I don't have any pictures of it, but Cycle Guide in the late 70's did an article on a trike built by a guy who started by placing an Allison 12 cyl. P-51 Mustang engine on blocks. Then he built the trike around it.

I remember it looked way cool. At the time of the article, it was complete, but no one had as yet found the juevos :-[ ???to fire it up and ride it. I never did find out if anyone rode the thing. We're talking over 1200 HP here . That would take a serious set of stones.

I agree. If anyone knows history on this, I would like to see it.

Looks like it could be a prototype for Indian. Just a thought.

The Dodge Tomahawk would have to make the top 10.

Either that or a seriously deficient brain. Oh wait, they are the same thing.
