Crazy mill 'shoehorns'

I just watched them 'drive' this car on the SPEED Channel.. not really HAMB friendly.. but i don't even know where this thing belongs.

The sound of it firing up would be something to hear for sure, and for a WWII buff like myself I gotta say I am impressed. I'm sure some have seen it before..

this one ain't hambfriendly either, but whatehell... i think it's cool

 

Can't have this conversation without including Big Al...









We've all seen these shots, but man, what a car. HAMB friendly too.

 

Big A -> holy shit..any recent pics of it, is it still around? Any other info?

 

I don't know much about it, but I'd love to see it in person (preferrably at speed). Allison engine (12 or 24 cyl?) from a P-51 Mustang. I think it went through a couple of incarnations, I do know it went from the original steel to a fibreglass body, but that's where my knowledge stops.

 

Here is a picture I found in Cars magazine, July 1960.

 

Is he running the power to the wheels off the accessory side of the motor? It looks like it from here, but that's a fuzzy picture and my monitor's nearly old enough to be HAMB friendly...

Not "HAMB friendly" maybe but I just LOVE the sound of this thing!! Rover V8 in a Mini. (Not the fake one they make now either!!). Tight fit? Oh yeah!!
