Spitfire, 1960-’63

Lee Pendleton of Cleveland Ohio used an Allison engine from a P-51 fighter in his dragster. Capable of producing 2700 horsepower, it took Pendleton two years to build. Pendleton added small airplane-type wings mounted in front of the driver’s seat in 1961, boosting its top speed to over 180 mph. In 1963, he built a Spitfire II, also powered by an Allison engine.

I always enjoyed seeing the big Allison powered tractors at the local fair pulling competition.
