Take a step back in time with this captivating Crosley Dragster, powered by an methanol-injected 44ci Crosley four-cylinder engine, yes, that's right, 44 cubic inches of pure vintage adrenaline. Don't let its size fool you; this slingshot dragster has clocked an impressive 17.1 seconds at 76 MPH, proving that raw spirit and clever engineering can be just as thrilling as high horsepower.
Originally inspired by Mickey Thompson's innovations in 1954, slingshot dragsters like this one were designed to tackle the limited traction provided by the hard, narrow racing slicks of the day. By positioning the driver angled back over the rear axle, the design used weight and ingenuity to put power down like no other. Though they've long left the NHRA scene, these diggers have found a home in nostalgic events like the Meltdown Drags, where they continue to evoke the golden age of drag racing.
This Crosley Dragster sports a traditional build, complete with a Moon-style tank mounted front and center and distinct styling touches that make it look even older than it is. The suicide-style front spring, split wishbone-located front axle, and solid-mounted rear end create an authentic early 1950s feel, accentuated by those iconic triangular roll bars. The Moon Disc wheel covers, both front and rear, are the perfect nod to the past, while the heart of this machine, featuring a steel crank, 14:1 pistons, big rods, and methanol injection, ensures its bite matches its bark. The eye-watering roar of the exhaust is enough to bring a tear to any enthusiast's eye.
For anyone eager to experience the sights, sounds, and thrill of vintage drag racing, this Crosley Dragster is a rare gem. It's an unforgettable entry into the sport, offering all the charm of a bygone era, with enough power to carve a smile on your face from the starting line to the finish. Don't miss your chance to own a true piece of drag racing history.
