The Great Race 2007: 1964 Peterbuilt Hotrod

[seanbateman7]

@SpecialAndNotDumb haha don't be jelly man... I happened to read an article about this hotrod, and I looked it up on youtube out of curiosity, I believe what I posted is a copy pasta.

[seanbateman7]

"Sneaky Pete" started out as a 1964 Peterbilt tractor. Rucker stretched the frame and installed a 1794-cubic- inch 12-cylinder engine from a 1951 M47 Patton tank, akin to the one in Leno's giant rod.

[SpecialAndNotDumb]

@seanbateman7 Nobody likes a know it all

[TheKossmoAnastoria]

Dear Santa....

[ChadManners]

How"s for a hot rod bulldozer or steam-roller!

[butlerproman]

Why was this recorded in B&W? It's the 21st century, dammit.

[jfellowskats]

NOw that's 1 radical Ride !

[teothedemon]

wow, for a 1964 video this is actually great quality!

I mean damn i would think you just made it black and white but then i would be lieing.... Great hotrod!! Peterbuilt always knew how to make things cool!

[superpeapod]

@teothedemon ummthe videos from 2007. the truck is from 1964...

[Megaloryan]

Where can i get one?!?!

[xeeweexRC]

it's (sniffle) beautiful

[MrAwesomeSkittles]

Sorry, but i dont like it. I'd rather have a Peterbilt 379 extended hood with a 650 CAT 18 sp double over drive.

[1912fld]

this is wayyyyyyy cool! thanks for posting

[kondratov]

power is nothing without control, said someone

[licensedhobo]

thats cool

[bigjaw1]

I really want that, it's strangely beautiful.

[Liozeris]

@bigjaw1 -- Strange beauty is fine beauty. Until. You git scared.

[turboshadow89]

That's the same engine as jay leno's tank car, still in non-turbo carbureted form. It's a SOHC gasoline engine, called the AV-1790

[SanFran90]

Peterbilt+hotrod=awesomesauce :-).

[alexander1485]

I thought cars (or trucks?) can't enter the great race if its newer than 1959?

[louswire]

ShWEET!!!!

[HeadTater]

That's just wrongity wrong.

Freakin' awesome!

[hovanti]

I wonder if it has a jake brake...

[f100swb]

It's not diesel, of course it doesn't

[hovanti]

My error...

[theninja001]

it IS a diesel dude.

[f100swb]

It's got triple carbs on it... Diesels don't have carbs....

[theninja001]

it has a Patton tank engine in it, a Continental V-12 air cooled DIESEL engine....

[f100swb]

I suggest you do a bit more research, V12, yes, air cooled, yes, Diesel, no. 6.5:1 compression and magneto ignition do not a diesel make.

[scott93257]

@theninja001

Those are sweet too...Air cooled V12...What a Monster...

[Skoda130]

It has three air filters. In do not see any carbs specifically.

[BassPlayer121692]

@f100swb my thoughts exactly... wtf?

[scott93257]

@f100swb

Probably triple turbos

[firesquare16]

@f100swb before fuel injection, their were carburetors...

[f100swb]

@firesquare16 No doubt... Check my videos... You'll see that I own such things... However, a diesel and a carburetor do not go together.

[cobra96svt570]

@f100swb i dont think its diesel, it sounds like a giant old v12 gas engine. look at the rocker boxes. Like a liberty v12 plane engine or somtin.

[peepeevagi]

Now that's how it's done.

[itsthejambo]

bollox

[gst69man]

did leno buy it yet?

[hamslice15164]

no! he's not retarded.

[niswel]

bizzare

[turboshadow89]

I can't believe that thing was only 15 minutes away from me and I didn't know it. I live for sick shit like that!

[tpvalley]

Is that a petrol engine?!!

[Derporsche]

Summer of 06' I was driving back to Ky. with a 928GT I'd just bought in Mesa....Took some pictures of this truck without decals in Winslow, Arizona.... An older hippie type gentlemen was polishing the front wheels on it... He said it had a Continental tank engine in it... He also said there were two more similar to it built by the same guy....

I wanted to ask him to fire it up, but didn't want to be too much of a pest... Cool Truck though....

[ford1979truck]

[wwalker123]

100 gallons of fuel an hour.....thats impressive

very cool

[ottocars]

verry cool.

[kblackav8or]

Couple of things. There was no such thing as a 359 in 1964. It may have some 351 in it. The grill looks to be 1940's Pete which is pretty cool.

[hinspere]

kewl... Someone close to where l live built an older mack truck like that.. he drives it with a custom built camper trailer behind

[CWOSNUK]

Sneaky Pete!! Just read an article on it in the Aug.13 issue of AutoWeek. One bad truck. It's got an aluminum v12 tank motor!! 1000HP!!

[Hiei2k7]

Bet that could pull steel up a 10% grade at 80 MPH

[madimic01]

[Rikken664]

[madimic01]

Do you know the name of that truck? Or who owns it.
