I found a propane powered 1st gen on e-bay, anyone think the propane idea is a good one?

No !!! Look at the front part of the body. It looks to already have had a fire.

I gotta agree with Manny, the plastic on the front end look melted, like they don't even fit right anymore. And why in god's name would you go through all that trouble to get 250-275 hp out of the motor? He could've saved a fortune by adding the Camden supercharger from Atkins Rotary and still gotten into that hp range.

 

if that ****** was painted nicely it wouldnt look half bad from the outside.

 

man that is nappy looking. those propane tanks look scary. i would be afraid to drive around with those.

 

my fav thing abt it is the ductape holdin broked stryofoam to "secure" the lpg tanks...it dont get much safer than that....

i wonder if he would charge extra for a bit more ductape....

 

Yes I know the car looks scary but it has never been on fire. It's just a bad paint job.

The front end looks weird because the previous owner shortened it for unknown reasons (probably just for a different look) and put a different air dam on it.

That styrofoam is just for sound deadening, the tanks are securely attached.

I kinda like it.If the body kit had some work done on it and the car had paint job it would probably look pretty good.

 

Why all the trouble for that hp???? What is the benifit of it????

Thanks,

Don't know, I didn't build it. Propane is 110 octane, so it's safer to turn up the boost. Also starts right up (no flooding) and it used to be smog exempt in CA which is one of the main reasons the original owner did the conversion.

Anyway, I'm parting the car out. See my ad in the parts FS section if interested in anything.

I think I remember seeing that catlog from rotary engineering for that motor. I was like, say what?
