Rick's "Tennessee Thunder" , (parked next to my favorite car), is a '68 Plymouth GTX with a 426 Hemi stroked out to 572cid. It has 10:71 supercharger, Indy heads, & 4" custom exhaust.
Without the two NO2 bottles behind the seat, it puts out 1,100bhp. With them, it's about 1,500bhp.
It has a 727 transmission pushing a Dana 60 4.56 rear end.

Rick says that he's just finished it & it handles nicely on the street. He expects it to be a daily driver, & will probably put on around 500 miles a year going to local events.

The paint is "Chameleon"; from just the right angle, the orange becomes green. I had trouble showing that in the sunlight, but you can see an attempt in the link below. I'd like to reshoot this in the "right light".
