It will sell in a few hours on ebay, but hopefully the engine noise video will be on youtube for a while. Kind of cool.

For sale. Listed on bringatrailer.com

Glad you liked it, It sold for at least $25,600 on Ebay.

Wah Bah!!! McColloch type centrifugal supercharger in 1959. 1959!!!!! Outstanding. Love your pictures. I had no idea, just that you mentioned Model As or Bs and flathead motors when we all had dinner at the place with the Model A in the rafters. Now Google can add your pictures to Google images - currently a wonderful big bunch of images under a search for - Mccolloch centrifugal supercharger.

Pinky, Stick with the Mustang. That thing is trouble. Two 97's cant feed that huge (GM 6-71?) enough air. If it could it would peel those skinny tires on the way to wrapping up that split wishbone open driveline. It does not take a huge amount of torque to bend the wishbone arms. I learned that 55 years ago building a '31 Hudson with an Olds V-8 and that same Ford rear setup.
BUT it sure sounds great in the video!! And what the heck, its all about fun.

looks like a GM 471 to me, not long enough to be a GM 671 also it may not have any rotors in it, watch the vac/pres gauge, no pressure just vac

Very cool Scott. Here is how my father did it in '59 and how we rebuilt it on my father's engine.

Just wondering how rat rods relate to EC12s?

Enjoy this while you can, because it will come down soon. Thanks

Maybe because they both can consume ridiculous amounts of time and money, cause tons of frustration and heartache when they dont perform properly, and can cause you to make great friendships with people you would not normally have met from all around the country and world (cant forget Chris down in NZ).

I should pursue a career in lobbying....but them people are evil.
