Description
Lot #1145 - This real NASCAR truck was purchased by the owners of Magic Customs, Inc., of Brook Park, OH, with a goal of building a show-quality piece that was true to the original NASCAR truck but make it street legal and user-friendly. This wasn't an easy task, but after thousands of dollars and hours invested, that goal was accomplished. Since completion this truck has been driven 550 miles, which includes the Hot Rod Power Tour held in Cleveland, OH. It's won many car shows, including the well-known Autorama. The authentic all-steel NASCAR body has many original features throughout and a Laughlin chassis; however, many modifications were made to make it street legal, including cutting the A-pillars and molding in the headlights and taillights. A front glass windshield with wiper, mirrors, horn and third brake light were also added. The original fuel cell with filler and vent was left in its original location and a new fuel cell with a custom filler was added. The body is extremely straight and was finished to simulate Darrell Waltrips Silverado NASCAR pickup. The truck sits on Aero Racing 15" black wheels with Goodyear Eagle #1 NASCAR tires. The painted interior is absolutely beautiful and well organized for easy operation. The center tube of the cage was deleted for the addition of a passenger seat. Some features include custom gauges and switches, quick-release steering wheel, Butler aluminum seats, Simpson seatbelts, Hurst shifter, and a cup holder with a period-correct NASCAR cup. The painted engine compartment is highly detailed and home to the GM ZZ4 V8 engine and many upgrades. The engine breathes out custom headers and a side exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, and is cooled by a Moroso aluminum radiator with electric fans and CSR Performance overfill tank. The engine is coupled to a Super T-10 4-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch that transfers power through the Ford 9" floating rear end with 3.73 gears. It's equipped with power steering for easy turning and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes for quick stopping. The front suspension consists of a stronger sway bar, lightweight springs, Carrera chrome shocks, NASCAR lower control arms and custom upper control arms, while the NASCAR rear suspension has truck arms and performance springs.
