Its articulating all wheel drive with four wheel steer like a monster truck.It originally came with a 12hp cast iron block but i upgraded to a 16hp briggs vanguard v-twin.Two foward speeds and one reverse for a top speed of about 25-30 mph.
The two body halfs are connected by a center bearing so the bodys can twist independent of each other

My Uncle had a distributorship for Coot's in the 70's. I know dad used to work for him assembleing them and repairing them. I don't remember a lot about them I'll have to ask him about some of the history of it.
