It won’t be a true F1 engine. I don’t think most owners want to run the heater block on the engine for 30 min to an hour before driving to heat up the components/ block enough that the pistons can move freely. Or is that no needed to get the tight engine tolerances desired in an F1 engine? 

Ran when parked

“I parked your car Alex”

Semi-detached. Still runs.

That’s the shingle best drift I’ve seen today.

Over correcting. Or parallel parking like a boss?

the engine will only last 31,000 miles.

Um, have there been advances in steak technology?

I didn’t drive the exact one pictured, but I did get to drive a 1935 Desoto Airflow when I was 15.

Production car: 1910 Atlas Motor Car. Huge two stroke engine, surprisingly fast for what I expected.

I was at an Alfa Club National convention years ago (1989), and needed a navigator for the rally, I asked the guys running the event, and they directed me to another guy looking for a navigator as well. Since he had a pristine early 60's Giulietta Spider, and I had a modern (for then) Spider, guess which car we took!

1936 Packard - with the rumble seat - when I was the marketing manager for a private car collection outside of Chicago. Beautiful collection of cars, terrible business model. This beast was beautiful to look at, but you didn’t want to make a turn while driving her.  

55 ElDorado Coupe. My Dad had it in the 80's and I got to drive it around in a circle once on private property when i was about 10. He traded his ‘82 Harley FLH to get it, then sold it and used the money to buy a 27' Tartan sailboat

Does a truck count? 1964 International Lodestar, 4-speed, 2-speed rear, still in use at my friend’s farm in Connecticut similar to the one pictured below
