My yank tank is a hauler that i use to drag my European cars when they're not running. The 300lbs ranch hand bumper in front of the 7.3 liter cast iron diesel engine helps with over steer.

Got to love a 7.3 powerstroke, mine only had 19k KM's on it when I got it! Just over 80k now.

That's a rare one. I've not seen a duallie with the short cab before.

Wish I'd kept my 350. The 7.3PS is an awesome motor. I had an Edge tuner on mine, and it was insane.

You have many miles to go. Mine has 380k miles and still pulls like a train.

Currently in the shop being measured up for a full tube chassis, IFS, all alloy small block Ford with Fuel Injection and about 650BHP, fabricated 9" rear with 4 bar and coilovers.

Should look something like this by next summer:

It is a lot of fun to drive. The HP is insane and puts a big smile on my face whenever I take it out but of course that much HP can't be used anywhere near its potential except on a race track, which I will probably never visit.

BTW, I have a "practical" car: The Hellcat shares a carport with this:

Love it! But low roofline definately not built for us tallies!



Not built for UK garages either, but it does fit.
you're obviously a LOT thinner than I!
I'm so confused!


A friend helps you push it in and pull it out?

I'm surprised Targa Florio is still in business, after my experience with him a few years ago. The guy's a crook.

I bought a yellow Hennessey Camaro from him around 6 years ago. You may be able to see it if his website still has a list of cars sold. PM me for details, if you're interested. And check your wheel nuts.....

Very nice yes

Looking to bolt on a K&N filter to mine... Rather sceptical of the claimed 18hp gain, but I gather the sound is nice.

UK/Euro spec from the mirrors? Radiator grille's different to mine - kinda like the Camaro decals along the skirts thumbup

That's a shame to hear. Much nicer as it is/was.

Looks cool. Do you think you'll have any issues with the IVA?
