I know what the engine is... I didn't ask what it is... I mentioned that I have no idea what vehicle this is. This specific vehicle, I'm not asking what vehicles had Allisons in them, I've posted enough of them for that. I was only pointing out that this video doesn't mention why it's putting this vehicle, and this video, on line. It would make some sense to give this video context, by explaining what vehicle they are resurrecting by getting the engine going
In the YouTube comments, the poster said it was a 1960's dragster called Colossus, which would explain the pie crust slicks. I couldn't find anything on Google other than the "Quad Al" dragster that is in the article that Kim linked.

DeleteI don't think that is a vehicle but just big ass heavy duty engine stand/trailer. That tire looks like it is solid chunk of rubber.
