This 1940 Ford circle track racer is currently listed out of Brick, New Jersey with a buy-it-now price of $6,900. Originally built in 1950 and constantly updated over subsequent racing seasons, it has significant racing history in the Virginia and North Carolina region with multiple races in other locations around the country.
The car looks like it could use a little TLC but the current owner says it’s solid throughout and ready to race, if you’ve been day-dreaming about belting around a dirt track and kicking up a little mud, this might just be your ride.
