I think its one of eight Scarab build by Lance Reventlow in the late 50's. McQueen had one with a 283 FI converted to to street.

A couple of neat ones from Republic Aviation. I worked at this airport as a mechanic, in the hangars in these pics.

XP-72 sitting in front of Hangar 2, which is the oldest hangar still on the airport and was one of the original structures used by Seversky Aircraft, which later became Republic. I used to service Cessnas right where this thing is parked.

The second pic with the XF-91A on the stands is also in Hangar 2. I spent 5 years working in and around that hangar, but it was filled with Piper Navajos, a Lear 25 and other GA type airplanes.

The 3rd pic shows an XR-12 Rainbow flanked by a P-47 and an RC-3 Seabee, in front of Hangar 3. I also work in this hangar once in a while. It is now the American Airpower Museum, and is once again filled with WWII era airplanes! The Rainbow still holds the speed record for 4 engine piston aircraft.

4th pic has an F-105, again parked in front of hangar 2

5th pic is hangar 2 in 1937, when it was part of the Seversky factory.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
