Fabulous suspension. Wonderful Injun. If it weren't for the broken cooling fin I'd be all in.  R3~

Wow, ONE driven rear wheel, I'll bet that makes for some interesting acrobatics on a circle track .... !

There used to be a class of these things that used the thousands of Maytag washer engines that were laying around after electricity came in everywhere ....

It's a 741 ex-army motor. A friend as a midget racer that's almost identical to this one. Believe it or not, $8k isn't completely out of line.
Show me a Le Mans IV and I'll show you a Le Mans 1000.
