I think they must have manually engaged the spark at the top of the stroke .  Can't think of any other explanation.

How would you like to be the guy on the crank?

And why is there a delay?  Is the crank just running up the compression stroke and they have a way to manually fire the plug? It's a good idea and all, I wouldn't want to be on the crank for that thing if it backfired.

It was never on my must have list either but the story behind it is cool. Its likely the only one in existence that hasn't been turned into a lowrider,,,

Oh yeah, there they are, with the chrome trim; that's an interesting story.  That looks like a Corvair next to it in the first photo.

That looks great.  I bet there's no structural integrity in the roof and you really don't want to roll it, though.

 
I don't know. It looks like there is a center split on both the front and the back windows. In addition to the structural element, it moves the awkward blind spot from the corner to dead center in front! Safety and style!  The only thing missing is a way to get in, but really, you would just want this thing built around you - 'cause once you're in, you'll never want to leave!
