Where do we begin with thisthing? It started out as an ordinary 1952 Buick Super Riviera Coupe, before a man called Jeff Brock (a sculptor by trade, unsurprisingly) dragged it from the Arizona sawmill in which it sat in 2009 and turned it into this a six-time class winner at Bonneville. In 2013 the Bombshell Betty" hit 165.735mph, which is quite rapid. The engine is a bored out straight-eight with many go-faster bits, all of which are detailed in the classified ad". Yep, if you hadn"t already guessed, this thing"s for sale. The seller wants $195,000, which in today"s money is bang on 147K. Audi R8 money, that.
