I bought it. It was 2 miles down the road from me. I just couldn't convince myself to buy it, but the wife said she didn't mind.

This thing was built by a guy called Quad Al.Two 3420 cubic inch Allison 24 cylinder aircraft engines,about 3000 HP each.All wheel drive.I think it made some show off runs at a few tracks


I believe "Quad Al" had FOUR Allison engines, hence the name "Quad AL"

 

heres a few more

 

moparron;
the red car belongs to a father and son teamout of Ontario Canada.They bought the car a couple years ago from RJ.
The photo was taken at lancaster NY by Bob Wenzelburger

 

That car looks like this now.LOL Well did,actually the wheelbase is 10"s longer now than in this pic.Still looks good though.

 

you mean this one??? Ron..

 

In the early 70's in Atlanta Georgia my Dad and his friends drag raced at Fairburn Dragstrip. Reggie had a altered wheel base 56 chevy sedan,and his other friend had a Fiat Topolino,white with a blown injected bigblock chevy (memory) and it had a distinctive paintied caveman w/club on the frt grille area which was an Iskendarian Cams Logo?? I will have to scan some pics when I find them.

 

That's the one. I see it all over. Not a big fan of the color myself, but I like the car.

 

This is weird, I painted a cave man with a club on the front of a Topolino in the late 60's. It was a logo for Savage Clutches.
The car was called the Savage. It had a clutch flite tranny, and an olds rear end. ---could this be the same car ?
Hope you find the pics

 

Man you can almost smell the Nitro!

Here's the Fiat we built. Totally impractical, but my father always liked the Comp coupes.

 

I will be looking hard now speedwagen,hopefully we will share a few photos and possibly link the car to each other.

 

here's a pic of ours...

 

This is a strange one with a mid mount motor

26Tudor,the 3420 cube Allison is actually two 1710 cube V-12's on a common crankcase.

 

hey chris, what do you mean impractical? we have three of them that run in my organization. i am an old fart too, i also think comp coupes are just to cool too. i have a 440 dodge front engine dragster and a fiat body and have been eyeing this combo too.

 

Almost unbeatable in the 50's.

 

Here Are Some More Pictures Of Mike Sullivan's Fiat.
I Am Certain That This In The Fiat My Dad Has In His Garage. The Guy He Bought It From (lanzino & Skov) Ran It In Super Comp, It's Painted Black Cherry Red, And Lettered "the Godfather". The Trillo Bros. Had The Car Lenthened And That Is How It Is Today.
I Think That The White / White And Blue Car Is A Different Car, I Could Be Wrong Tho. Maybe Someone Out There Remembers It As The Godfather?

 

Impractical is good in my book. That was one cool car to drive. My dad had been at the races as long as there has been drag races and always talked up the comp coupes. I found the body in the next state over and my dad and I made his last trip before he passed to pick it up. I wish he could have seen it done, but it was enough to se how excited he was about the project. If it ever comes back up for sale, I may have to rob a bank to get it back. (Luckily it ended up with someone who appreciates it as much as we did.)

 

Heres a few pics i came across on a French forum.

 

MIke, I bet you were thinking "how can I get a Full House Merc Flathead in this"...

 

Here Are A Few Of The Trillo Bros. Fiat

 

My buddy Craig who's helping me out w/ the rollbar in the coupe is a race car chassis builder & he is building these......

A nasty pair indeed

 

Who makes those bodies?
