    Project Blowfish
    « on: August 18, 2006 - 03:51:47 PM »
    Here's something for Oldschool, Ghost and all you other A-body fans. I'd imagine most of have heard of Rad Rides by Troy.  Seems they've built a 4-cyl. powered 69 'Cuda that just blew away the world speed record in their class at Bonneville.
    Amazing craftsmanship and technology turned it into one radical ride! :money:

    Fast it may be, but they ruined the entire look of the car with the nose cone.  The grill on the 2nd gens is the best feature.

    I think they really ruined the look of that car.
    The only thing that identifies it as a cuda now is the roofline and the shape of the rear quarters.

    I like it. Looks good...they needed to do the body mods for the speeds they will be doing.


    I don't think a stock grille would help their cause. Looks good IMO for what the car was built for, speed over looks.

    I wonder why they didnt choose a neon or something like that.
    I think they should have, it probably would have required a lot less work to get it all aerodynamic and 4 cylinder-ish.

    Because the car's owner is George Poteet.  From what I've read, he's a serious car guy with deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep pockets, who's not afraid to be different.  Here's his website. http://www.cameltoe.net/.  Once you get over laughing at the name, check out his other rides.
