Does anyone else remember this build? I was traveling through the depths of YouTube and came across this gem again. Saw this back when it was finished, still amazing.

Think this could de-throne Larry Larson if it could handle Drag Week?

Love aero-engined cars, I remember that car. RIP Ton Hnatiw, he was fun to watch. A Merlin engined, wood-bodied 1928 Rolls Speedster sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in January 2015, for a paltry $121,000. The engine alone has to be worth that and probably more. The listing only claims 650 hp, which seems low, maybe it’s not supercharged.

You should look up unlimited modified pulling tractors. Every once and a while you'll see one with two of these engines. Saw one pull in person, amazing.
