ColdBastrd 09-26-2003, 01:02 PM Found this while tooling around the internet. Makes you wonder what's under the hood now. Mid Engine Elky rear (http://www.bb62museum.org/wave3/Rim00040.jpg) Mid engine Elky engine pic.

Gozer 09-26-2003, 01:50 PM For the transmission, I'd guess maybe a 1970's FWD transmission from a Toronado or Eldorado. That would line the wheels up about right and would also probably be the easiest conversion (though still a pain) As to why? Dunno. Maybe they really liked all those mid-engine Elkies Hot Wheels keeps putting out. Needs more chrome and a bugcatcher if they were going for that look though... spencersr 02-12-2012, 12:30 PM Bump .........just read the other thread about rear/mid engine elky ssr71 02-12-2012, 03:01 PM Why??? Drag racing. Move all that weight to the rear to improve traction. Fuel cell's probably up front under the hood now. steelybill 02-12-2012, 03:33 PM Certainly different........:neutral: LOCKJAW 02-12-2012, 04:49 PM I want it. CANTED 02-12-2012, 05:23 PM Back around 1970 I went to an event at a drag strip that had a field of sixteen wheelstanders. One of which was an El Camino. Finally found it on the web. http://public.fotki.com/VincePutt/drag_racing/wheelstanders/chevy-wheelstanders/roytrevinotexasrare-1.html< El Camino wheelstander While looking I found this Cameo wheelstander. As rare as the Cameo is, it's hard to believe someone would cut one up. http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4015/cameows.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/140/cameows.jpg/) Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us) steelybill 02-13-2012, 05:08 PM A wheel stand is easy with the engine almost hanging off of the rear !

Its cool but you wouldnt be able to drive in the rain. Its definitly just for show jlcustomz 02-14-2012, 03:44 PM You could drive in the rain-with high quality plug wires & proper use of dielectric grease. And donny, if you haven't seen other thread, google V-drive.
