A Poor-man's Bentley

[Chuck Most]

One of these days if I get really ambitious, I'd like to try modeling this one in 1:25 scale

I opened this thinking I was going to see a newer Chrysler 300........in Milwaukee it is referred to as the ghetto Bentley so I've heard.

Your topic is so much better!!

I've always loved the big ol' "blower Bentleys" and I remember when they were relatively cheap...and I aspired to owning one someday. Now, with the cars in the multi-million dollar range, that's no longer a possibility.

This post has given me inspiration though, as it's entirely possible to build something very much like this...using, say, a pair of pickup truck frame rails, a big Jag inline six, and relatively simple bodywork. Even the supercharger as shown on this car could be built up from oval-case GMC bits.

Ground-pounding, British-junk-based hot-rod, anyone ??
