1840 horsepower at 3,000 rpm. Cliff Hix’s scratch-built hot rod, with a V-12 Allison engine from a P-38 fighter plane



Thanks Robert!

The body started as a fiberglass, ’27 T bucket, but Hix and his younger brother, Dan, from Arkansas, stretched it to accommodate the rear-mounted radiator. Going fast is nothing new to these guys. They drag raced for years, and set an A Gas Supercharged speed record of 124 miles per hour in the quarter mile in 1958.
