This legendary Ford Anglia Small Block V8 is a true piece of West Coast drag racing history. Highly popular in the San Diego racing scene throughout the 1970s, this Anglia became a local favorite thanks to its lightweight body, aggressive stance, and serious small block power.
During the golden era of grassroots drag racing, Anglias dominated Southern California strips — and this build reflects that unmistakable 70s gasser attitude. With its compact frame and high-revving V8, it was built to launch hard and turn heads both on and off the track.
Today, this iconic machine is proudly preserved as part of the Nostalgia Street Rods Collection, celebrating the heritage of American hot rodding and the fearless racers who made cars like this legendary.
Whether you’re a drag racing enthusiast, collector, or lover of classic hot rod culture, this Anglia represents a time when horsepower ruled and Southern California tracks were packed every weekend.
