Just a few fun pics of Yep, that’s right a Yugo with a wide body kit, big tires and a turbo Chrysler 4 cylinder driving the front wheels and a big Cadillac V-8 mounted in the rear seat area driving the rear wheels! The mastermind behind this thing is Bill Grabel of Valparaiso . Of course he was assisted by the ever inventive Jim McKamey.

During WWII the Sherman tank was mass produced. Engine supply could not keep up with demand, so Caddilac V8 automobile engines were ganged together to run some models of the Sherman, I believe they used four V8's. Yankee Ingenuity like this won the war. Not an autocross winner, but it still "blew away" the competition!
