This is a steam trike sitting for sale about 2 blocks from my place, had to grab my camera,” said Gene Koch of Drag Specialties. “It’s a one-off that somebody built and I've never seen anything like it. Needs a lot of work, the owner had no idea who built it or when. Wants $7,000.

It has a car differential and we’re searching for info on the transmission. Check the pot for stoking the fire. Sure to get mighty warm while rolling down the road.

As far as we know the chain secures the vehicle, while it’s up for sale. Check the controls. This puppy is rough.

Who is that artist, Rube Goldberg? How’s that for plumbing? That tank might hold propane for starting the wood fire.

Great view out the windshield.

The driver/rider must reach behind his seat to grab some wood fuel.

So what’s the tank alongside the vehicle. How about a torpedo launcher? If you know anything about this vehicle send the info to Bandit@bikernet.com and we’ll add it to this limited feature.
