Ive forgotten who this was.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Greg, that's the Jazzy Nelson semi-resto, semi-re-creation "Outlaw".

Here's another flathead twin.

Wow! That's a looker Bill. Thanks for joining the fun Glenn.

[Greg Myers]

Flathead Jack ?

[Greg Myers]

an oldie

[Ace-Garageguy]

Glenn, the twin Ford DOHC Indy-engine dragster is credited to Jim Busby.

Greg, I've never seen that oldie before, but it looks to be the 1:1 prototype for one of the possible build options in the old AMT double-dragster kit with the Potvin-style blower drives and the dropped-center frame.

Aha...it's the Dragmaster "Two-Thing".

Here's another flathead relic...

[DrKerry]

why does it look like the front motor isn't running?

It's running at idle, both injectors are open just a tad, maybe backing up after burn out?!

[Scale-Master]

Maybe the front engine is not running, but the linkages for both engines throttles would still work on both engines. Just speculating.

I gotta say this would be an interesting build, whether it's real or photoshopped.

It's (was) a real car. Here's another shot of it nekkid...

And one with the body on...

[Ace-Garageguy]

That can't be real. No way to steer !!! Good pic though haha

It most likely would have steered the same way Tommy Ivo's Showboat did...the forward axles, universals and hubs were heavy-duty 4WD, front-axle components. It was a REAL car.

[Greg Myers]

and the most famous one (two) of all WOW! Look, two of everything.

[Brett Barrow]

It ain't a dragster, but I always thought this was pretty wild....

[Ace-Garageguy]

Yeah, the Hairy Olds is probably the most instantly recognizable and familiar of all the multi-engined cars...even to generations of guys who never saw any of them run.

[Greg Myers]

and it's got TWO motors ! a real Twofer.

[Rob Hall]

Monogram did a neat kit of that car.

[LDO]

I wish I could find more pictures of this one

[DonW]

Not a dragster either, this one was supposed to go round corners too! Built to compete with the Silver Arrows Mercedes and Auto Union GP cars in 1935, even Nuvolari couldn't make it work. 2 supercharged twin overhead cam straight eights, both driving the rear wheels via a central diff and 2 propshafts. 540 bhp. One did record a flying 1/4 mile at 208mph but altogether two wasn't better than one this time!

[Jantrix]

why does it look like the front motor isn't running?

It doesn't kick in until 88 mph.

It doesn't kick in until 88 mph.

Or the driver hadn't pressed the Mad Max "engage supercharger" button...

[Greg Myers]

now that's odd

[Scale-Master]

now that's odd

Early Hybrid?
