Slide 1

One

The Fury's lowdown ride height gives the car an aggressive look, but it can sometimes be a problem on public streets. "I have to keep my eyes peeled for road kill," says John! "I hate when possum fur gets hung up in the exhaust system," he adds with a sly grin.

Slide 2

Two

Yep, it's got a Hemi. The astonishing, all-aluminum engine is dressed for the show and built to go-fast! Custom touches include a Billet Specialties air cleaner that was milled for clearance, painted, and engraved with "Furyous 528."

Slide 3

Three

From top to bottom, this Chrysler is a true star! If you need proof, check out the custom Pentastar logo Bud added to the chassis. It's an awesome detail that few get to see, as the Plymouth's primary purpose is to dominate the strip and cruise the street.

Slide 4

Four

The perfectly executed interior is all business. The roll cage has a removable crossbar so John can enter and exit with ease. Although John wanted this hot rod to have everything, space limitations meant he had to sacrifice power steering in favor of air conditioning.

Slide 5

Five

The trunk hinges had to be moved inboard to clear the massive real wheel tubs. A battery box, Summit 20 gallon fuel cell, and fire extinguisher occupy the remaining space in the expansive cargo bay.

Slide 6

Six

Don't call it a trailer queen-this car was built to drive! John adds about 1,000 miles to the odometer every year-sometimes a 1/4 mile at a time on the dragstrip!
