Sportster powered car!!

I heard then seen this odd critter crossing the parking lot at St. Joe Harley during an event I was attending. So I had to go investigate. Then I had to video it thinking I would never see something like this again for quit a wile. So here you have it.

Wonder how much it weighs and how fast it is?

@mengle2004 Sorry. The owner was inside and I was not able to get in touch with him before he left.

@slapleatheru3 A 1200 Sportster puts out about 60 horsepower so I suspect it is underpowered. Probably about the same horsepower of the original car. It is an awesome idea though. Twin Sportster engines or maybe a big inch S&S engine to get the horsepower up would be awesome.

@mengle2004 True But one can stroker kit a sportster engine as far as a 106 cubic inch 1750 + cubic centimeter. Replace the transmission and clutch to match. Or even have 6 speeds. And still have a small size powerhouse.

It is a car made from a Harley Davidson 1200cc 5 speed transmission Sportster motorcycle power unit. It is air cooled. You can see the air fins when I pan under the hood.
