There aren’t many cars built for pure speed these days. Some people might take issue with such a blanket statement, pointing to vehicles like the 638 horsepower Corvette ZR1 or 662 horsepower Shelby GT500. We would counter that while yes, such vehicles pack a ton of power, they are also designed with driver comfort and safety in mind. Both vehicles have air bags, air conditioning, high-tech suspensions, and padded seats.

Yes, padded seats are a luxury when you talk about the earliest race cars, which weren’t much more than motorized sleds with steering and a seat for daredevils to drive. Up on the Hemmings Auto Blog is a custom built Model T Speedster with a high asking price and just the bare necessities. It takes a special kind of crazy to drive such a contraption…that begs the question, would you ever get behind the wheel?

The main attraction on this speedster is the stainless steel custom body, which wraps around a Rajo high-performance four-cylinder engine. This speedster was setup for competitive racing events and features velocity stacks, a MSD electronic ignition, as well as a custom intake and exhaust setup. There isn’t much more to this speedster than that.

Sure there’s a seat…if you can really call it that. It’s more like a stool minus the legs, and the suspension setup is pretty much non-exisitent. You just ride the rails, feeling every bump and rut in a road. Ah, what an experience that must be! With nothing but a helmet and jacket between you and the worst case of road rash imaginable, driving this speedster must be amazing.

You can own that experience anytime you want, if you care to come up with the $24,750 asking price – so, would you?
