Barrett-Jackson will auction this custom 1961 Nash Metropolitan in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 11-19. The little dragster was built by Rodger Purdy Jr. from Pro Street Chassis in New Jersey. It rides on a custom tubular chassis with a Mustang II front suspension and four-link rear suspension. A 540 ci Chevy big-block V8 with Pro Comp aluminum heads capable of 620 horsepower sticks out of the hood. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Transmission Specialties Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end with a LSD and 4.10 gears. You can view more photos of the build here (scroll down).

“No Reserve”, it will be interesting to see where the hammer falls on this one. It will take a special person to buy this and two special people to have an auction.
