Those familiar with the 1958 James Bond novel may remember that the "dragon" as an armored tractor slathered in black and gold. Dr. Julius No used the fire-breathing vehicle to destroy an Audubon Bird sanctuary located on Crab Key. He also used theĀ fire-breathing tank to ward off any curious local that may discover his operations.

Powered by a diesel engine, this tank was given a long metal dragon head that protrudes from the front of the radiator. Even more, the vehicle was given a pair of headlamps equipped with black centers to resemble the eyes, and it was equipped with a long snout complete with open jaws that add to the dragon tank's incredible exterior. To make this tank even more epic is the powerful flamethrower inside the snout.

The 1958 Dr. No novel was turned into the very first James Bond movie that was released in 1962.

While following the scent, Bond discovers Dr. No's underground operation to interfere with an American space launch using a radio beam weapon.Ā
