Who likes Offys!?
 

1930s Offenhauser. Came with single winfield updraft carb, no number on the Offenhauser plate, and a CLUTCH! Clutch has been removed and fuel injection has been added in place of the winfield.

I don't like them too much.:D If you're giving one away, it would sound really good in my old Plymouth.:O:

Re: Who likes Offys!?
 

For about $17k you too can own one! This one originally came as 91ci. I believe it originally ran on gasoline because of its age. The modifications made that I know of were 40 over pistons done by Ken Hickey and the fuel injection system that Joe added. The thing is a beauty.

I am old enough to have grown up in the Offy times. I won a CSRA midget championship in 1961 and ran Tampa Fairgrounds Sprints in 1962. The Offy's were a sound that I will never forget. I raced 48 years before retiring and I think the old Offy's were the greatest sound in racing. One of the prettiest sights I remember is at Canfield,Ohio Fairgrounds in 1947 when the pits were filled with a field of new Kurtis Kraft Offenhauser midgets. Sorry you young racers had to miss this time.

Re: Who likes Offys!?
 

I don't think $17,000 would touch that, maybe one more 0.:rolling

Actually that engine in the picture was purchased for $16,500 very recently.

When They Where New A Midget Engine Was Under $5000 And Not Much More For A 220ci Or 270ci

Re: Who likes Offys!?
 

I saw an old Offenhauser ad that said $1175. Not sure what year that was from though. Probably late 30's/early 40's.

Midget Or Big Car Engine

Re: Who likes Offys!?
 

I believe the midget engine.

Re: Who likes Offys!?
 

What I know is that the last Offy at Calistoga was 1968 or 69. Sometime early 2000(?) Stan Vermeil was offered 200,000 for his offy powered sprintcar. From someone from down under. He did not sell it. That was from Stan the man.:)
