NMNA

I thought this was cool.

The PEPU formally known as REPU

Lol. It's like a drag boat with wheels.

I think that "Rotary Power" stick is trickery...

I like it more than I thought I would, but would rather have an original REPU than that.

I wonder what is currently under the hood? Battery, spare tire and misc. storage?

Gas tank.

I have to wonder just how bad it's handling is. Cataclysmic or simply terrible?

Probably just terrible. It isn't all the way in the back like some sort of German contraption...

Whats under the hood

In reply to KyAllroad:

It's got 40 year old truck front suspension, modified Corvair rear suspension, and a big nasty V8 in the wrong place. I'd say it's probably somewhere between "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and "Here, take the keys. I'll walk."

I bet you're right.

I mean I would have to think there are better wheelie vehicles out there, but I guess he worked with what he had.

What a shame. It looks like it was a solid truck to start with. Makes mine more rare I suppose.

OK, let's look at the REPU moniker here. This thing is neither R, nor PU any longer. Time for re-name. Let's see, if 13B is still in there, it could be Mid-engined Rusty Dual Engined, or MERDE, for short.

MERDE just about covers it
