One of the plagues in the bible will lead you to the builder of a hopped up version of this particular insect car..which in turn; will lead to this car.

Not that I know of. I can say that the Locust.that leads to this car..is powered by a motorcycle engine. I can give no more clues..other than to say you can also pull this car up..by googling a year & 3 other words(r h b)(the r stands for a car make). I will wait for a confirmation photo as well as the information I have requested on this car. This car is pretty cool & innovative..as you shall see.

I do not have a specific name for this car(please see the clues I have given). I shall wait for a confirmation photo & the information I have requested on this car. This is definately a puzzle car point that you want to have on your autopuzzles resume.

Forgive me but I'm not very good when it comes to using search engines on the internet.
Could the base car be a Ryder (the company I believe acquired Pelland)?
