I love it! some work went into that! Never have to worry about a defroster!
I wonder what type of reduction gearing is in it??
it should top out at MORE than 125?

Too Cool!
I've emailed the guy for a viewing. If I can get a chance to see it next weekend (none of you guys buy it before then
) I'll do a full report on it.

Three Wheelin'
I saw one of these come thru Knoxville in 1964 when Chrysler was doing cross country test. This was before the interstate was finished and Hwy 11/70/25 came right thru the middle of town. You knew it was no V8 you were hearing.

I like how he states " use to be new". Theres nothing like stating the obvious. Its a shame he didn't bother to clean the car up before putting it up for sale. I think this could be a really cool addition to someones collection. Heinrich, you should add it to your fleet. No timing belt worries with this one.

Adam see if you can get a ride in it also? Jet engines do have "spool up" time (lag). Id be curious to see how it performs in everyday drving.
