That is insane - beautiful car and the narration is almost subdued as Gary describes building the car.

Good Find/Post!

Thanks everybody. Yes i'm the same contributor to OSO that does all the Mercury gears for the SSM drives. If you watch the video of the 55 on Utube, please feel free to share with anyone that may be interested. Also it is not the old V12 made by GM but a 730cid alum hemi head marine engine built primarily for the marine industry by BPM Marine in Italy.

Beautiful car!!!!!! Just like you explained in the video, it becomes more different, the more you look at the details.
