"1948 Kurtis Kraft Midget Racecar
Frank Kurtis brilliantly engineered single-seater midget racers proved almost unbeatable on the racing circuit.
Race Track History-
The #17 we have here for sale was known to have competed at tracks around Ohio, New York and New England. Tracks such as Riverside Park, Riverside Speedway, Little Valley, Batavia, Buffalo Civic Stadium, Flemington, Sportsman Park, Ohio Motor Speedway, and so many more.
The Drivers-
Known as The Haviland Special as it was built by Warren Haviland and during its time racing was driven by Vern Harriman, Graham Roy, ""Wild"" Bill Gallagher, Pew Wee Southcott, Roger Beech, and Joe ""Pop"" Graham just to name a few.
Ownership-
History documents show that the Kurtis ran under the #12 and #17 along with once being owned by Ray and Fannie Barnes of New York. During their ownership, the racecar was known as Slo-Poke of which it was not slow at all. The car eventually made its way into the Dennis Carpenter Collection in Concord, NC.
Power-
Currently powered by a 60 H.P. Ford Flathead V8, history shows that at one time it had been Offy powered for a few years.
Other unique features that make it a Kurtis Kraft are the Halibrand rear end, Norden steering, Kurtis gas tank and Kurtis seat.
Included with the sale are photos and historical documentation of the racecar's history.
This is an opportunity to have a well-documented and correct Kurtis Kraft Midget, so do not let it pass you by!
