Did you ever get to see the "Michagan Madman" on the drag circuit about
30 years ago? Besides having a 327ci Chevy powered Harley, he also had a
1958 Plymouth 4 dr. sedan with a Rolls Royce Merlin engine out of a P-51.
The reason for the 4 doors, was the engine took up so much room in the
front, he had to drive from the back seat!
