Title: Augusto Monaco NGC that I'm aware of
Post by: rboe on February 10, 2015, 01:56:51 PM

Blundered across this while looking for something else. I find this car just too cool for words. Maybe I'd change my mind after owning and driving it.

It's hard to wrap my brain around..4liter 16cyl, twin supercharged 2 stroke radial! What a sound this thing must have made.

It looks better up front, but what a huge lead weight in the wrong spot. Needs a big starter battery and a couple Harley pilots on the opposite end to even things out.  ;D
