Back in the old days....

Post by DrMike »

....before I had an enclosed trailer, but had two buggies. Mike Mazzone and I whipped this contraption up with a winch and tilt bed to allow both buggies to be trailered.
The mid-engine turbo car has an E-B TRW turbo, Holley 390 suck through, and is reverse rotation on a McDowell transmission. It still goes like scat, but "Old Red" the rear engine buggy was a heap f fun as well.
