Description:

You are completely nuts. Just ask your spouse or that self righteous Prius driving neighbor of yours. You can't possibly create any reasonable explanation why you need this crazy tire smoking monster of a Model "A".

Except that it is so damn cool.

This car is the answer to the question "What happens when you put the biggest engine you can find in the smallest, ightest car?"

Mayhem.

. Make no mistake, his car is a wild Rhett Butler "Frankly my dear, don't give a damn!"statement. This is the kind of Hot Rod that would made Ken Block smile. Bring this little wildcat to church and there is going to be a lightning strike on the steeple. Proper ladies will know you are a bad man.

And they will be right!
