No Reserve: Offenhauser-Powered Kurtis-Kraft Midget Race Car

This 1950s Offenhauser-powered Kurtis-Kraft Midget Race Car is a unique, vintage vehicle with a distinct racing heritage. Crafted by the renowned Kurtis family, this hand-built masterpiece features an aerodynamic, lightweight fiberglass body that sits atop a proprietary chrome moly steel tube chassis, making it agile and nimble on the track. Under the hood resides a powerful Offenhauser aluminum inline four-cylinder engine, originally developed for Indy-style car racing. The meticulously maintained powerplant breathes through dual Stromberg carburetors and produces an exhilarating 140 horsepower at its peak. This vintage racer is designed with both function and form in mind; its distinctive air scoop on the rear fender, reminiscent of the early hot rods, allows for optimal engine cooling during high-speed runs. The car showcases a classic black paint job with elegant gold pinstriping, adding an extra touch of refinement to this vintage racer's timeless appearance.
