Gordon Tronson's Double Trouble twin engine Hot Rod serves as tow car to Kevin Sarginson's Mustang GT 460 Funny Car at the March 2011 Meet at Auto Club Raceway. |
![]() This Countach was built by me from scratch using a 1/24 scale model as a guide. The Lamborghini Countach was a mid engined sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990. When I first saw pictures of it in the mid-seventies I knew I had to have one, so I built it myself. The mold was pulled from a wood buck that I formed by hand back in New Zealand. The buck was built in Canada in 1986. This is not a kit. I built it from scratch. I built a number of them. The car pictured in these photos was built and sold in 1992. Read More |
![]() If you have to ask why, you'll never understand Gordon Tronson. There is no reason to build a twin-engine, 1,000-horsepower hot rod, by yourself, in your garage. If you can somehow make sense of that, try this: Unlike practically every other twin-engine car ever built - and there have been quite a few, from drag racers to street cars - the power plants in Tronson's car are mounted side-by-side.
