Summary

[edit]
Description

Jeff Gransden built two replicas of Australian Grand Prix cars back in the 70s, one was this car, a 1937 Ford V8 Indy Special, now owned by Bluey Long, the other, a stretched version, owned by Blueys brother Arthur Long. Both cars are on a 1937 Ford chassis, modified to suit the narrow bodies, that were built at the Elfin Factory in SA, in aluminium. Lights are from 1938 Ford Anglia, and the grilles are from 10/10 Ford Vans. The engines of both cars are 5 litre Ford Mercuries, ported and polished, with shaved heads, mild cams and twin Ford Carbies. They had 3 speed close-ratio boxes and diffs, front ends are 1940 Ford with semi-elliptics and hydraulic shocks.

They produced 125bhp and had a top speed of around 180kph.
