Earlier today, we posted that Craig Breedlove sold his Spirit of America car to Steve Fossett for Fossett’s newest challenge, an attempt at breaking the world land speed record. The land speed record is currently held by Andy Green in the Thrust SSC, with a speed of 763.035 mph, which is the first time a land vehicle has exceeded the speed of sound.
