Goolsby Customs<\/a> built this 1969 Dodge A108 called \u201cVantasy<\/a>\u201d at their company in Hueytown, Alabama. Between the front seats sits a naturally aspirated 6.4 L Hemi V8 producing 458 hp under a custom cover. Behind that is a 45RFE four-speed automatic transmission sending power through a Dynotech Engineering custom driveshaft to a Strange 9-inch rear end. The van sits on a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis featuring C6 spindles, Penske adjustable coilovers, and Wilwood six-piston brakes in front and four-piston brakes in back. The body is covered in BASF Autumn Gold and Cool Vanilla paint.
