You gotta see this ATC.....

[oldtoys72]

so where does the driver sit? Ten-foot-tall three-wheeler going up for auction
without comments



So among the lots at Barrett-Jackson’s inaugural Las Vegas auction later this month (aside from Carroll Shelby’s MG TC, his first race car), we spied lot 175, billed as the “Thunderous Cyclops.” Of course, with a name like that, we had to investigate. According to the auction description, it’s a to-scale 10-foot-tall Honda three-wheeler, created by a chap named Clifford Smith. We’re guessing Clifford’s from Texas.

The three-wheeler uses two different engines: a Keith Black Hemi to power the 66-inch tires and a Honda motorcycle engine to power the batteries and hydraulic steering pump. And yes, the driver sits in between the legs of the giant inflatable driver (which adds five feet of total height), using a camera and television screen to see forward of the trike.



Obviously, it’s a hit at monster truck shows.

judging from the pictures i would say the description that was in the article that the ATC is ten feet tall may be a little off, its clearly bigger than the building in the first picture and if you look at the second picture at the guy thats in the seat i would say its more than just ten feet tall

I remember seeing this in the late 80's in monster truck races on tv. I was searching for info on it and I found the like to this thread on google. I have looked for hours trying to find footage of it racing. If I remember correctly it was a flop on the monster truck circuit. It didnt handle landings very good.
