This one of a kind historic 1925 Track T Roadster is an exact replica of the car started in 1945 by Grant Lambert and Don Borth. This exact replica was actually built by Grant Lambert and Don Borth in 1986. This history behind this car is unbelievable and a true part of auto racing history. The original car appeared in the second ever Hot Rod Magazine in Feb. 1948. This car won numerous trophy dashes and main events with Grant Lambert behind the wheel. The original car was completely destroyed at a CRA race in El Centro in 1955. Lambert and Borth collaborated in 1986 to build this exact replica. Borth, who fabricated the original nose, hood, and belly pan, reconstructed the same design for Lambert on this replica. This was the last car Borth would work on as he passed away shortly after this car completion. Through the years Borth became an excellent fabricator and worked on racecars for many racers such as A.J. Foyt, Eddie Kuzma, Mickey Thompson, Ernie Imerso and many others. In 1989 Lambert was running a WRA event at Ventura Speedway and ran over the wheel of Walt James' car, hit the wall, nearly destroying the car again and seriously injuring himself. The car was then taken to old time roadster and sprint car driver Tony Farr in Riverside, Ca. There with the help of Ray Vodden and others the famous # 44 was rebuilt as it runs today with a 3/8 x 3/8 flathead on alcohol with the same nose, hood, and belly pan built by Don Borth. In @ the year 2000 old time hotrod enthusiast Charlie Jenkins purchased this car from Grant Lamberts wife. Since 2000 Jenkins has taken excellent care of the car with the occasional trip to car shows and maybe a few donuts in the backyard, (which I witnessed today!) The car was then featured in Hot Rod Magazines May 2001 edition. This car is a true part of CRA and WRA racing history and has a true racing lineage. Jenkins, now 77, is headed to the beautiful state of Az. for retirement and desires this car to remain a piece of racing history. We need a museum or individual who appreciates the cars true history to step up to the plate and purchase this vehicle. The car is currently located in Joplin Missouri so come on Jay Leno, maybe even Joplin native Jamie McMurray, or any other true racing enthusiast who promises to give this car the home it deserves. With all this said, we reserve the right to not sell this car unless we feel its headed to an appropriate home. We also reserve the right to sell this car locally. If you desire more information, please let us know, we've got plenty.
