I gotta admit, reading about it several years ago when the car came up for auction sparked my desire to someday own a FE, 4-speed, '64 galaxie 500 xl (fastback, bucket seats). In black, of course. Probably won't have the jet turbine, though

It doesn't burn hydrazine, but I still wouldn't want any kind of monopropellant in something that gets driven on the streets. They also completely outstripped the grip of the tires that were available back then.

Roadkill.com posted a somewhat-inspired-by-Stranger-Things list of cars from the 80s that are less than $5k. Worth the click for the images of old adverts if nothing else.

Roadkill "gets" me so well that it makes me wonder why we even have other car magazines: quote:Hailing from a rural Midwestern town originally, this author is familiar with pickup-truck culture; as a result, rather than pick one truck, we know how this works: You’re a fan of the 1980s offerings from one of the Big Three and nothing will convince you otherwise.

So how does this madness actually propel the car? Does it turn the wheels or is it just rocket propulsion?

Yes! The turbine is attached to the ring gear and the nozzle adds rocket exhaust.

The thing I've never been able to understand is how you're supposed to do throttle control with those. There seems to be no provision for a throttle cable although maybe that's what the vacuum hose is for.

I'm not sure they concerned themselves with petty mortal concepts like "throttle control" or "operator safety" or "not exploding".

I'd love it but I think the knowledge isn't there. The idea of tuning up a Lancia Beta would just leave people scratching their heads.

Freiburger has talked about wanting to do smaller engines, 4-cylinder stuff. But they just tend to fall back to V8s and the odd V6, because that's what they know best. Episode 55 will have an inline-6, though.

Roadkill needs to do a world tour and build stuff up from cars native (ish) to those countries.

Reminder: Though yeah, they should go to some eastern block countries and try to stick a V8 into a Lada or something.

That doesn't count, because it has a chevy engine with a ford turbo in it. Besides, only 40% of the car's bodywork is left, anyway, so it's less than half a japanese car.
