Summary

[edit]
Description

John Geraghty built the Grasshopper in the late 1950s, it featured on the cover of the 1959 issue of HOT ROD magazine. A custom chassis housed a 4-71 GMC-blown 303ci Olds V8 (punched to 350 ci), La Salle transmission, and a Halibrand quick-change rear axle. All of this was draped with a removable 1915 Model T body, painted translucent glamour green lacquer, It delivered more than 800 hp, running Irwindale’s quarter-mile in the low 9s at 150-plus mph. Sadly over the years, the Grasshopper was parted out. This is a recreation of that famous hotrod, built by Dave Shuten, on display at Galpin Auto Sports.
