, they connect their caretakers with a connection to history, their own and the world's in general. Model Ts usually endow their people with an understanding of the world and people around them, beyond what most people will ever know. (If I am not careful, someone may lock me up for being a loony?)

If what someone wants is an unauthentic toy that resembles a Bugatti from the '20s? He would probably be better off with one of the Bugatti kit cars. They are for sale already done on eBad nearly all the time. Kits used to be available designed to be installed on modified Volkswagen chassis. With the climbing value (?) of '60s/'70s Volkswagen cars and parts, I do not know if such kits are still readily available or not. There used to be kits for use with other chassis also. Personally, I never cared much for the wanna-be-Bugatti cars myself. I have seen a lot of them over the years. And many people do enjoy them. I would guess, a person may be able to buy a completed car for less than the cost to build one.

I have seen a couple model T speedsters that somewhat resembled the Bugatti. One is owned by a fellow that lives not far from me. But he has other model Ts as well, and is a good model T person to begin with.
It really boils down to what an individual really wants. And what he wants in return from the car.

Here is a picture of an authentic Bugatti that ran in the Santa Clara Valley Endurance Run. It has a lot of features. It was running an in-line 8 cylinder with over-head cams.

I saw one of those Bugatti replicas outside a junk shop in South East Kansas a year or so back. It's probably still there.

The wheels look vaguely familiar...

Before committing to a T chassis, I would recommend checking the Northwest Vintage Speedster website, nwvs.org. There are dozens of speedsters pictured, if there isn't one he like, he might not be able to use a T. I don't think you can get the passengers as low as the bugatti with a T chassis. He might see something that appeals to him.

Herb, if your friend Paul is willing to adapt his ways to the 'T tapdance' building on a T basis would be fun, parts and even speedster bodies are readily available, but if he has a hard time adapting he might be better off with something based on a A, plenty complete A speedsters on *bay. :roll:

There's a Bugatti replica fiberglass body on an "A" chassis for sale in the Facebook group "Speedsters & Pre-War Racing Cars Only"
It's a private group, so I can't share it here unfortunately. Is he still looking for a body?

The #32 that Frank posted was built by Robin Pharis. It has a fabric boattail and was built on a modified TT frame. Since Robin is about 12 feet tall it has a very generous cockpit. He sold it a couple years ago and I believe it is in Oregon.

No need to make a copy of the radiator, just order one from Brass Works, and while your waiting you'll likely need to make a copy of several dozen $100 dollar bills

If your budget is high enough, you can't get much closer to the real deal than this. It would be hard to make a T sound like this.
