Worlds fastest Vespa

Custom

This is what you get when you cram a blown, big block 540 Chevy, TH-400 Auto Tranny, Chrome 4 Link 9″ Rear with a 390 Posi on a tube chassis INTO a Vespa 400 body.

If you like to go a little bit fast and have $79,000 (OBO) to spare, you can buy it from Ron Mule up in Hamilton, NJ. This one-of-a-kind 1960 Vespa Pro Street, black with flames and red leather only has 600 miles on her and she’s guaranteed to make a BIG splash at your next rally… though, they may not let you enter her in the gymkhana.

Oh and speaking of “cars”… check out this artwork also in Video format. It beats the old standby of “Wash Me” or “Lavarme” as we sometimes see here in Texas… AND speaking of “Texas”, that’s where he’s from… ANNNND speaking of “from”, from now on don’t let me make that many segways in one paragraph.

    i wish the hot rodders would leave these poor Vespa 400s ALONE!

    On our way to Amerivespa, we saw one that had a Geo Metro squeezed into it (which made it a two-seater because the engine took up the backseat.)

    We know a guy who wants to put a gold wing engine into one! I don’t think he’s done it yet.

    As Susan Powter would say, “STOP THE INSANITY!”

    I can see it from your point of view. Poor thing. It’s like crammin’ a gorilla into a bunny skin. Actually, that’s kinda gross if you visualize it… but that bunny would rip you in two afterward!

    I don’t know about you guys but I’m pretty sure this little car would have never made it to ScooterScoop without help from some hot-rodders.
