PANOZ ESPERANTE "THE FLYING CAR"
- Summary
: Everyone said he couldn't do it, but Jesse James
managed to take a $100,000 Panoz Esperante and create an
airborne vehicle whose first flight matched the success
of the Wright Brothers. Sold on a Bill of sale. Special
conditions apply.
- Description
: Ever since "Monster Garage" premiered on Discovery
Channel in June 2002, Jesse James led teams to build
vehicles that make beer, do wheelies, shake trees, even
transport gorillas. But all the while, Jesse was turning
his thoughts and his dreams to the sky. Everyone said he
couldn't do it, and the lawyers begged him not to do it,
but Jesse James and his 9 man team managed to take a
$100,000 Panoz Esperante sports car and create an
airborne vehicle whose first flight matched the success
of the Wright Brothers'. After the team tore out the
Panoz's plush interior to make room for a roll cage,
installed a used propeller engine in the trunk, mounted
36' handmade wings to the car's exact center and secured
a rear tail with a 15" fuselage, the flying car was taken
to Kitty Hawk, NC, home of the Wright Brothers' first
flight. Under the power of the original Panoz engine,
Jesse taxied the flying car onto the runway, started the
propeller engine and, after hitting 80mph, guided the
automobile off the ground for 280 feet, landing safely
without even a scratch to the Red Baron paint job. THE
