If I had some piss money around, that looks like it could be fun!

Especially kicking in the WOT after sun set!

I'd like to pull that one in for smog inspection just to watch their faces...

I love it! some work went into that! Never have to worry about a defroster!

I wonder what type of reduction gearing is in it??

it should top out at MORE than 125?

I'll bet that thing sounds pretty bad@$$

This is what Darian should have bought for his retirement from the Airforce. ;)

Too Cool!
I've emailed the guy for a viewing. If I can get a chance to see it next weekend (none of you guys buy it before then :) ) I'll do a full report on it.

I saw one of these come thru Knoxville in 1964 when Chrysler was doing cross country test. This was before the interstate was finished and Hwy 11/70/25 came right thru the middle of town. You knew it was no V8 you were hearing.

Typical. The windshield washer bottle cap is missing. :)

I like how he states " use to be new". Theres nothing like stating the obvious. Its a shame he didn't bother to clean the car up before putting it up for sale. I think this could be a really cool addition to someones collection. Heinrich, you should add it to your fleet. No timing belt worries with this one. ;)

Just watch out for hot/hung starts and torching. Would make quite the spectical with a bright orange flame coming out the exhaust on the hood! Kinda like the bat mobile when it started.

Adam see if you can get a ride in it also? Jet engines do have "spool up" time (lag). Id be curious to see how it performs in everyday drving.
