1928 Chevrolet Beach Racer news, pictures, information


This Beach Racer was built in Jacksonville, FL, by Bert Moyer. He utilized a 1928 Chevrolet engine, rear axle, front axle, and brakes. The rest of the running gear is a 1926 Chevrolet. The body was so rusty it was duplicated in Jacksonville, FL, by Jimmy Britts and painted by Steve Pisano. The car was raced in northern Florida and southern Georgia in the 1930s. Bert raced in Atlanta against Ralph DePalma (1915 Indy 500 winner) among other drivers.

The car was found in boxes in Mrs. Sally Moyer's garage in Jacksonville in 2006. She is the daughter-in-law of Bert Moyer. The car was restored in Jacksonville, FL, by Randy Kimberly and was unveiled at the Amelia Island Concours.
