Bri’s ’69 Dodge Coronet

Having sold his ’68 Charger, Bri acquired this Coronet from Duncan Watts, who imported it into the country.  The car came straight to us for MOT work, wiring and to fit ally heads.  With iron heads, the car had previously run into the 10.9s in the States.

Several years later, Bri brought his Coronet in for an engine bay repaint, transmission rebuild and a 540ci engine was fitted.

Bri freshened up the Coronet in 2015 with some sign writing completed by Craig Ainge, while we added a little airbrush work to finish off the Super Stock styling.

Richard’s ’70 Plymouth Road Runner

A real Air Grabber car, originally bought by Dave as a long term background project.  The Road Runner didn’t really get the time it needed though and Richard, who had just sold his ’69 Road Runner, was up for the challenge.

Well here’s the result!  An absolute stunner, thanks to the hard work of Richard Ward, Ashley Rawson and Richard Granger.  Billadeau Speed built the 500ci Six Pack engine for the car, with Indy EZ heads and a mechanical cam.  The motor made 580hp with 600 ft-lbs of torque!

Mark’s ’72 Dodge Dart

Mark’s Dart came in for us to sort a few wiring faults.  He then entered the American Super Stock series… the 318 motor was soon out in favour of a built 340!

The 340 was rebuilt with Eagle Rods, KB Pistons, iron heads and a Comp Cams hydraulic cam.  It made 290hp at the rear wheels, so approximately 415hp from the motor.  Craig Ainge did another fantastic signwriting job giving the car a true super stock look.
