Re: Max Speed of a Model A in Stock Form
I was cruising and there wasn't enough traffic to regulate my speed, I got stopped by police, when asked I said I was probably going over 50 a bit--- you were going 62 in a 50 he said, next it was " watcha got under the hood "----- it's original I said, want to look--- YES, he looked, shook his head, and said just keep the speed down and walked away, I knew enough to not say it had more left, I was just cruising comfortably
A stock car , restored to original specifications and tolerances I would expect 60-70, though some of the early roadsters had different ratios and ther were story's of speeds over 70
