Brakes are too small, tyres aren't wide enough, engine isn't shiney enough.

Still, all that I can forgive, and it would be a very nice ride ...

If it was BLACK

[DaveHAT]

Dayyum Chilly nice find, but black would only devalue it ! :stick: :nyuk:

What a sensational retro/modern combo. Can you say Impahhhhhhhhla? :drool: :drool:

I like, I like a lot. :burnout:

[hotbox]

Awesome. anyone got spec sheet on it?

[SchrgdVSV6]

Awesome. anyone got spec sheet on it?
I saw a few photos of it at a car show... Makes something like 1200hp at the crank apparently :shock:

[ACT_Cross8]

Looks like they had to put it on blocks to get the camera under for the last photo. That is one sweeeeet car :bow:

[BlownVR]

Awesome. anyone got spec sheet on it?
It was in the November 2003 Street Machine mag.
1962 Chev Biscayne built by Troy Trepanier
406 small block with twin PT52 turbos
Dynoed 1200hp @ 6800rpm
4L60E (wonder how long that lasted...)
22 x 10.5" rear wheels, airbag suspension
2003 Goodguys Street Machine of the Year

[monarocv8z]

That troy trepanier is an absolute whizz with the cars he creates..
FYI his website : http://www.radrides.com/

[tuff304]

[XLR8 V8]

Gotta lurve that 'Cuda

[plonkerchops]

I'll just have Quadradeuce thanks :)

[Chris52]

That Cuda is just plain :cool:

[stingred]

:headbang: Imagine if it was RED . sweeeeeet.

[HSVQUE]

Anyone whos seen the episode's on Series 1 of Rides will know this car.. Troy was building hot rod of the year cars when he was 19!! Out of a Shed!

The Chevy makes something around 1000ft pounds of Torque.. Also it won pretty much every Award in its Class.. Troy has also build some crazy old hot rod/streetmachines with V10 Viper engines n sh!t hes a crazy mofo.. Likes to build sick cars with Nice engines/Engine Bays along with Big wheels tucked right up into the guards..

If anyone is into insane street Machines and Hot Rods The "Rides" Season 1 DVD Boxset is a must for the 50ish Bucks its a neat set.. Just ask for Rides at JB HiFi and alike if you cant find it.

[Goggs]

I love that guy's work.... He built a car a few years ago called "Sniper". I can't remember what it began life as but it was truly a thing of beauty once Troy had done his thing to it. Chip Foose is also an excellent designer of street rods & hot rods. Problem being that no normal person could ever afford to own one......

What he said

[BradSV8]

That Cuda is just plain :cool:


I saw the episode where they built that cuda. It is an awesome machine! The build took 7 months I think with 5 or 6 people on it. From memory they made a completly new custom floor plan to fit the trans and the driveshaft and exhaust in the trans tunnel, aswell as the wheel tubs. They removed the body from the chassis and re welded all the mounting points 4 inches lower.
They also beefed up the chassis and the diff. I think it had some sort of big block hemi in it and also may have been supercharged?
Thats just what I can remember off the top of my head. I would highly reccomend watching the show if you like that sort of stuff.

Yep thats my favorite episode of Rides.

The Cuda is an amazing machine, although I wish they went with Chip Foose's paint scheme with a black bonnet, roof and boot, a red pin stripe then silver on the sides.

[Goggs]

Was that the one that belonged to that comedian guy?? The car was called "Sick Fish"".

I seem to remember requiring "Private Time" after watching that episode......:stick:
