Details
This 1955 LeGene Californian Sports Special roadster is powered by a 239ci Ford Flathead V8 engine built for speed with dual Stromberg carburetors using an Offenhauser aluminum intake manifold with Offenhauser aluminum heads. Power runs through a Ford 3-speed manual transmission with a floor-mounted shift lever. This American-built fiberglass sports car rides on a 1940s Ford frame with a dropped front axle, and the engine is installed in the same location as it was originally intended. The interior is finished with two-tone bucket seats with piping accents, black carpet and a fiberglass dash. A wood-grain panel holds the instruments, which include a speedometer, tachometer, and oil pressure and temperature gauges. This example has been on display in a climate-controlled museum since its comprehensive frame-off restoration in 2009. In 2015, it was featured on Discovery Channel's 'AmeriCarna' TV show hosted by Ray Evernham. This example has won multiple awards, including for One-Off and Limited Production class at the Amelia Island Concours 2014, beating Wayne Carini's famous Spohn Custom car on the field. **TITLED AS 1955 CAFC**
