Just thought I'd show the "El Cabong" as Ak called the old ******, at work just beyond the corkscrew at Laguna Seca....
From the blog Commissioned by Martin Swig and completed in 2012, the car is powered by a 357ci Oldsmobile Rocket V8 outfitted with a Weiand intake manifold and quadruple Stromberg carburetors that are believed to have been retained by Miller after the original racer was s****ped. https://www.racingsportscars.com/make/archive/Caballo de Hiero.html More vintage pics https://www.hotrod.com/features/the-caballo-comes-back-december-1954-982-1000-14-1
A friend of mine, Al Bradshaw who was manager of the Chrysler Traing Center in St Louis, told me a story about the car catching fire inside Ak's garage and doing it in. Al was working as a mechanic for Ak at the time. Al was also very involved with the Flying Caduceus and the Chrysler turbine car program.
