Submitted by Rick Feibusch, 2009

1929 Auburn race car. 95 hp Lycoming motor ( Lycoming now only make helicopter engines) Straight eight, 4900 cc with rare Ricardo high-compression head. The entire running gear is genuine '29 Auburn apart from the front shock absorbers. - 3 speed Warner Muncie gearbox, Columbia rear axle, Dayton wire wheels, Schebler twin throat carburettor. Great effort was made to locate quality Michelin tyres. This vehicle was converted into a race car in 1960 in Oamaru, New Zealand then during the next decade raced with considerable success considering the huge weight of the machine. During conversion, the chassis was cut in half and the rear end turned upside down, make the diff underslung which unwittingly was identical to a 1929 one-off factory speedster and the '29 Trexler Special which competed in the 1930 Indianapolis 500. This vehicle, unlike the other American pair, also has its engine and gearbox lowered to promote faster cornering.
