'35 Plymouth

The latest creation from Ruffian Cars, what started as a 1935 Plymouth PJ Coupe and a Corvette GT-1 race chassis is now an 800 horsepower, V10 powered mix of hot-rod soul and supercar engineering built to dominate the street or track.

  • Body

    A clean California car, this 1935 Plymouth coupe was the basis for our build. The body is all original, not chopped or cut up. The paint and patina is original. All we did was bury it under clearcoat to protect it for another 90 years.

  • Chassis

    The all time winningest car in the Crane Cams V8 StockCar Series, this GT-1 Corvette was built by Tommy Riggins and piloted by David Machavern to 30 wins and three V8 Sock Car championships. The chassis now forms the underpinnings of the most radical street legal '35 Plymouth ever created.

  • Power

    The Viper V10 might be the coolest modern American muscle engine ever built and this 9 liter motor been rebuilt by the pros at Prefix Race Engines. It has been stroked to 550 cubic inches, has forged internals and made 803hp and 741 lbft of torque on pump gas.
