The Allard was once described on the pages of Road & Track magazine as 'the most consistently successful hot rod of all time.' The car was the creation of Sydney Allard.
The J-2 was the most famous of all Allards built. Only 90 are believed to have been built, but sorting out the question of which cars had which engine poses an ongoing challenge for Allard enthusiasts to this day. The car was extensively raced, wrecked, repaired, and rebuilt.
The motors that made the Allard J-2's reputation were Chrysler and Cadillac motors, both displacing 331 cubic inches. They were rated from the factory at 180 and 160 horsepower, respectively - but were easily pushed beyond that.
The cars raced throughout the United States as well as in Europe and South America.
This example was brought to the United States in the mid-1970s, having a previous race history in the United Kingdom. This car features several modifications which make it especially roadworthy, including a Borg-Warner T10 gearbox.
The restoration of this car was completed in March 2011.
