Another Dominos Tritan A2 Aerojet Delivery Vehicle Crosses the Auction Block

This past Monday, one of the seven existing Tritan A2 Aerojets was sold on Bring a Trailer setting a new sales record selling for $50,251,

Of the 10 built, this running and driving example on BaT is Tritan A2 #1, but build number has no basis on price evaluation. There are some minor differences in the earlier cars to the later cars as I will point out further into the post. Over the last few years there has been some considerable new interest in these vehicles as the sales pricing reflects.

The eventual buyer of car #1 iwas the DFW Car & Toy Museum/ The Ron Sturgeon Collection in Fort Worth, Texas, so if you're in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (or Roslyn, Long Island too to see car #5) stop on in and view a slice of automotive history!

This 1985 Tritan A2 is the first of 10 examples built in December 1984 for use as Domino’s Pizza delivery vehicles. It is powered by a Savkel SP-440 single-rotor 440cc Wankel engine paired with a belt-driven automatic transmission. The fiberglass monocoque is finished in white with red and blue accents and features a sliding canopy top, NACA ducts, covered headlights, a rear spoiler, a blue and white vinyl seat, an AM radio, a wood instrument panel, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. This Tritan A2 is now offered on dealer consignment in California with Domino’s promotional materials, correspondence from Domino’s, and a Montana title.

Engineer Douglas J. Amick began developing aerodynamic three-wheeled vehicles in the 1960s and built the Tritan Aero 135 trike with a drag coefficient of 0.135. He incorporated Tritan Ventures, Inc. in 1984 and subsequently launched the A2. Domino’s Pizza purchased 10 examples and fitted them with pizza warmers in place of a rear seat before testing them in select markets as pizza delivery vehicles. The program was canceled in the mid-1980s, and Tritan Ventures closed its doors in 1988.

The fiberglass monocoque on this example is finished in white with a red and blue Domino’s Pizza livery. Styling incorporates nose-mounted turn signals, NACA ducts, covered headlights and taillights, a sliding canopy top, an “Amick Arch” rear spoiler, and a central brake light.

The 8″ front and 13″ rear wheels wear tires of an unknown age. The A2 features a hydrogas suspension with a leading link front and a rear trailing arm setup. Stopping power is provided by rear hydraulic drum brakes.

The sliding canopy opens to reveal a cockpit featuring a single seat trimmed in blue and white vinyl as well as tan carpets and an under-dash AM radio. Domino’s A2 examples were fitted with pizza warmers in place of a rear seat, but the warmers were removed before Domino’s dispersed the fleet.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel features an A2-branded horn button, and it fronts a wood dash panel housing an 85-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and voltage.

The car is outfitted with a Savkel SP-440 single-rotor 440cc Wankel engine paired with a belt-driven automatic transmission.

A collection of Domino’s promotional items along with Domino’s corporate communications surrounding the release are included in the sale.

The title lists the vehicle as an All Terrain type with a Street Legal attribute note.

Wouldn’t this Tritan A2 be something to see completely refurbished. The kind of thing that stops traffic and turns heads. Lightweight, aerodynamic, and just quirky enough that customers would remember exactly who brought their beer and pizza.

My brother Doug, working with our aeronautical engineer father, the late James L. Amick, handcrafted this line in ’83 – ’84. It was a natural extension of the original Windmobile, featured on the cover of Popular Science in the 70s, which he created while just a teenager. The Windmobile was even more experimental: it was conceived as a sailing vehicle (originally on ice) and had no motors. To this end, it was fitted with two concentric steering wheels — one for normal steering, and a larger one for changing the yaw of the Amick Arch (small version is seen on the A2s) by turning all three wheels at once, so that you would be crabbing — going the same direction but adjusting for crosswinds just as in any sailing. That made for some interesting sailing on some of Michigan’s freeways, and aced a Land Speed record on a large dry lake in Nevada (at a regatta for regular wind-propelled landsailers — the kind with fabric sails).

Thank you, @Wob, for your obvious good care given to Tritan A2 Domino’s #1. I wish the new owner well!

If this thing take more than 30 minutes to sell at the end I’m assuming we get it for free?

I’ve never seen a vehicle that looked more like a racing shoe than a car in my entire life!
This car has a lot of sole, and is only for well-heeled collectors.
Don’t find my jokes funny? Sorry. I’ll work on my delivery.

@bozatwork This is my former vehicle, which I lovingly referred to as “The Pizza Rocket”. I wanted the wildest street legal vehicle to bring to Cars & Coffee shows and found this one at the Pioneer Auto Show museum, where it had sat static for over 3 decades. Like Ricky Bobby says, “If you ain’t first, you’re last”!

In the mid-80’s, Pioneer Auto Show owner, Dave Geisler, met Tom Monahan at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg museum. They shared a love for pre-war vehicles and Monahan agreed to gift his museum Tritan #001.

The rear warming ovens were removed from all 10 Tritans before being donated, but you can see what it looked like in the brochure. The paperwork is still present, documenting the history of this vehicle, unlike any of the other nine.

My goal was to preserve its originality, but make it mechanically sound to hit the road. I had it shipped to a local motorcycle shop, who took on the sympathetic restoration:

The front wheel is actually a trailer wheel and I had a new tire installed in 2019. I chose the highest speed rating (around 75 mph) just in case I had a rush delivery request. The rear tires were installed at the same time.

The main drive belt was changed a couple years later and a new air shock was installed in 2019. The front doesn’t have brakes, but the rear has drums. They’re actually the original brakes and attest to the low mileage and safe storage. I had the brake lines replaced for safety and a NOS e-brake fitted. The starter (Bosch) failed early on, but I replaced it with one I found on eBay. The battery is from 2023.

While it looks great lowered for photos, I recommend adding some air to the front tire via the Shrader valve so the vehicle will drive better. Most of the weight is in the rear due to the engine/transmission configuration, so when you step in, the vehicle will drop a few inches.

There are 2 brand new plexi tail light covers included (Photo 175) and the memorabilia I collected along the way. The Tritan owner’s club and Douglas Amick, the original builder, were very helpful during my ownership. I’m happy to put the lucky buyer in touch so they can continue the pizza delivery tradition.

I’ve heard second hand stories that Monahan wanted a pizza delivery vehicle that could do 70 mph and also achieve 70 mpg. This was during the gas crisis after all. The A2 was perfect for 16 year old Detroit delivery drivers in December. Cornering is better than expected due to the low center of gravity and rear weight bias. It doesn’t have or need power steering and feels like a go kart. I considered it more Porsche than modern water cooled Porsches: It’s air/oil cooled, rear engined, and RWD.

The only gauge that worked is the Voltmeter. We tried to get the gas gauge to work by replacing the pickup tube, but it never read right. The gas tank is only around 4 gallons, so I would fill it up after every drive. The speedo is cable controlled, but we found that the cable was broken. It was never a priority since Domino’s cancelled the 30 minutes or less, free delivery promotion. I might have added a couple thousand miles during my ownership.

Good luck to the winning bidder! You will have a collection showpiece with an incredible story that you can also drive and enjoy.

It’s a momentum vehicle and you should be able to do 60+ downhill with a gust of wind:

I remember drooling and dreaming about this car as a 7 or 8 year old in the 80’s! My mom was the housekeeper for Mrs. Amick and this was in her garage. I loved going to work with her so I could look at what I was sure would be the future of automobiles. I believe her son built a handful of them. At one point, the Dominos Pizza in Ypsilanti, MI had one on display in front of their store and I would ride my bike to go stare at it. Wow. Definitely a lifetime ago.

I am very proud of this and other accomplishments in vehicle design by my brother, Doug. No doubt he could be ready to resume work on this or similar with the proper support. You should see his later work that added electric motors, solar panels, braking that recharges the battery, and more and more — all in the 80s . . . just saying.

What firm would like to step and make this happen?

@justpaul – The predecessor, Windmobile, broke the then land-speed record for a sailing vehicle at around 55 mph on Roach Dry Lake, Nevada, in the late 70s . . . it had an even better drag coefficient than this Tritan A2.

Car #1 and Car #5 comparisons

As the build process continued through car #1 through car #10, minor upgrades and revisions can be viewed between various build numbers. Some are differences in paint, such as NACA ducts painted black versus white, or car #5 having the windshield wiper removed during minor restoration to avoid scratching the new windshield. Here are some of the minor variances in body work.

Car #1 directional signals in the nose.

By the time the Kroplick Collection car #5 was built a few weeks later, the directionals had been moved higher assuming better visibility. They were also covered assuming a better aerodynamic drag coefficient.

That drag coefficient of the Tritan A2 was an incredible .15 in wind tunnel testing. Most modern production cars are nowhere near these numbers even today.
