With a modified Speedstar body that's been completely reworked around a traditional '32 Vicky grille, this is the kind of car that would turn heads in black primer; and what better way to ensure sore neck muscles than covering it with some of the brightest DuPont available? A slick combination of Honda Milano Red and Mercedes Silver was chosen for the job and performs its task remarkably well. And when the car's 13 layers of paint dried, finishing touches included green and pink pinstripes that flank a yellow and orange divider stripe. Pry this coupe's snug fitting hood open and you'll find a fully detailed 468 cubic inch big block V8 that was professionally assembled by David Cooper of Knoxville, Tennessee. Straight from the bench this killer package utilizes a forged steel crank, forged steel connecting rods, 12.5 to 1 pistons and polished Edelbrock aluminum heads to create roughly 550 horsepower of unmatched throttle response. At the top of the body-matched mill, air flows through a polished cleaner to a reusable filter element that's perched above a 750 cfm Demon carburetor and a series of fresh stainless fuel lines. A resulting air/fuel mixture makes its way from a polished intake to the aforementioned heads, which are topped with a slick pair of polished valve covers. When those heads flood the engine's cylinder banks, an MSD Pro-Billet distributor sequences fire through loomed Taylor plug wires while spent gases are jettisoned through coated Sanderson shorty headers. The big engine's cooling is provided by a polished radiator that's fitted with a large electric puller fan and topped by a small chrome cap. And charging comes courtesy of a polished alternator that, along with a polished water pump, is spun by aesthetically pleasing pulleys. As with its tight build, this Ford's custom chassis was supplied by Alloway's Hot Rods in Knoxville, Tennessee. The big 468's power flows into a rugged B&M Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed that's fitted with a 3,000 RPM stall converter. That proven transmission spins stout 4.11 gears via a painted driveshaft and a polished Winters Quick Change rear end. And all that mirror-like hardware rolls on a gorgeous set of custom Boyd Coddington wheels which spin 215/45R17 BF Goodrich radials in front of 275/55R20 BF Goodrich radials. Open this Ford's suicide doors and you'll find a tasteful custom interior that was installed by Paul Atkins of Hanceville, Alabama. Four modern leather buckets are supportive, feel soft enough to take a nap on, and appear to tilt the passengers, no doubt accounting for the car's svelte roofline. In front of those panels, a body-matched dash centers white Auto Meter gauges above a custom leather firewall cover and two billet foot pedals. And in front of the driver, a color-keyed billet steering wheel spins around a painted tilt steering column. Fully sorted and ready to turn your dreams into reality, this awesome little Vicky carries exactly the kind of cool swagger every car builder dreams about.
