Goldenrod (car)

The car is powered by four fuel injected Chrysler Hemi engines mounted inline and created a total output of 2,400 hp (1,800 kW).

[citation needed] Before finding their final success, the two brothers contacted a fuel specialist and racing equipment pioneer and inventor named Tony Capanna, owner of Wilcap Co. (at that time in Torrance California).

[citation needed] A scale model of the proposed car was shown to Hot Rod's managing editor Dick Wells in August 1964.

Goldenrod was not supercharged, so it still held the class (AI-II-11) record[4] until 21 September 2010, when Charles Nearburg in the Spirit of Rett increased this to 414.316 mph (666.777 km/h).

The Henry Ford museum bought the car in 2002, restored her via a US government grant (Save America's Treasures), and had her on display as of September 2006.
