This is a seriously cool car, it looks like something from the old TV show the Wild Wild West. The wonderful world of eBay has given us another interesting bit of automotive history. This 3 wheeler is powered by steam and has a “wood or coal burner mounted next to the driver’s seat” sounds like an interesting ride. Check out the pics and the eBay description below.

STEAM CAR/THREE WHEEL MOTORCYCLE
California Registration/three-wheel motorcycle 1965-66
This is a steam-powered three-wheel vehicle.
I CAN GUARANTEE THIS IS ONE OF A KIND. THIS IS A MANS LIFE’S WORK; EVERY PART IS HANDMADE.
HE INVENTED THE WHEEL EVERY CHANCE HE HAD).
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ITS EQUAL…THAT’S WHY I ENDED UP WITH IT. IF YOU’VE EVER WORKED WITH YOUR HANDS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF WORK INVOLVED. HE DEFINITELY WAS AN ENGINEERING GENIUS.
IT IS A MASTERPIECE OF AMERICAN INGENUITY. MUST BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED OR BELIEVED. THE DETAILS ARE PHENOMENAL.
DOES IT RUN? IT HAS RUN PREVIOUSLY, BUT NOT WHILE I HAVE OWNED IT.
