Jim----Don't be too hard on these cars. One of them ran 174MPH on the
Salt Flats with nothing more than turbocharging, propane for fuel, and
water injection.   Or so the story goes. (TURBOCHARGERS, by Hugh
MacInnes--HPBooks) 
Once they fixed the swing-arm rear suspension, they weren't all that
bad.  Trouble is they got a bad rap from Nader and his infamous  book
about the early models.
