What about the three Chitty Bang Bangs and the Higham Special?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I love them too, so I have made a list of road legal aero, tank and fire truck engined cars that I know:.

Bentley aero-engined by Bob Petersen
Bentley Merlin Special   
Blastolene B-702   
Blastolene Big Bertha   
Blastolene Indy Special
Blastolene Special
Chevrolet Bel-Air by Castlemaine Rod Shop
Cramer Comet Allison engined
Delage-Hispano-Suiza
Gary Wales La Bestiali
Gary Wales Van Berck
Jameson Merlin   
Jameson MKII   
John Dodd The Beast   
John Dodd The Beast II
Both the same car. And it was originally the Jameson Mk I, but it was only a rolling chassis when John Dodd bought it.
John Ould Hispano aero-engined   
Opel GT aero-engined   
Pur Sang 12 liters   
Rodzilla
Rolls-Royce 1927 aero-engined
Rover SD1 aero-engined   
Royce-Hispano   
Spitfire Special   
Swendean Spitfire   

What about the three Chitty Bang Bangs and the Higham Special?

And there was too the White Triplex Special "Spirit of Elkdom" but, as a record car, I doubt it would be street legal. But still a rather amazing piece of machinery (as dangerous as it could be...).
Oh, and there's too the Monaco-Trossi, a FWD radial-engined racing car!

Wasn't the Mohs Ostentatienne Opera powered by a fire truck engine?

It had an international Harvester V8, as I understand it.
