Any Kurtis connection?

I do not have many details (but the ones I've got are quite impressive!)

1st clue: this car it's been on the cover of at least 1 magazine and ...it's still out there!

Based on a semi truck?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #7 on:** May 20, 2016, 05:37:53 AM »

I don't think so.

Is it propelled by 24 cylinders?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #9 on:** May 20, 2016, 10:46:16 AM »

..more than 24.

Hiawatha · « **Reply #10 on:** May 20, 2016, 11:02:51 AM »

Four eight cylinder motors?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #11 on:** May 20, 2016, 01:02:51 PM »

Exactly!

Pros?

Was it built in the sixties ?

D-type · « **Reply #15 on:** May 29, 2016, 05:17:56 PM »

An early version of Mickey Thompson's Challenger ?

Not the sixties.

Nothing to do with that.

oko94 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 30, 2016, 12:55:21 PM »

Built between 1955 and 1960 ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2016, 03:49:27 PM »

oko94 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 30, 2016, 04:40:00 PM »

1957 ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** May 30, 2016, 04:42:49 PM »

One source says '57, another '59. It was on the cover of a magazine from 1960.

oko94 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 30, 2016, 04:43:51 PM »

Was it on the cover of a hot rod/custom magazine ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #22 on:** May 30, 2016, 04:48:57 PM »

Yes!
I edited my previous reply...I'm telling you because I did it even if there will be no edit marks on my post...sometimes it happens (usually when you modify it within 1 minute).

oko94 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 31, 2016, 03:26:37 AM »

Is there a picture of the car on the cover of the magazine, or only its name ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #24 on:** May 31, 2016, 05:53:24 AM »

A nice big pic of it...and if you are looking for the right month, you can start from the beginning, but if you start from the end of the year you'll find it slightly before.
