You could see him smiling in that helmet lol!!! Yessssss!!! Now that's living! Welllll done sir đ Such a beautiful machine.

What an amazing piece of machinery that was never designed to go that fast. Pure sound and just freaking amazing. I know I'm years behind here but I can't get enough of this.

This is riveting, even for those of us who know so little about Bonneville world-records...perhaps even more riveting for those of us who know so little! Exceptional.

One of the most rock & roll videos ever. Love that sound & I love seeing old iron surviving its limits & emerging on the other side a record holder. Thatâs one pissed off straight 8

I was there,to me this was one outstanding package! I could not keep myself from going back for another look. This is a awesome machine that is a REAL example of what salt racing is all about. THEY NAILED IT!!!!!Â
-
Too much!!! Just hearing the roar of that old engine and watching the track out ahead from an inside view gave me severe goosebumps!
-
I have seen this car on the HAMB and now I'm even more impressed. That engine sound is awesome !!

My dad had a 1951 Buick special, I learned to drive a lot on that machine. They were big beasts of the road. They rode like your axâs was sitting in butter. Still got 18+ mpg on the highway. But, my dad had Ford blood, so I never got to chase a girl around those big seats, and the Buick was gone in short order. But, what a car, Iâll never forget that car! Great video, thanks for sharing!

Lovely looking vehicle. Radical and purposeful. Well done!

jagger -- get over yourself mate. if they wanted to break the sound barrier, or go ludicrous speed, they not only would've chosen a different powerplant, but a different chassis as well. it was never their intent to be the fastest on the planet. the point was to take an unlikely 50+ year old engine and push its limits to see what they could accomplish. fastest is not always the best. the ability to engineer something for a purpose other than what it was intended for is what makes the world go round. i applaud these innovators, and the gear heads from generations past setting speed records with what other people called "junk." the world needs more folks like this in it.

World record for the fastest self propelled, steam-punk sculpture art !!!

That car looks like it's straight from Flash Gordon. Crazy man. Great run with a great car.

Fantastic! I had seen beautiful photos of this car, but to hear the monster roar is just another level of amazing!

One of my all time favourite YouTube videos.

As kids growing up my buddy's mom had a old Buick with a 455 big block. It said 425 rocket on the motor. We pegged it out at 136+ going to Santa Nella to get Taco's. Good times for hungry teenagers. For a bone stock mom car it was fast
