This may very well be one of the most legendary car builds of all time. That’s a big claim… but backing it up is 2000 horsepower, a base Veyron-beating top speed of 251mph, countless race wins over the past few decades, and a rebirth from a fire that could have ended it completely. Hold onto your keyboards, this is a story for the times.
TJ Russell fabricates Porsche as his day job but his real passion is for hot rodding. To that end here’s his superb 1933 Plymouth Hotrod. The body is the only original part left!
Great photo shoot here on Roadkill Customs
The workmanship is incredible as you can see.
The engine is a former marine Hemi and all the trim has been modified, copper plated and then distressed giving a superb patina’d look
As you can see in the videos TJ drives his s*** and isn’t a stranger to burnouts and donuts
This video has a good walk-through of the car by John Chase at Hoonigan followed by a tyre burning fest!
The Ken Block Gymkhana series has reached episode 10 and has given birth to the absolutely crazy F150 Hoonitruck.
After you have watched the video check the specifications out here
Watch the Gymkhana Files series on Amazon
Some highlights
The Hoonitruck was created for GymkhanaTEN and partially out of Block’s general love for trucks and also as a a tribute to his late father who had the exact same base truck back in the day.
