The 1961 Kellison J5 dropnose

This is a 1 of 2 Kellison J5 dropnose. The 1962 held the land speed record for many years, this one was the prototype. It had an unreleased 327 from the lead director of GM. The suspension and chassis done by chuck manning, this chassis and suspension being the last he ever designed. All together the car weighs 1800 pounds and is also completely street legal. After the record was broken Kellison stored this car in a warehouse, the same warehouse burned down. This being one of the only surviving cars in the building. It’s been lost since the fire and then a guy uploaded it to Facebook marketplace about a year ago. He’s offering 28k with the engine and transmission. I’m actually thinking about restoring it.
