The base : 1964 Cheetah Chevrolet Coupe
The project : Dirt Racer
The Cheetah, also called " the Cobra Killer " is a rare and amazing sport car of the early 60s, built by Bill Thomas, and powered by Chevrolet. (Chevy 377ci +500hp)
Only 11 copies were produced during 2 years( 16 in fact, but the factory burned in 1965). Some versions raced in SCCA, else in dragster, and also modified in street version.
Currently, there are some "official" replicas, the " Cheetahs Continuation", built also by Bill Thomas, 40 years after the first cars ! ( Officialy 31 produced, but in fact, much less^^)
This time, I've decided to create a real exotic monster, with a hard Dirt style :
Racing parts, small block Chevy 383 with a huge blower, racing bodypaint with shark tooth, zoomie exhausts, semi slick tires, etc...
Fenders are a bit rusty and damaged to accentuate this radical look. Enjoy!
