For $300,000.01 the "Hemijet" could be yours. What's the Hemijet? It's a 1939 Ford standard coupe with a Chrysler Hemi engine up front, built to be the world's fastest street legal car. To stack the deck to become the fastest and make sure the Hemi is not too strained in those circumstances when you need an extra bit of thrust, a functioning jet engine in the trunk. No, we're not kidding—look at the pictures.

"The Mad Scientist" Joe Wilkins, and Doug Leopold, owner of Classic Collision and Restoration in Bryan, Texas, built the coupe. It sits on a Morrison chassis, with a blown Hemi fed by Holley 850 double pumpers, estimated to have 1800hp. A paddle shifted automatic, Corvette independent rear, and remote controlled hood, trunk and doors are just some of the features of this unique Ford.

The jet engine is a military GTP 30-67 APU with four afterburners, running at 60,000rpm at full speed. It adds an estimated 1000hp to the coupe. A special tank contains 15 gallons of jet fuel in addition to the fuel cell for gas. With all of this horsepower galloping around, a Halon fire suppression system is built into the car.

With the timing coming just after our Drag week event where contenders for just that title were in the low six-second range at over 200mph in the quarter mile, we must assume that Joe has given up on chasing the fastest street legal car crown. Oh, well, you can go HERE to see the car on ebay.
