Wild looking car there. Kinda has the early 60's t-bird body lines in it.

<strong>HELL YA! UNtouched too!! SWEET!</strong>

<strong>Yep, totally bone stock untouched original condition, right down to the paint niks and small body dings......<br><br>Built with the few others in '65-'66, i believe? Somewhere around there for sure tho......</strong>

I'd never seen or heard of that car prior to this thread. Man, that thing is wild.<br><br>Did it go particularly fast? Or was it just an experiment in a different type of engine?<br><br>One thing is certain; sucker is noisy.

Now that car is totally bitchen.<br>I love the console on that puppy!<br>

johnny, I 'm glad you got to hear it. I had a car in Pebble Beach a few years back and there was one there that whirred by on the grass; coolest soundingthing...
