That is so cool.... thanks for sharing

BTW the wording on the Bayonet "BAHN FREI" is not the maker

its German, the ruff meaning " LOOK OUT "

At that price I'll take two. Will they accept a personal check?

Very, very cool offering.

Why, OH WHY is it. Every time something really GREAT comes available, my Piggy Bank is ........ EMPTY??? and:

If only it were Central Fire. I could, I suppose, shake one loose from the Girls at Taylor's (a .45) and set it up for C45S, make some
bayonet mounts, get someone to copy the Pig Sticker, and go marching up the block singing beer drinking songs ..... like .......
Bang Bang Lulu, Lulu Bang Bang ........... the rest is unsuitable for mix'd company .......

Coffinmaker, sometimes I think that if you owned Julius Caesar's chariot you'd try to drop a Chevy small block into it.

Won't fit. I tried.

YeAH ! cool ....4 Horse Power vs 400...who wouldn't want that ? .....bitch'n'' and "lake pipes" , gotta have lake pipes.

Well ......... actually, hanging a 454 Bowtie off the front isn't the main consideration. It's steering. Steering is the big stumbling block.
There is no front wheel for steering. But WAIT!!! It is DOABLE!!!

Differential steering. Get the thing balanced, with a hand break to each wheel, an open carrier differential and steer it with hand levers.

Hummmmmmmmm..............

Actually ...sorta I had Road Racing Pinto I'd run in both IMSA & SCCA road races with it ...

It had 2.3 liter inline 4 rated @ 280 HP with Weber Carburation.... Plenty quick in 1974

How 'bout you 40R ?

Seems to me you spoke of a hot Fairmount ?

Good Troy · « **Reply #13 on:** July 19, 2016, 11:30:30 AM »

Figured you guys were hot rodders at some point!
Me...I had a stock vehicle....a '67 Charger, with a 440 ci engine. Speedo went to 150 mph, and I think it could have done it, or close to it...seems like I broke 120 mph with it once, on HWY 29 out past Cantoment, FL. The steering felt a little loose, so I backed off. It had a 727 Torqueflight transmission. It would "bark" the tires when shifing...even from 2nd to 3rd gear, at well over 50 mph. Too much trouble to take to college with me, so I inherited the old family car, a '73 Thunderbird with a 460 ci engine. My dad sold the Dodge while I was away at Auburn...sometimes I miss that car...or is it just that I miss being a teenager again?

I owned a Pinto, or the Ford "Toastamatic" as they were called back in the day.

DJ · « **Reply #15 on:** July 20, 2016, 08:25:23 AM »

Ford Pinto = "Chariots of Fire" But at least they didn't have to steer using hand brakes.

Ford is bringing the Pinto back, relabeled as the Hindenburg

What?

It was TOO funny..

In my callow youth I actually held an iron frame Henry in my hand, had no clue as to what it was and passed it up for $20.

Now, car guys, hate me because a long while after that (in my 20's) I owned and drove an XK 140 MC roadster body Jaguar car wire wheels and knock on hubs bought new with 10 miles on the odometer. Traded a 2 door Pontiac and about $3000 for it.

Hate you ?...no .... understand absolutely ....

GT asked specifically.... Vega or Pinto ?

Truth be known, the Pinto was the only domestic

venture into my IMSA/SCCA road racing youth.

MG's , Triumphs , Porsche, & Mazda were other makes I drove...
