Comments from the seller
The Super Ute
You’ll be hard pressed to find another one like this. It’s got plenty of power up front and plenty of base inside. It’ll be a hard decision to either crank up the volume until your ears bleed or to put the pedal to the metal and unleash the beast.
The big 420ci V8 beast has some big power and plenty more available if you want to get serious. The engine builder who also tuned it, set it up with a safe reliable tune so it’s not pushing the engine to its limit but it has the potential to achieve way more horsepower. It’s producing just over 600hp and 800 torque at the wheels on 98 octane pump gas.
It has a 6.0L block with a 420ci forged stroker kit and a 2.9L Whipple twin screw supercharger set up with an air to water intercooler. It’s also running an oil cooler to keep its cool. The only way to tame this beast is through a T56 manual 6 speed transmission, with the help of a custom made twin plate clutch and a Trutrac diff.
It’s very well looked after it’s my pride and joy and all paperwork provided.
It looks brand new with no scratches or dings courtesy of a recent respray. There is also a Walkinshaw bonnet scoop included on the sale.
Reluctance sale due to house purchase, my loss is your gain.
