    That's one you should really try to get. Have you seen the thread about the "Giant Speedster" here on the HAMB, guy in Georga is building it, started with a Seagrave Firetruck, massive 6 cylinder engine.

    I wish it was in my neighborhood, and I have some room for it... I like the fire trucks!

    Looks like an American LaFrance. After Auburn went out of business, ALFCO bought the tooling for the 45-degree Lycoming V-12. They punched it out to 540 cubic inches and added dual ignition. I want one!

    Get it bought,get it home, and get to work! Something similar to the 'Giant roadster' would be a 'fun' project. Additionally, I see tons of parts still on that that you can sell to fire truck collectors to help recoup overall project costs.Lots of good stuff there!

    If you have a speedster project or restoration in mind here is another prospect. Late 20s Seagrave Hook & Ladder rig. 1013 cid T head engine, remote gear box, single rear wheels, higher than most gear ratio & 4 wheel brakes. It is available. Health is limiting projects.
