Tucker Torpedo just sold for 2.7 million dollars. Amazing the car that never got off the ground is worth more then most Ferrari's

@67ShelbyMustang500 Correction, out of 51 built (excluding an uncompleted individual)

wow just one of twelve built
-
the helicopter sound is because tucker used 6 cylinder opposing shaft helicopter engines for his car, they were surplus engines. he modified them from air cooled to water cooled and from carbureted to fuel injected. the tucker car could not back up under its own power as he used 2 torque converters to drive the car rather than a transmission like other cars used.

My grandpap says "piece of junk"
Very near to CZECH Tatra Streamline V8 cars of that time...both CZECH Tatra and Tucker were MILES ahead of their time
