Air Drops SE505: Bone Shaker

A few months ago, I traveled to Pennsylvania to meet with Rick Kopp – driver/owner of Bone Shaker, a custom built 1981 International Transtar 4300 that is fitted with a J79-GE-8 turbojet; the same motor used in the F-4B and A-5.

Bone Shaker performs mainly at drag race events and air shows, and clocks in at over 300 mph! Rick had Bone Shaker on site for our visit, and getting to check this monster out was awesome.

Rick sent us some material shortly after my visit and we got to work on a totally unique project featuring components from one of the J79s used in Bone Shaker as Air Drops.  

2 variants of SE505 are available: Autographed (by Rick Kopp) and Non-autographed.

The window to buy an autographed card closes at 1400 US CDT (2 hours after the listing opens). At that point we will be shipping Rick all purchased autograph cards to sign. He will send them back to us, and we will ship them to you. We expect this process to take 2-3 weeks. 

Non-autographed cards will ship ASAP. 

Only 183 were cut from these components and all are high-temp alloy.  1/2 of the 183 are for sale here; the other half Rick will be selling in person at airshow and drag race events this season.

All cards feature Ryan Roadkill art on one of our shiny “Data Plate” cards. The backs feature a photograph of Bone Shaker along with vehicle specifications.
