The Hall-Scott Engine Co was primarily an aircraft engine builder with facilities in Emeryville, CA, and Indianapolis, IN, building engines for World War I Army Air Corps bi-planes. In 1916 Colonel Hall designed a 4-cylinder, all-aluminum body racecar to compete in the Vanderbilt Cup Race of 1917. The engine was to be mounted in a 1917 Reo frame and running gear to accommodate the extremely tall Hall-Scott engine.

View info and historyThe original car that Colonel Scott designed was never built, so this car was reconstructed from original drawings with all authentic components from 1917. The build took 5 and 1/2 years to complete with thousands of rivets. It produces 125 horsepower at 1,300 RPM, which was double the power of automotive engines of the day. it produces 450 ft-lbs of torque (the same as a Dodge Viper) which is transferred to the rear end through a modified Reo transmission. It retains its dual magneto aircraft ignition and aircraft gauges. The top speed is estimated to be in excess of 100 mph.
