FORDSVTPARTS Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I haven't posted anything new in a while and as is typical for me it's only about 90% done, I just couldn't wait to post it. I'm not even sure what to classify it as but it's name fits. The idea is that the car was born out of the ashes of post war Germany and built from the remains of what could be found which obviously included the Allison V-12 from a downed P-51 Mustang. It's built in similar fashion to the old prewar hillclimbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 A beautiful sacrilege that can only exist in the mind and hands of a car modeler! Great build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 This is really cool. This I would like to see in a hillclimb. These are the kind of cars I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Goschke Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Cool idea and a great build! As a recovering aircraft builder though I have to point out that the downed Mustang would've more likely had a Packard-built Rolls Royce Merlin. Maybe the Allison came out of downed a P-38!

You are correct sir, A P-38 would be a more likely donor. That or an early Mustang/Apache or P-40 although I'm not sure how much service the P-40 saw in Europe.

Raul_Perez Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Very cool torque twisting hotrod!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Not a hot rod you see every day....pretty crazy and different idea....this is what our hobby is all about.....the classic line.."What if". What if you took this engine, with this chassis and that body with this color. Very cool, I like the Dualie rear tire setup. And of course the Allison engine is nutz.
