Description
This Ford-style highboy roadster was reportedly built by Don’s Hot Rods in Germantown, Ohio around 2001 and features a steel Brookville Roadster body affixed to a boxed and reinforced frame from Just a Hobby. Power is supplied by a Chevrolet 383ci stroker V8 equipped with a Street Demon carburetor and paired with a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a quick-change rear end with adjustable coilovers and disc brakes along with interior upholstery by Paul Atkins. The fenderless Brookville Roadster steel body is finished in yellow and is affixed to a boxed and reinforced Just a Hobby frame that has reportedly been extended by 3? and kicked up 1 1/2? at the front. Exterior features include a chopped windshield, H4 headlamps, and dual side mirrors. Polished 17? front and 18? rear Billet Specialties wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Comp T/A tires that measure 205/50 and 295/45 respectively. Wilwood disc brakes with stainless steel lines are fitted at all four corners, and the car is equipped with a dropped solid front axle with transverse leaf springs, adjustable Alden rear coilovers, and Posies Super Slide springs. The cabin was upholstered by Paul Atkins Interiors of Hanceville, Alabama and features a bench seat, a steering wheel with polished aluminum spokes, a chrome shift knob, and lap belts. Centrally-mounted AutoMeter instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. Total mileage is unknown. The Chevrolet 383ci stroker V8 is equipped with a Street Demon carburetor and ribbed valve covers.
