    Looks like a rocket to an old carnival ride from the 50's.

    looks like a down hill racer made from a seabird pontoon. I love the rust and color on the one side.

    Buy it. You are not crazy..

    I'd try to make a gas powered go-cart type ride out of it.

    It does appear to be part of an old carnival ride.

    Buy it.

    I'm visualizing a rear mount engine/trans from a Geo Metro with dual side-mounted radiators and ducting. Yeah, that's the ticket!!:eek:
