Harley-Powered 1957 BMW Isetta Dragster

This unique 1957 BMW Isetta, built by Michael Brown, is a standout creation featuring a Harley-Davidson 1.2-liter V-Twin engine. Known as 'Big Dill,' the car has undergone extensive modifications including a custom frame and widened rear wheel wells. The interior features diamond-stitching and a roll cage, transforming this classic microcar into a dragstrip-ready machine. It recently won a spot in the Hot Wheels Legends Tour for a chance to become a diecast model.
