The history of this car is as follows: Forrest Edwards decided he was going to build H Mod racecar kits in the 1950's. He built this car using a Morris Minor engine, MG rear end and brakes, and an English Ford transmission. The body is hand pounded Aluminum. It was completed in 1954 and campaigned in Pebble Beach and he promptly blew up the engine in the race. He took the car back to the LA area and refitted it with a Crosley Engine and then hired Tip Blume to drive the car. In 1955 the car was again campaigned at Pebble Beach, and it finished middle of the pack. In 1956 he again took the car back to Pebble Beach, and the car was retired because of another engine failure. There was only 1 car ever built.

The car was sold, and it campaigned in many different places until the early 1960's, without much success until it disappeared in the late 1960's. In 2003, it was purchased by a collector in Dallas, TX and restored to the 1955 Configuration and campaigned as a Vintage H Mod Race car. In 2015 it was out up for sale and transported back East and made ready for the Grand Ascent in Hershey, plus was submitted and certified for participation in AACA Class 24B. Engine issues still plagued this car as during a brief VSCCA racing career between 2016 and 2019, the Crosley engine broke a crankshaft 2 times during the Grand Ascent. The engine was rebuilt one last time in 2018 and it again participated in the Grand Ascent in 2019 without issue.


It is being offered for a Sports Car Collector and will be sold with all of the historical documents for the car. This car is also featured in the book: Racing Through the Pines.
