This might look like a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass but looks are the only thing this off-roader has in common with a production model. This baja racer is called the Banshee and it features a very strange engine placement and a full tube chassis.
The car was raced by James Garner in the Baja 1000 during the 1970’s and it’s still being raced today! The original race car had a 455 cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 but the car now runs a modern GM LS3 V8 for increased reliability and durability. it might be down on cubes compared to the 455 but it still sounds absolutely savage.
The car has no license plates and no windshield but that doesn’t seem to bother Jay as he takes it on the boulevards of Los Angeles. The show concludes with donuts in the dirt which might be a first for his show.
