My canidate for the worlds slowest car is my old '66 Saab.  This
was an 850cc, 3 cyclinder, 2 stroke.  The only thing that allowed
any acceleration at all was the fact that you could rev it to
>2 million rpm.  It also had freewheel; if you took your foot off
the gas, the engine and transmission disconnected and the car
would coast (freewheel) until you gave it gas again.  I owned
that car for ten years and sold it for 100 dollars more than I
paid for it.  Of course, I did have to rebuild the engine once:
I replaced 3 of the 4 moving parts.

Ah, the good old days
