TorqStorm Supercharged - Fiberglass Body - Ford 9 rear end (Please
note: If you happen to be viewing this vehicle on a website other
than our main website, it's possible that only some of our many
photographs of this car are presented due to website limitations.
To be sure you access all the photographs, please go to our main
website: Garage Kept Motors.) Here is a jaw dropping 'Cuda that we
could write pages and pages about, but we'll have to do our best to
keep the description on the shorter side. Not to say that it isn't
worth reading our description, but we know that many people will
first jump right to the pictures (we understand!) so the real short
and sweet description is as follows. The car features a Downs
Performance full fiberglass body which was displayed at SEMA 2014,
Art Morrison Max G Chassis, 6.4 Liter HEMI w/TorqStorm
Supercharger, TR6060 transmission, Ford 9 rear end, custom wheels,
Wilwood brakes, roll cage, and custom seats. High visibility paint
in bright orange covering the body makes this 'Cuda hard to miss,
and in addition to the loud paint color, the body is all composite.
The car was acquired by our client as a pile of parts, and he has
since transformed the car into a street and autocross monster. The
body is a full fiberglass shell - including the floor and doors
which was actually a Downs Custom Performance Body that was
displayed at SEMA in 2014. A one piece front end adds to the cool
factor and is in keeping with the lightweight race theme. A front
spoiler, rear spoiler, and graphics give the car a more aggressive
look. We like the way the rear fender has a slight curve upward
that lines up with the adjustable rear spoiler. Currently the only
pieces of the exterior that are actually Chrysler are the bumpers,
front and rear glass, and the tail lights. The exterior of the car
looks absolutely amazing - the fit and finish are great for being a
composite car. The fit and finish are a testament to the care taken
when the car was built. Once the driver's door is clicked open and
you look inside it is immediately obvious that this car means
business. Roll cage, Wilwood pedal box, custom CNC machined center
console, VFN Dashboard, RaceQuip harnesses, removable Grant
steering wheel, custom Classic Instruments gauges, and back seat
delete are just a few of the highlights of the interior. Once
strapped in, the flick of a few switches, and turn of a key brings
the engine to life. Under the hood is a 6.4Liter fuel injected HEMI
mated to a TR6060 6-speed manual transmission with a custom CNC
machined shifter. Strapped to the HEMI is a TorqStorm supercharger
that helps pump out 520 horsepower to the rear wheels. With that
kind of power good brakes are important, and this car has an
awesome setup. Wilwood 13 rotors can be found at all 4 corners of
the car with 6 piston Superlite calipers in the front and 4 piston
Superlite calipers in the rear. ET LTIII Wheels wrapped in sticky
BFGoodrich tires measure 18x11 in front and 18x12 in the rear. An
Art Morrison Max G frame sits under the body. A Ford 9 rear end
with 3:70 gears sits between the rear wheels. Other highlights of
the power plant include a radiator from a 2012 Challenger, Turn One
power steering pump, a CX Racing Intercooler with 4 core, and
Autowire wiring harness. Of note is that there were a number of
custom CNC machined parts installed throughout the car to make
everything work - no hodge podged parts here. This bright colored
'Cuda is a special car with lots of special features. Custom body,
TorqStorm Supercharged 6.4 liter HEMI, 6 speed manual, Art Morrison
frame, custom interior, and an awesome braking setup. Not to
mention this car has been a CAM-T AutoCross class winner locally,
and a strong contender in AutoCross competitions at national events
like GoodGuys Shows. This is a hot car looking for a new home,
which is sure to put a smil
