The ex-Billadeau Super Stock Belvedere Wagon is back on the street with a modern edge. New owner Jamie had us install a 6.1 litre Gen III Hemi with a 727 transmission. Other features include Hotchkis torsion bars, super stock springs and a chromoly roll bar. This new set up produced 331hp at the rear wheels.

Adrian’s ’66 Dodge Charger
Adrian’s early Charger was fitted with a 493ci motor, a new transmission, a Sure Grip and a Turbo Action shifter was installed in the original centre console. The hood scoop was also fitted.
The Charger returned, now complete with a period NASCAR paint scheme, to be fitted with an MSD, torsion bars, Super Stock springs and new Flowmasters exhausts.
Adrian has continued to develop the Charger over the years and his most recent visit to Billadeau Speed was for a Dana 60 and Caltracs to be fitted.
’71 Plymouth Barracuda Project
This was another Billadeau project car, a ’71 Cuda. Progress was steady but we got there in the end!

Dave Billadeau’s Plymouth Superbird
Time for another Billadeau project car – a Superbird clone. Early work included a Dana 60 being built, painting the engine bay, fitting a roll cage and getting the front suspension built and powder coated…
The Superbird came together and the HEMI took residence. Making 857HP it was good enough for strong 9 second quarter miles at over 140mph! After a couple seasons in American Super Stock, the car eventually moved on to a new owner.
