This is my Australian Panther trike previously featured in January 2012 Trike talk trike of the month. It started off as a 1916 VW with auto trans. Then went to Ea81 Brat Subaru engine, then a weber went on, then SC12 supercharger. Now it has single point fuel injection from USA (didnt come out here with it). And is running 90%. sorting out some sensor issues.
Below is a trike in New Zealand. My mate is sitting on it after a ride. cool eh

Thanks to all you people who have posted pictures. I have a 2005 trike that was built in Florida. I don't believe it was ever licensed. Sat in storage forever and tank was rusted. Didn't know condition when I bought it in Florida.
Really like trike and attempted to drive it home. Bought in Miami and didn't make it out of Miami. Still like the trike. Building another engine this winter. Will post pictures next summer.
I need those handlebars...does anyone know what they came off of, or are they custom ?? Need bad for my restore. Thanks.
Completed late 2013.
This is 1 of 2. 1978 Wilmac my dad bought after a bout with cancer. He had sold his original trike (a 1980's Steirs kit that he bought in the early 1990's) - he didn't think he would be able to ride anymore after skin cancer. A few years back he bought this one and another that a friend used. When he passed away in Feb. 2010 my mom didn't now what to do with them and asked if I wanted one. I took the Wilmac and told her she should give the other to dad's friend.
This picture was taken that summer with my kids sitting on it trying to look cool!

Trike 2 of 2. Bought this one through a local add. Engine mounted on frame, body bolted on but not tightened down. It's titled as a 1980 Homemade (same body as the blue one though) with a South Dakota assigned VIN.
All the other parts are in boxes and popcorn tins. Debating whether to combine the 2 trikes or build 2 separate ones (the blue trike has had body work done that is cracked badly so I'm considering a new body for it).
John does this help? It is all packed in so most of it hides it's true nature.
