    I bought this thing at an auction today,paid a lil more then I wanted and I`m not even sure what to do with it....but isn`t it kool???

    It is setup to use a horizontal shaft engine,like a 5hp Briggs or similar.

    Anyone seen anything like it before??

    It`s about 15-feet long overall,and about 4-feet wide in the rear.

    Before you ask,it`ll prolly find it`s way into the classifieds eventually.

    Looks a little too wimpy even for this, but this was my first thought:

    How many miles per hour would you guess those bicycle wheels/tires are good for?!?!?

    A very cool car. I wonder if it was a high school shop project or something... It would be cool just hanging from the ceiling in the shop!

    Yes, I believe that one is out of a hydroplane, judging by the rear motor plate. They were very popular in the lower c.i. classes, back in the day.
