This Mad Max-like appearance is perhaps the bruutste occasion that this year is going to see.

It is a design of Jeff Brock, Bombshell Betty in 2009, the world showed. The car was designed to achieve in the XO class to establish (pre-’59 six-in-line and achtcilinders, as well as non-Ford flathead V8 engines) on the Bonneville salt flats. That was also, six times to be precise. The last time was in 2013 when a speed of 165.735 MPH was achieved, about 267 miles per hour.

Betty is basically a Buick Riviera from 1952 (seems a bit), but that base is hardly preserved. The engine is from a Buick Roadmaster 1950 (seems a bit) and consists of eight cylinders, which when added together have a volume of 5.2 liters. These throws are power through a Borg Warner T10 manual gearbox with four gears to the rear wheels.

Lovers will be in appearance maybe a Chevy Of recognize. That may well be correct, because the front had indeed come from. The rear is from a Ford Thunderbird. Everything added together we come up on an unhealthy high-dose of awesome.

The asking price? $195.000$. Bargain, right? Video of the beast in motion is here to view.
