The overlap between the young hipster Jeep rock-crawler crowd and the aging hippie Harley-Davidson chopper builders seems to center around a shared distaste for well groomed facial hair. Perhaps, the bigger overlap is on the slow lane in the highway, where they trailer their custom built vehicles to ride/drive them for a few hundred feet and call it a day.
Well, that was a great ride, who wants a Coors light?
This next feature looks to be the by-product of a Jeep builder with some extra Harley engines, or a chopper builder with a spare Jeep. Find this 1978 Jeep with 4 Harley-Davison V-Twins
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
offered for $10,500 buy-it-now located in Arcade, NY.
The seller starts his condition description with the understatement of the century:
“unfinished project.”
This isn’t what you ever want to hear when you’ve got multiple engines connected together, be it 45 degree V-twins,

, or

. The additional time, research, and money cost of mating those engines together can be astronomical, so reading the words
“can drive”
later in the listing is a ray of sunshine on a bleak day.
The heart of this custom is a set of 4 Harley-Davidson Evolution V-Twins engines that are connected via chains to a central driveshaft that is mated to a Turbo 400 transmission and a 4.56 rear end. Each 80 cubic inch V-twin is good for around 50 horsepower when stock, so expect this entire setup to generate 200-300 horsepower depending on state of tune.
The seller was nice enough to point potential buyers to a few videos of the Hogfather running, including

that shows the car driving, drifting, and hooning up/down the street.

I applaud them for building it, even if I don’t understand why they did. The only buyer I could think of would be one of those monolithic Harley dealerships sprinkled all over the Midwest, so they could trot it out for events.
