Vehicle Description
We already know you're looking at this because you're a fan of the
outrageous. So yes, while we do call this car 1937 Fiat 500
Topolino, it's really a full custom modern drag car. So check out
the custom frame, mean Dart V8, and so much other custom work makes
this a true one-of-a-kind for the street or strip.
Something this wild is not for the faint of heart, and so to a drag
racer with holy ambition is quite appealing. As you get closer,
you'll even see that the silver "pinstripe" separating the black
and purple two-tone is actually a full verse from Corinthians. This
was last raced by a chaplain, and so this makes for a high-octane
preaching tool. But for those who don't have the same mission on
the track, these decals can be removed. And the appeal of this one
is for more than just the devout. ScottRods built the custom
fiberglass body that resembles the first-gen Fiat 500 minicar.
There's plenty of fun irony in a vehicle nicknamed Topolino (little
mouse) on something so mean. After all, with the ultra-long hood,
huge hood scoop, and wheelie bars, this will even intimidate Mighty
Mouse.
The black and purple theme continues inside. But while the colors
coordinate, what you're really interested in is that this is an
NHRA certified package. The full race cage surrounds you; there's a
five-point RJS racing harness; all the toggle switches are clearly
labeled on the Painless box; and the AutoMeter Pro-Comp gauges are
crisp, especially the all-important large tach mounted centrally on
the dash. You've got a Hurst Quarter Stick shifter with line lock
and trans brake for powerful and controlled runs down the quarter
mile.
The hood lifts straight up and the front end tilts forward to give
you terrific access to the monster in this mouse. You're looking at
a DART M block 540 cubic-inch V8. It has been enhanced and
fortified with a Brodix BB2 Plus cylinder heads, Cloyes gear drive
cam, ARP main and head studs, forged steel crank, bronze bushing
full floating pins, SFI flex plate, MSD 7AL-3 ignition control
system, and topped with a massive Quick Fuel 1150 CFM four-barrel
carburetor. It's a big power package, and so the custom headers
deliver a thunderous roar that will scare the devil out of most
people. There is a proper stout Powerglide transmission with TCI
valve body, as well as input and output shafts. It feeds a Moser
9-inch rear 35-spline axle with 4.10 ratio for power take-offs.
Plus, you have a Heidts IFS front end, Chris Alston four-link rear,
adjustable coilovers, and four-wheel disc brakes.
There's a ton more info on this unique sub-10 second car, so gives
a call for all the details. But you already know this is the unique
and professional-grade drag machine you need to get your hands on
right now.
