Vehicle Description
This magnificent hand built 1923 Ford Replica of the Pacers Auto
was recreated by Billy Lynch and Roy Miller. The launch of Billy
Lynchs successful professional drag racing career began in the
early 1960s out of a garage in Brooklyn, NY. Billy built his own
chassis formed his own bodies, and constructed the front ends on
all his racecars entirely on his own. In addition to the in-house
preparation of his top fuel and top gas dragsters, Billy also tuned
and drove these 1500 horsepower, nitro-burning machines almost
single-handedly. His hands on experience, coupled with his many
national event victories earned Billy a reputation second to none
in all of drag racing. The build on this unique replica began on
October 7th, 2009 and was completed on June 26th, 2010.
Approximately 1250 working hours and over $100k in hard parts were
spent to construct the Tasmanian Devil at a total cost of over
$220k. The engine is a 1958 Chrysler 392 cubic inch Imperial engine
balanced by Jack Merkel. The camshaft is a Howard R381 special
grind 106 lobe. Howard heavy duty roller lifters. Ported and
polished Daytona Heads. Hilborn 4 inch injector, custom Billy Lynch
oil pan, Schiefer Flywheel clutch, custom body by Billy Lynch. Body
is painted in Artic White. The front wheels are 12 spoke magnesium
polished Hildbrant, the rears are 16 inch. The chassis was built by
Bernie Shacker. A full spec sheet on this replica can be accessed
