History
In 2001 an artist/designer named Randy Grubb built the Blastolene Special with a Continental AV1790-5B(a huge engine that weighs the same as a Volkswagen Beetle) used in a 51-ton M47 Patton Tank back in the 1950s, a Greyhound bus transmission and metal for the body.
The Blastolene Indy Special is a similar car that is styled after a 1950s era Indy Car.
The car sold at auction on January 23, 2010
