He dreams of taking it to the Bonneville Salt Flats to see how fast it will go. By the early 1960s, heart disease threatens his life, so he mortgages his house and takes a boat to Los Angeles, buys an old car, builds a makeshift trailer, gets the Indian through customs, and heads for Utah. Despite many set backs, Munro finally sets the land speed world record at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. Stainless steel case in 44mm. Limited to 1967 pieces. Priced at USD 3,750.00
