1971 Eagle-Picher Silver Eagle Electric Race Car. A historic
land-speed record breaker!
In August 1971, at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the Eagle-Picher
Silver Eagle set a new land-speed record for an electric car,
reaching an impressive 152.598 MPH in the measured mile. This
groundbreaking vehicle set 21 land-speed records, including 14
national and 7 international records, all officially supervised and
timed by USAC officials.
A product of a joint effort between Mechanix Illustrated Magazine
and Eagle-Picher Industries, this car was engineered by Darryl
Goade of the Eagle-Picher Joplin, MO battery division. The advanced
battery cells are of the same specification used in NASA's Apollo
15 Lunar Rover!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true piece of
electric vehicle and motorsports history!!!
