How 'bout this for a HybridZ?

There's a 1979 Z for sale on eBay that used to have a turbine jet engine in it.

There must be an interesting story behind this car.

:shock:

 

since the auction is ending soon, here's the vehicle description:

If You were going to put an Allison/Rolls Royce T-63 700 200 or 250 into a Datsun 280ZX this is the car, I have removed the turbine and ignitor box, other than that its ready to go. I have put approx 2500 miles on this little car and beleive its street legal except for this little excessive noise issue [ just kidding, You can hear the radio/CD player just fine and carry on a normal conversation. Included is a built GM 700R4 transmission which I promptly damaged while running to low of line pressure with too much torque @ the Salt Flats, I removed the transmission and ran direct for the last 1500 miles, [this works well as the T-63 has a free turbine which acts as a torgue converter] Tires, and shocks have 2500 miles on them, would like this little car to go to a good home, Shipping or hauling is the responsibility of the Buyer, 25 % down within 3 days of the end of the auction, balance and pick up within 2 weeks of end of auction. call me @ 515-210-9400 or email me @ sheldahl7739 with any serious questions. Cashiers check, money order or payapl.

i have a website on my favorites that sell surplus military stuff.http://www.govliquidation.com.some people are starting to put shaft turbine engines in boats but the noise is a problem.it would be interesting just to see if i could figure out how to make the engine start & run.
