This roadster was originally built in 1937 by Sandy Belond and Sam Hanks to race on the SoCal dry lakes. My friends always kid me saying it isn't authentic until you run like he did on nitro; Cheers guys, 58% Methanol 20% Nitro 20% Gas 2% castro oil. This fuel made it possible for Belond to run 125.854 mph in 1942 at a REVS meet held at Muroc; argueably the fastest speed ever by a pre-war hot rod roadster.

  • sounds great you gonna run it?

  • HERE CHEVY, CHEVY . YES TAKE MORE OF THE ENGINE

  • Imagine the sound of a couple of hundred of these running in the pit area at El Mirage or Muroc in the 1940's.. Amazing !!! This also reminds me of the sound you hear when you go to a steam show and walk down the isle with hit and miss engines all running together. Music for the ages, or is that aged? I'm an old fart if you haven't guessed.

  • Bitchin!

  • I want to see more ! !!!! looks faster than my truck

  • Nice!

  • Oh Holy Hell......Mmmm....I just wet myself!

  • Jesus Christ man!! Totally over the top!!! How about a driving vid?
