Not a car, so I can't put it in "Cars for sale"...

You know you want it...  

One of the more interesting ways to die at the hands of a Pontiac 389

Needs it, what does that oil rig weigh?

Here is a gyrocopter at a local estate auction.

I feel fairly comfortable in saying this has to be the only rotorcraft with Pontiac V8 power 

I imagine on any given day, you'd find the sky fairly crowded with aircraft sporting mid-60's Pontiac 389 power, no?

That’s um, innovative. 

I've seen a lot of scary things on Facebook but this might just be the scariest. 

Condition: Used - Good

I'm a pilot, an Experimental Aviation Association member for 30 years, and a huge proponent of homebuilt aviation. No. No berkin way would I fly that.

Yeah, but if things keep going as they are, the Russian military might buy it...

After looking at description and pick up window, I expect they'll have to pay someone to haul this thing off.

But the auction has some interesting items, lots of tools, and there's lot 1227 if you're looking for a challenge car.

People are awesome, but no. No.

This will be how the first Lemons driver dies piloting their own private aircraft. 

Once this occurs it'll be time to recognize Lemons racers as professional racing drivers. 

In reply to Appleseed :

Awful bold of you to assume it could ever get off the ground... 

In reply to Jay_W :

Fly it? No.

Crash it? Guaranteed.

Its a $750 Pontiac 389 with a lot of scrap metal attached.

I didnt know jack kevorkian made copters for folks.

That's not a helicopter, its a chopper. Chopper, indeed.

hold my beer and watch this?

In reply to AAZCD-Jon (Forum Supporter) :

I scooted back from my monitor for a few of those.

Um. That thing has a radiator right behind the cheap plastic seats with no protection. I keep thinking of that Cleetus Whatshisname radiator explosion video where the driver got roasted.

 8 missing plugwires. Normally I'd look at that as being a bit of a negative but not here. 

Looks like the center of gravity doesn't match the center of thrust.   Isn't that required for a helicopter?
