Street Freaks, Customs, Rods, Street Machines...60's 70's 80's

I’ve always liked this car! I first remember reading about it in Hot Rod back in the 80’s / 90's…

Looks like it was just sold at an auction in California and only brought $27,500! Anyway this is what the auction house had for a description…

Built by Al Scheib, son of auto paint impresario Earl Scheib, this Pro Street Plymouth is propelled by a monster 488-cid Keith Black hemi through a modified 727 Torqueflite and Gear Vendors 30-percent overdrive. The engine itself has racing heritage, as it was campaigned in the 1970s by Parnelli Jones in a funny car. With the 8-71 BDS supercharger, Hilborn four-port fuel injection and nitrous oxide it has been dyno tested at 3,000 horsepower.
