it's a window into that time period, but i wouldn't call it "cool" looking.. "functionally fugly" is a better way to describe it..

Reminds me of a single seater version of the Sam-I-Am car:
In reply to bentwrench: 600 plus cubic inch 4 cylinder pushrod. It would do 100 mph. It had no front brakes.
I love it. Now i just need some dimension to build a cycle cart.

I would sell my 1st born for that car
that's one helluva lump there
