The 585-cu.in. OHV V8 is rated at 850 horsepower. The nitrous system adds another 700 horses. Engine details include a MegaBlock aluminum block and Indy heads, along with a Holley EFI system. There are long-tube headers, an MSD ignition controller, and aluminum radiator with electric fans. The exhaust features custom-made 4-inch pipe for maximum flow. Backing the engine is race-prepped three-speed automatic transmission with a reverse valve body. A line lock and trans brake were also installed. The transmission sends torque to a 4.10-geared Ultimate Dana 60 rear axle. The exterior was painted red in 2020 and the finish is said to be in excellent condition. Body mods include a custom-hinged fiberglass hood, fiberglass bumpers, and mini-tubbed trunk. The interior is largely intact, with a 10-point cage, gauges, Hurst shifter and other racing features. The roll cage has swing-out side bars and there's a switch/control panel mounted on the ceiling. There is no speedometer in the custom gauge cluster. The car's true mileage is unknown. The interior retains vinyl-trimmed front and rear seats, carpet, and upholstered door panels. The chassis and suspension have also been modified for racing. There's a tubbed rear end and Wilwood disc brakes. Reportedly new American Racing wheels and street tires are on the car. Built for the drag strip, this 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is a recent build that is said to be ready for the track but has not yet faced the Christmas tree. The highlights include an all-aluminum 585-cubic-inch big-block engine with EFl and nitrous, MSD Pro Grid computerized ignition (laptop included), a racing-prepped Turbo Hvdra-Matic 400 three-speed automatic transmission, an Ultimate Dana 60 rear axle, a 10-point cage, parachute system, and more. Lots more.
