Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission, 3.5-inch cromoly driveshaft, and Chrysler 8.75-inch rear end. The exterior was built to look like a Volvo 142 with many fiberglass panels. The car&#8217;s best a 9.05 sec quarter-mile and 5.7 sec eight-mile. Kim is currently rebuilding the car with a BorgWaner S396 turbo, larger injectors, and new head. <\/p>\n<p><a
