Man I love eBay.... Check it out: This beast is not for the faint of heart. It's a 1921 LaFrance firetruck chassis, with a 1918 6-cylinder engine, titled as a 1915 vehicle. Wow! Just in time for Christmas. Who wouldn't love to wake up and see this vintage speedster under the tree? I can't imagine what this monster is like to drive. It's a 820 cu in engine good for 105 bhp! By comparison, my Buick is only 224 cu in and about 45 bhp. How absolutely terrifying!!! The Buy It Now price is $149,900, so I'm pretty sure Mrs. Claus won't be getting me this for Christmas - probably just as well. . . For anyone interested, the eBay item number is 200416005235 and you have until Dec 18th 17:07:36 PST to bid. If you buy this car, let me know. I'd love to see it in person. Tom, good luck - my hats off to you, VERY cool car! PS- JeanAnn, I was only kidding.... :-)
