Mustang Mach 1 Pro/Street
The current owner is from Nanuet,New York and owns some other significant Pro-Street cars as well.
The hood now opens in reverse like a Corvette .
And poking through the hood is a custom made air box fed by two ram tubes fitted with high-flow air filters.
The owner stated that he is going to give the hood the factory black out treatment to match the other Mach 1 graphics.
Under the hood we find the huge by large big-block Ford that has been stroked to almost 600 cubic inches . The transmission is a H.D. Ford C6 automatic with a high stall converter. You can see the detail work that went into this build , the fire wall has been smoothed and set back and the engine has been set back at least four inches as well .
The cowl has been removed and a custom windshield was flush fitted to the opening. A single wiper was added to keep it street legal.
The front suspension uses a arms with coil over shocks , while the rear has a four link with coil over shocks and a panhard bar to keep the narrowed 9' rear in place.
The interior was up-fitted with a set of Autometer gauges and a Billet Specialties steering wheel.
A Hurst shifter helps bang the gears.
The rear fender extensions have been molded in , and the same goes for the rear bumper . The trunk is filled with huge wheel tubs and dark gray painted tin work while a fuel cell and battery fill up the rest of the area.
The fuel filler cap was custom made and now runs through the drivers side quarter panel .
The tail lights are custom led units.

Brad McBride Racing
Brad McBride is the builder and driver of this 1963 Type 3 Fastback, known as Blitzkrieg. Photo credit Jason Reiss/PDRA Brad McBride is the builder and driver of this super cool and fast Type 3 Volkswagen. Brad has been around racing his whole life. His father owned land that's now the pit area beside Piedmont Dragway in North Carolina. His father raced a roadster and later raced a top alcohol funny car called the Starr Rider well into the 1990's. So you could say it was in Brad's DNA that he was destined to be a drag racer. We asked Brad how he started racing and what his earliest memories were. He stated the first thing he raced was 20" Schwinn 5-speed bike when he was 12 or 13 years old. Even early on he was a fabricator and equipped the bike with wheeli...
Scott Robinson's "Bionic Wasp" 68' Camaro
Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off. Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him. The father and son ...

He was known as the Hill-Boys Race Team in the dirt/asphalt racing circuit. Although his involvement with hot rods came from his father. His mother, Marilyn, was one of his biggest fans and supporters. Butch made frequent trips to the drag strips to check out what was running. The “look and power” of those cars was something that intrigued him. Needless to say, he was always on the hunt for cool hot rods. In 1978 Butch was driving through a local neighborhood and noticed a 1939 Ford Coupe in a driveway. He decided to stop and ask if the car was for sale. The owner answered the door and agreed to sell it to him. After a quick look-over, the deal was done . He dove into his new purchase with a tune up on the 396 big block Chevy ...
