Schwartz Performance never ceases building amazing vehicles. Take for example this 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda that arrived as a painted shell. It was up to Schwartz Performance to give the car a new life. 1971 Plymouth Barracuda.
Although it really doesn’t live up to the original’s reputation, the 2000 remake of “Gone in 60 Seconds” does feature its own highlights. Among them, we could easily call out Nic Cage’s tortured interpretation, Angelina Jolie’s blond dreads, and – above all – the ‘67 Dupont Pepper Grey Ford Mustang fastback impersonating “Eleanor.”
1952 Ford F1 with a Coyote V8
This 1952 Ford F-1 truck visited Schwartz Performance for a complete overhaul. The company started with one of their G-Machine chassis and added Ridetech adjustable coilovers, and splined sway bars. A set of Circle Racing OE wheels (18×8, 18×12) cover Wilwood 13-inch brakes with six-piston calipers in front and four-piston calipers in back. For power they turned to a 5.0 L Coyote V8 with a Boss 302 intake, Vintage Air serpentine drive, and Ford Racing harness and ECU. An upgraded 4R40W four-speed automatic transmission sends power through a custom driveshaft to a Moser 9-inch full-floating rear end with a Truetrac LSD and 3.50 gears. Schwartz Performance made extra room in the cabin by lengthening the roof and doors by six inches. They also moved the rear fenders forward.
