A great customer of ours, whom we just finished up a full restoration of his 77 Chevy C10 pickup, was the lucky winner of a brand new, built to his specifications, Richard Petty Superbird! Based off of the new Challenger! Well, Richard is going to deliver the car in person to him! We were invited to attend the unvailing and were encouraged to invite people who we felt would enjoy this event. So, I wanted to extend the invitaion to my FABO family! Everyone is welcome to bring their Mopar to this event as there will be plenty of parking available. Please post here if you will be able to attend the event. Thanks!

Here are some pictures from the event yesterday. It was an awesome time! Got to hang out with C and her husband while we waited for Richard to arrive. He drove the car in!! He is a very nice man, and it was an honor to meet him.

You had a great turn out. Who got the Bird?

These folks here. The car is amazing looking in person. The final dyno numbers were 760hp at the wheels with over 600tq. All from an Arrington built 426 stroker and a Magnuson supercharger. The thing is a BEAST! Upgraded coilover suspension and GIGANTIC brakes. Jim and his wife and damn lucky!

Oh, I thought you meant Elvis...

 

[pettybludart]

I sure wish I could,ve been there just to meet The King,I,ve been a fan of his since back in the day.The car sounds like its a beast and doesn,t look to bad either.(not a big fan of the wing)
