Got to see one of the old turbine cars run around the parking lot, way way back when the Nats moved to Indy. Damn thing sounds like a gigantic Kirby. Cool lookin' car, resembles a T bird of the era.

So how come it's not painted 'Hemi Orange'?

It was for a 7th generation turbine engine which was tested in a LeBaron concept car

can anybody ID the transmission it's bolted to ? I wonder what sort of gear set you would need to put it to the wheels ? sure would be cool in my Barracuda , sure wouldn't see another one parked next to you at the show eh !

 

[66340SEDAN]

Pretty dang cool that's for sure! So this is a prototype engine or from a show/test car? Has to hold some history and value

 

[turbofreek]

wonder how hard it would be to make serious power out of it?

 

[mopar head]

Look how high it sets above the trans bell, seems no way that it would fit under a car app hood?
