"1930 Ford Model A Slingshot
""The modern slingshot can trace its roots in the history of slingshots all the way back to around the 1860's. Goodyear develops vulcanized rubber in the 1840's.Juveniles started making DIY slingshots made from the fork of tree branches. The earliest versions of slingshots were primarily created for vandalism. Even still, small game such as rabbits, squirrels, quail, pheasant, and dove commonly became dinner at the hand of a slingshot."" Thx�sling-tech.com. Slingshot propelled a projectile from a stand still to lightning quick speeds.�

For consignment, a 1930 Ford Model A Slingshot with the true mileage unknown. As our consignor states it, this is an old school 1929-30 drag car, with a wild tiger paint job and even a rear appendage that will have you scratching your head...or tail.�
Exterior
Hints of a 1930 Ford can be seen in the body but this heavily altered car is built for racing and so every nut and bolt are purposefully positioned to create a unique ride. The gaping opening where a grille would be is actually the mouth of the tiger that's painted on the car, head lurching forward flanked by claws out paws on the hood. Hand painted tiger stripes on orange are artfully and whimsically done on the car, a white belly implied on lower panels. The push rod out back has an extension piece that creates a curled tiger tail, looking like something fresh out of Cat in the Hat. Don's Esso station is advertised on the side and 15-inch Weld DragLites are in front with 16-inch steel wheels in back with wider tires, and single exhaust pipes that widen as they end leave from both sides of the engine.�
Interior
A roll cage, racing seat, and a racing harness awaits the driver along with a simple steering wheel and B&M shifter.�Gauges are propped up on the cowl in front of a canvas air dam and behind exposed velocity stacks on the hood. It's bare bones and no frills and intended to move this big cat down 1,320 feet without distraction.�
Drivetrain
Visible from the outside is a 239 flathead V8 with Fenton heads, a Thickstun 2+2 PM7 intake, and dual 2-barrel carburetors. A 3-speed manual routes power to the 12 bolt rear axle with drum brakes found on the rear wheels. The flathead's distinctive three exit headers lead directly to a straight exit pipe while a Chock-full-o-Nuts coffee can wraps the starter, because why not.�
Undercarriage
The tube frame carries the fiberglass body which in turn covers components that include ladder bars and coil springs in the back. There's some oil about but nothing major and everything looks to be intact underneath, including boxed aluminum panels over most of the driveshaft which is kept in place with a requisite driveshaft loop. Front suspension is exposed and is a transverse leaf spring in front of orange shock absorbers and ladder bars and coil springs are in charge of keeping the rear tires planted.�
Drive-Ability
Our consignor stated that the car is not running so some tinkering will be required before your first quarter mile pass.
Esso's brand campaign slogan was, ""Put a Tiger in Your Tank"". Well, this racer put a tiger on the car and represents both a vintage old school racer, and an advertising novelty that is almost worthy of museum residence, be it for racing, petroliana or even advertising, it's a match! If this is the purrfect addition to your collection, claw your way over to Classic Auto Mall!�
