With the Bonneville Salt Flat season approaching, we figure there’s no better time to start working on your land speed attempt. We’ve always had a bit of an affinity towards going fast, which is the sole focus of Bonneville. Believe it or not, this car set a record in 2001 at 175.041mph. The owner claims the price tag is very reasonable, bidding on EBay is currently up to $1,136 with Reserve Not Met.

Guess one of the reasons we like this Lakester is that it reminds us of one of our favorite movies, World’s Fastest Indian:

The seller claims this home-built is worthy of going back to Bonneville, this time with a turbo set up good for over 200mph! We like that the seller seems pretty relaxed. He obviously wants to sell it, but he’s posted a ton of pics and even the video of when they first started it after years of sitting, as to be upfront with any possible buyers. It appears he’s got nothing to hide and that’s valuable to us; he even mentions they will set the car up to go back to Bonneville, should the buyer so desire.
