Vehicle Description
Strip and Street classic for sale. No, that's not stated backwards.
This is a radical Hemi build in a beautifully restored Plymouth
Savoy that is not for the faint of heart. It comes with full
documentation on the engine build including the dyno sheet, and
other details on the chassis work. It's Beautiful. It's Fast. It
could be yours.
No matter what angle you see this car from first, (although
actually, you may hear the thunder first), there is never any doubt
what its all about. The glossy Black paint and the huge rear wheels
that give it an aggressive stance instantly convey the serious
nature of the car. Quality workmanship involved lots of time to
prep the car before a drop of paint was applied. It was stripped
down to bare metal, along with the frame, and was worked back up
from there. All the chrome was re-chromed and all the stainless was
buffed to a high shine. Up front the hood scoop gathers up air for
the beast within and announces it as a Hemi in bright red letters.
The grill looks great with that fresh bumper underneath, and things
look good out back in part because the tail lights and parking
lights are NOS replacements and have another fresh bumper
underlining them. A thin red pinstripe accents the body line and
matches the red interior.
That interior is all fresh and new. It looks like just another nice
street car interior except for a few telltale signs. The door panel
is simple and clean with a pattern of 7 bars. The same as the
number of lights on a drag racing Christmas tree. Hmm? Coincidence?
There is a big red steering wheel that you best have a firm grip on
if you cut this car loose, with a stock dashboard behind it. The
speedo is directly in front of the driver with a pair of engine
gauges off on each side and a factory tach to the right of them
all. There is also an auxiliary set of Stewart Warner gauges
mounted under the dash to keep accurate track of oil pressure,
water temp and voltage. A Hurst shifter for the 4-speed manual
trans rises up out of the floor and the seats look great with
racing belts to hold you firmly in them at need.
Now for engine and chassis highlights. Please ask you salesperson
about the complete documentation. The basics are: There is 528
cubic inches of Hemi engine pumping out 735 horsepower and 675
foot-pounds of torque. It was expertly built, at great expense, by
the pros at Indy Cylinder Head in Indianapolis In. They used an
original 1964 Cross Ram intake manifold with dual 4-barrel
carburetors topped with a vintage '64 air filter assembly to help
generate the power. The rest is current tech. 426-1 heads CNC
ported and polished, 10.25:1 compression, (low enough to run 92
octane pump gas), Eagle rods, roller cam, roller rockers, TTI
headers, a windage tray and Miloden pan, and an aluminum radiator
with electric fans to keep things cool. Power flows back through an
18 spline 4-speed transmission with a Lakewood blowproof bell
housing to a 410 Dana rear end. Custom rack and pinion steering is
a nice touch and front disc brakes haul you back down from speed.
The rubber meets the road through 33x9.50 15s in the back and
215/75R15s up front all mounted on Billet Specialties wheels.
Beautiful and fast. A quality build from top to bottom and end to
end. And it could be yours. Come on down and check it out.
