[hotrodmatt]

I reckon this would make a pretty cool little rod...

" little "  being the operative word i reckon driving that would be like me trying on an old pair of jeans, don't think it'd fit me.

Pardon my lack of memory. Back in the late 70's or eraly 80's, I saw one of these at a NSRA event. I think it is an English Austin but my memory is so poor about this that I may all wrong.  I suppose if I took the next 2 weeks and looked through photos I might find it. I don't remember alot about it except it had the same wheels.

It's an American Austin, built in Butler Pa. I owned one for a short time in 1966, mine had a V8 60 in it, not stock. I always wanted to have one with a 454 in it.

Its an Austin Bantam.
Like the Fiat Topolino, we hardly recognise them in original form any more.  They were often cut-down for drag cars.

This one belongs to a friends father-in-law it has a 454.

Picture yourself going 80 MPH down the interstate with a 75" wheelbase - pretty scary I think.  That's why I never finished my '38 American Bantam Sedan Delivery and sold it to get my deuce roadster.

Your name was the first thing entered my mind on opening the post and seeing the picture.      :cry:

I reckon with the right credentials up front (that means engine!) you could get that thing to do wicked wheelstands!
