Could it be... The only Torpedo V-King ever made...

Looks like Sam bakers dads Torpedo V-King may have been found and its only about 30 minutes away from me. I wish I had the money to go scoop this up so bad!!! It is the only one that was ever made!!!

Now I am not 100% sure that it is the boat but looking at the pictures on CL leads me to believe it is. If so I wonder where the cockpit ended up at as it was only a drop on piece so the boat still retained the original deck design for the most part from my understanding.

Here is more info on it...

Here it is at the 1981 St. Louis race.

I'm gonna say not it from the front shot.

I dunno It's hard to say from the pics.

Those tunnels can't go up very far...They apparently end before the number 7.

Good find, Hippie...and when you go to look at it, don't forget your camera.

[Hippie459MN]

I am going to call the guy when I get home and see if I can go take a look at it this weekend.

$2500 even if it is? Hell no... $250, maybe.

[Hippie459MN]

I agree.$500 if I was feeling generous but no more. Just my two cents.

$250?...That's Insano!

...easy for me to say down here in Texas though.

[HST4ME]

lol, not after you've fixed a couple dozen of them.

As soon as you see the tunnel from the back, you will know. What a cool piece of history that would be.

Chet will have the second one ever made. lol...
