John is like us, has a huge passion for 4 wheels. Having owned over 40 V8 powered vehicles over the last 20 years his passion might be called obsession.

18 months ago John needed a new project…to keep. He has always been a fan of the old NASCAR drag racing scene from the 60′s so he wanted to build a Galaxie that reflected this time when things were simpler. Going faster involved fitting more carbs and a bigger engine.

He did just that with a 545ci big block providing 731 foot pounds of torque at 2000rpm. Go out and check the new stands for more info on Johns amazing ride in NZV8 Feb 2011 issue 81.
