Check out this amazing 1952 Blastolene Indy Special car at Symbolic Motors in La Jolla. Everything about this car is unique, from the chassis to the polished aluminum skin are all hand formed. This car was designed to emulate the Indy 500 cars racing during the 1950s. It all looks correct until you get to that gigantic engine that is the equivalent of 5 - 350 Chevy engines in displacement! Whenever this thing is started (and there is a procedure to doing this), people come running to see what it is. 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes from a diesel truck, Eaton rear axle, and a solid beam semi front axle. This car has a 160" wheelbase with an overall length of 21.5 feet. The suspension incorporates Monroe shocks with airbags for ride adjustment, and the exhaust exits through exhaust cutouts on both sides of the body (directly under the cockpit).
