1934 Ford Indy Bohnalite Special Navigation
The first Indianapolis 500 went green in 1911 before 80,000 fans. Ray Harroun won that day, averaging 74.6 MPH in a Marmon Wasp. A Brickyard tradition was born and they've been going back home again to Indiana ever since.
In 1934, a 21-stud Ford flathead - the Bohnalite Special - sat on the grid. But, on Lap 11 it hit oil and went over the wall. That car has been faithfully recreated by the talented Roush Racing Special Projects team. They painstakingly studied photos from the Speedway archives and reference material from the Henry Ford Museum to ensure authenticity.
The original was built on 1932 Ford rails with a stock suspension and split front wishbones. The sponsor, Bohn Aluminum and Brass, crafted aluminum cylinder heads and .030 over pistons of their own design. The intake manifold held two sideways-mounted Stromberg 97 carburetors. Roush engineers masterfully combined 1930's engine building techniques with modern race technology and made 168 horsepower; nearly twice the factory-rating of the original. This car debuted in the Great Race vintage road rally in 2000, and in 2003 it placed first.
