One of our best finds EVER, but will it run after sitting for more than 60 years??? This historic race car is a bit mysterious, but appears to be one of a kind. We piece this OFFYETTE quarter midget race car back together, which was originally built in 1955, based on my research and information from Douglas Schiller, the son of the man who created the Offyette. This is one of around 12 early production Offyette bodies and may be the ONLY ONE with this particular setup. The Bolens two-cycle engine is all there, and this thing is only missing a few pieces. We hope to get it running and driving again and turn my kids loose in it once we deem it to be safe (enough).
We're still hoping to dig up more history, but we've found that the body, front suspension and steering are definitely Offyette pieces, while the frame, engine and drive train is a home brew combination. Although it may look like a vintage toy or go kart, this was a pretty legit race car! I can't believe my dad found this thing at an estate sale.
