V12-Powered Blastolene B-702 Masterpiece

V12-Powered Blastolene B-702 Masterpiece

The Blastolene B-702, completed in 2007, is a stunning automotive masterpiece inspired by the 1930s French specials. Designed by Michael Leeds and built by Randy Grubb, this unique creation features a custom chassis paired with an elegant aluminum body. It's powered by a GM-produced 702-ci (11.5-liter) V12 engine from the 1960s, linked to an Allison four-speed automatic transmission. The exterior showcases handcrafted aluminum panels, teardrop fenders, and a unique glass grille. Modern hardware, such as a braking system with large-diameter rotors, ensures it handles efficiently on public roads despite its size. This remarkable vehicle was sold for $550,000 at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2015.
