Just an idea, what do you think?

 

Last year, at the Portland Hot Rod Show, there were TWO rotary powered hot rods. Neither were Rat Rods, by any stretch of the imagination, but it was nice to see some representation. I think it would be pretty cool. A lot of the low-budget RX-7 stuff is already considered a Rat Rod revival thing...it would be nice to see a classic Rat Rod, like the one pictured, with a rotary. I think the cops would be much more forgiving and probably easier to register, too.

 

The guy with the two rotary hot rods is Don Story... He owns a machine shop here in tri-cities. The same guy that painted my car painted his black bantom, I have never seen his other car...

 

I think that if you went with a rotary you would have to go with a P-port...gotta preserve a little bit of the sound.

 

I would like to meet this Don Story guy.

 

Me too

 

Pics would be great of the RexRods!

 

I just thought they were light in weight, rough to the eye, and just a blast to scream around in. I was thinking of doing some thing more retro with my Rx2 or RX3, but it still would not have the attitude.

 

I have a 65 barracuda in my brothers garage.. Its dieing for a TT 20B.. When I look at Dagsters I see a 4 rotor .. What if we custom built a 6 litre 4 rotor with twins.. I'm sure we'ed blow the doors off of top alcohol v8's > A little insight in my future...

 

Good luck getting 1000HP per liter out of a rotary.

 

No problem... a little bit of urainum and a couple megatons of boost should do it!

 

Any car made before the late sixties makes me want to throw up, but then again i'm 20.

 

I always thought that a 65' mustang with a tri-rotary would be the coolest ride

 

There was one early Mustang with a rotary. I think it's when Ford was getting their hands dirty in the rotary game some time in the late '60s or early '70s.

 

one of those with just 12a in it would be fun as sin to ride around in!
(but I just like the 12a for reliability purposes)

 

Chevy also expirimented with the rotary. They were going to release 4 rotor and 2 rotor versions of the Vette. Too bad they hadn't!

 

yea 4 rotor corvette I think thats the only way I would own one...but chevy is shitty as always

I've wanted to put a 20B PP in a '32 Ford for the past 15 years!
