Wooden Engines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Replica Ferrari Engine by Bill Dietz

— April 19, 2009 — Autos
I don’t fully understand why someone would want to build a replica Ferrari engine out of wood, as Bill Dietz has. I also don’t fully understand why Dietz would want to devote three years of his life to doing so only to flog the thing on eBay.

This Ferrari 365GTB/4 V12 engine was built from 11 different woods, and is one of 25 handmade wooden engines by Bill Dietz. One was impressive, but 25!

Check out Bill Dietz’s immaculate engine above. Would you sell this bad boy, or keep it for yourself?
