The Monsterati was featured in Vintage Motorsports excellent Road Racing Specials series which covered the 1950s and early 1960s era before the onset of professional Group 7 cars.Originally Posted by Ray Bell
Quite the monster then...
A '39 Ford Chassis? I suspect that was highly altered as it seems to me the chassis shape would be wrong to come up with that sort of car.
Though this chassis is a ute, thus had a different rear end, it's essentially the same:
The feature on the car says the chassis was 1939, which "was Z'ed, the engine moved back, and the front solid axle radius rods were modified to make the front axle act as an anti-roll bar".
A lot of popular hot rodding tricks from the time were incorporated into the car. The whole car was said to have been built for $900.
