From the California Melee mailing list -“For those interested in upgraded insanity there was the Turbonique DragAxle, which appeared to be a center section for a quick changedifferential - but with a mutant spaceship tumor growing from its hinder.That tumor was, in fact, a rocket engine providing direct drive to therear axle. When not in use, the car would drive under conventional powerthrough the front drive shaft. When the driver hit the “panic button,” therear mounted rocket would immediately engage and begin channeling OneThousand Three Hundred Thermolene-addled rocket horsepower to the rearskins. All this despite weighing a scant 100 pounds. It was advised thatthe driver keep his thumb on the switch during operation since, having noclutch or fuel metering, the only way to control acceleration was byshutting off the fuel supply.”Were any of these actually sold? If so, did they work and where can I get one?

I’m feeling a little ill today. This is a sad day to be a car guy.

Project Red Menace begins…

I’ve owned this car since 1998, and quite honestly I really haven’t done anything with it. The original intent of the car was to go vintage racing, but my plans were diverted by the idea that I should go race the heavy iron, Mustangs with NASA’s American Iron series. This led to a stint working in the Mustang racing business, and the car just sat.
Well, my mom sold her house last week, and I needed to find a new place to stash this car, so I decided that it’s finally time to actually do something with it. To me, there are few cars that are more beautiful than the Type 105 Bertone coupes, and we’re going to do this car right.
Tonight was project management. My friend who is handling the restoration/modification and I are planning on building the car into a road-going GTA replica, including as much aluminium bits as I can afford. The target completion date is March 2010. Updates will be posted as they happen.
