Build To Suit: This Big Tire, Double Frame Rail, 1994 Chevrolet Beretta Is Ready For Your Combo.

I remember when the 1990’s Beretta’s were the kings of the strip and some of the baddest pro street cars around. They were small, swoopy, modern, and light so they made great race cars. Plus, the factory supported them because of their Pro Stock efforts, so everyone started making fiberglass parts for them. The bad thing was that they were front wheel drive cars, so it was a big job to make them rear drive unless you went all in for a tube chassis setup that the body just slid down over. This is how most were built, and this is how this one here is built. In fact, this one may have been a Pro Stock car at some point, who knows. It does have a steel roof and quarter panels which was required in Pro Stock until 2000, so who knows what the heritage is.

All the info from the seller is below, but here is what I’d do with it.

Since you know it is light, and has had a twin turbo big block in it, I’d build a medium sized LS turbo or Procharger combo for it and never look back. I’d have FTI build me a killer TH400, setup to leave in 1st or 2nd off the trans brake and would set the thing up for Small or Big Tire No Prep and get it on. Why not? It’s not a pretty car, but it looks well built. There are some tweaks to be done, for sure, and I think the price could come down a bit, but overall I think it could be a fun one to be out there hustling with.

    Wasn’t ever a pro stock car with a mild steel chassis, plus you can tell by the body it was built from an actual car. Pro stock cars would have been built using a roof skin and a pair of quarters. Berettas are a good looking race car though.
