That car is just georeous, and an all-aluminum, 485ci Ford FE motor that puts out more than 600 horsepower !!
Oh yeah !!!

With an exhaust note like that, the "revenuers" would have heard that moonshiner runner a mile a way (not that Buckshot Morris, Red Vogt, Lloyd Seay, or Raymond Parks would have turned up their noses at a LeMans-style FE back in the day (http://www.legendsofnascar.com/Lloyd_Seay.htm))

This well-turned coupe is a good antidote for too many belly-button "billet-n-crate-SBC" street rods!

nice...now we just need a few cases of shine in the trunk, a dirt road, and Rosco P. Coltrain and we could have a great time.

This is one of those "That Car's" for me. I was never really into that style car until I saw this one. Excellent job by all the guys that touched it.

I raced this car at Tasca Day in 2010 at New England Dragway. This is an OUTSTANDING automobile! I was equally amazed how quick it was.
Great build, Jim!

Sorry it's just me.
