For anyone interested. Here is a vintage midget on eBay located in Oklahoma City.

I'm not sure, but this looks more like a TQ-(Three Quarter) midget. KInd of a forerunner of todays mini-sprint.
Can anyone tell us if that is a Crosley engine in it? Looks like 3 cylinders.

It does appear to be a Crosley. I can't believe the bid is up to $810.00!! That thing is plenty rough.

It's got knockoffs on the rear, a 'load helper' coil-over shock for support (yes they will hold up a corner on an open wheel car- I had to do it one time).
Then there's the steering wheel.......If it's never been touched since the day it came off a track, I'm betting it was mid to late 60's build. Homemade most likely . The rearend probably was a used midget unit from the 40s-50s. Very possible , but where did it run?

The eBay add says that the car has a 3 cylinder Saab engine. It comes with the trailer too.

More proof those midget type guys would use anything that would turn over! Never heard of a Saab on an oval course.
