This single-seat speedster was built by the seller, Bennetts Customs of Dunsborough, Western Australia, utilizing a custom-fabricated body mounted to a modified Ford Model A frame. Dubbed the “Midnight Special,” the car is powered by a 21-stud flathead V8 equipped with a Holley 94-style carburetor and backed by a three-speed manual transmission. A brass windscreen and polished louvers accent the maroon exterior, and other highlights of the build include a drilled front axle, cowl steering, Smith friction dampers, split wishbones, 21” wire wheels, and side-mounted exhaust. The build was documented on the seller’s YouTube channel leading up to the car’s debut at the 2022 Red Dust Revival held at Lake Perkolilli. This boat-tail speedster is now offered on a bill of sale in Perth, Australia.
