Dymaxion still in the news
 

Interesting link to Santa Cruz:
Dymaxion redux

That's awesome. I'd love to see all that- the plans, the movie, car #2, and the replica.

The DelMar is right down the street, but I noticed that movie was shown Feb. 2012. This is info I could dig up about plans:
Noel Murphy Productions
Producer
500 Soquel Avenue
Santa Cruz , Ca 95010
US
831-238-1234
info@DymaxionFilm.com

Original blueprints; and my other hero, Sir Norman Foster, restored the interior of #2! I think they're past *original* and so they should have the flathead done with a new block from Motor City Speed Equipment or a French military block from Flathead City (I can't find it on their site but Google says it's there). [Zora Arkus-Duntov] ARDUN heads and a GMC 6-71 blower. :cool: The World's fastest Dymaxion!

In case you're not getting it yet, let me repost this another time:

Forget the flying car, I want an amphibian.

Does anyone out in ecomodder land by chance know the Dymaxion specs such as the curb weight, height, width, and length?

I know little other than that it had a Ford V8 engine with 85bhp and with its teardrop shape was able to get 30mpg. I would like to learn more about this vehicle so any other info you could provide would be great and much appreciated :)

The Dymaxion Car Rides Again says
In 1933 wouldn't it have been the V8-60? Let us know what you find out.

From their charts, 5m long, or 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet. Other sources say 20 feet.
