Calling on a jet engine must be super cool. I mean just saying “Yeah, I’m calling about the jet engine you have for sale?” LOL That would rule all! I totally want this. I don’t know what I would do with it, other than bolting it to my back patio and lighting off the afterburner at parties, but I would think of something. If you think for a second that you wouldn’t be eating great BBQ from the ass end of this thing at my house as well, you are crazy.
Hell, I would probably build some kind of cage around it so that the thing was pretty self contained and then just buy junk cars to attach it to for fun. Who’s in?!
I can think of about 100 more cool things to do with a jet engine of your own, but we want to hear from you.
What would you do with this J-79 Jet Engine?
Here is the link to the RacingJunk ad as well.
Since J-79’s were used in F-4 Phantoms, you’d better bolt it to more than your patio lest you and the Wright Bros. will have something in common!
Build a to scale “recreation” of The Green Monster
or a full scale Sprit of America
Bad seed 2 the jet chevette????
Trade it for a Throttleable Hydrogen Peroxide Rocket rig. LOL
Beat Larson!
suddenly I remember the episode of Tailspin where Balou and Wildcat are tasked with delivering a jet engine.
A perfect choice for the Mini-Max!!
Put it on a railroad sled and run on a several miles long line of abandoned railroad that happens to be in my town.
Build a Challenger around it and go racing.
On second thought, maybe I’d put it in that 72 Imperial behind the shop that I’ve been intending to do something with for the last 10 year. And then go racing.
I’d sell it before it had a chance to leak kerosene all over my driveway.
Make a backup generator.
It’s a toss up between my ’95 Sea-Doo Speedster and my ’59 Chevy Apache.
