Jim Khougaz turned 212.76 mph in this D-modified Roadster at Bonneville in 1957. The rear-mounted engine was a bored and stroked Chrysler Firepower Hemi with eight carburetors on a Crower U Manifold. It developed 514-bhp on Nitro-Methane at 5700 RPM. The space frame chassis was said by Hot Rod magazine to do credit to a Indy car, and was made of Chrome Moly tubing with a built in roll bar. After turning even greater speeds in 1958, Khougaz broke an axle and the car flipped over. He received a few arm burns, but survived to tell the tale. After that the car was stored for decades, complete with it 8 carburetors and the salt from the Bonneville rollover. Return to Hotrodsonline.com Return to Virtual Rod Run
