Hi
Mal, good to hear from you.
The Rat Patrol was one of the fastest street cars in Detroit in the late
70's early 80's.
It
was tubbed, with giant 14/32 slicks, max wedge motor, nitrous. The car was named Rat Patrol because of how they
used to beat up on all the Big Chevys.

In
the Mid 80's the car caught on fire!!!!, it was disassembled and garaged until 2004 when I purchased it.
We
wanted to keep the theme of the old Rat Patrol, but with 2005 technology. |
We had the car painted black on a rotisserie, the
car was tubbed, a 16 point chrome molly cage added, all new superstock interior, a 500 Cu inch indy cylinder head wedge motor
added.
The rear end was changed to a narrowed dana with all strange components, strange 4 wheel brakes,
and caltrac mono leaf suspension.
