Rolls-Royce Dragster

Last night I went to the Grand National Roadster show at the Pomona Fairplex.  Anyone into vintage hot rods, muscle cars, ratrods, and lowriders should really check it out this weekend.  While walking around one car really jumped out at me.  I introduce you to the "Worlds Fastest Rolls Royce."

I know not everyone will like this but the work thats gone into it has to be respected.  I will say it could use a spacer up front. :biggthumpup:

that should be a f**kin crime. yeah, the works cool i guess but he chose the [I]wrong platform[/I]. :smiley-rofl:

of course what i would do would be considered a crime by most people too.

Shits got mad lip yo! Plus it's a Roller. VIP to the max!

i would like to see it run

I like the overall design of the car, but it's definitely not the fastest Rolls-Royce.

"do you have some grey poupon?"

I look forward to seeing this on barret jackson in the future.

what makes this VIP?

I want to take it for a spin.  MMmm leather wrapped roll cage bars

[QUOTE=AutofashionFred;223251]what makes this VIP?[/QUOTE]

Your right that its not our vip style i was just referring to the fact that it is a Rolls Royce.

NOT VIP! What a bad way to burn Money!

The roll cage is what makes it vip & the fuel management.

i saw that at sema. its prettty dope

[quote=bOosty.ViP;223318]The roll cage is what makes it vip & the fuel management.[/quote]
no... what makes it vip is the tv's mounted to the roll cage. :pat:

Or maybe the roll bar wrapped in that leather

If you want to be critical... that car is powered by a Chrysler engine, which negates it being a complete Rolls-Royce as well.

Why was the title of this thread changed to Bentley Dragster its not a Bentley.
 
and for toyomatt:  im not calling it the worlds fastest rolls royce im just repeating what the builder calls it.  and its still a lot more rolls royce then the jet car.

I think you guys missed the joke...he was joking about "VIP to the max" Definitely not VIP...


But anyway, that is cool as hell. I don't care who you are...a dressed up rolls with 1300hp...that's cool..Wish i could see it run...

OFF TO YOUTUBE!


EDIT:

The only thing that would have made that cooler would have been a stock appearing hood (and better front fitment :smiley-rofl: )...Hate those bird catcher scoops..

I saw this car at goodguys in columbus. Growing up in a domestic car family, i can tell u that the cars at these big shows are pieces of art and the best customized cars ive ever seen. Such attention to detail. This rolls royce is amazing. Always looking for something that hasnt been done and this car is perfect example.  The car sounds amazing and he was driving it around fairgrounds all weekend.  All the leather is handstitched including the roll cage covers.  Look up some riddler award winning cars. Last year foose had a car with chrome rotors, haha. not pracitcal but the car should be in an art museum

^^^^ I believe your referring to this beauty.

Ive watched several movies on the build of that car.  And its by far my favorite car ever.  Chip Foose is one hell of a builder.  Especially when you got over $3mil+ at you disposal.
