Man, I had totally forgotten that Ruggirello had Jack Roush build a sequel car to Sudden Death! I had to go digging to find it but here it is and now I remember it mostly because of the big n' little TRX wheels. BTW, anybody that doesn't know the full story on those crazy metric-sized Ford wheels, it's worth a Google search and we'll just leave it at that because they certainly weren't one of Ford's better ideas. The 395-inch Cleveland in this car also had those crazy-cool Ford Motorsports valve covers that serve double duty as stud girdles utilizing very long rocker studs & acorn nuts. Love that idea! Talk about a car that was ahead of its time, this car pre-dated a whole lotta fast Fox-body street racers and it would be cool to know if it's still around.
