Here’s something you don’t see very often anymore; an inline eight-cylinder engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorado Hot Rod Hill Climb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This rod is the brainchild & creation of Brian Thomas (here’s a Hot Rod Magazine article on the car<\/a>); it’s a 1930 Model A. Model A rods are pretty common, but what makes this one noteworthy is the supercharged straight-eight engine from a 1948 Packard. It’s interesting to read what went into that engine though; lots of custom work, lots of parts borrowed from other engines… But built like a real hot rod, without a lot of money spent on off-the-shelf parts. It’d be really interesting to find out how much money was spent on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple of videos of the car from the 2017 Hot Rod Hill Climb<\/a> in Central City, Colorado; the first one, of the car starting the hill climb, is pretty short, but gives a good idea of what it sounds like. The second one is longer and from inside the cockpit\/cab. Pretty awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
