Thread: Deuce/Ferrari

Tweet

Was on that thread about "vehicle crossbreeding"and I brought up that famous Deuce with the Ferrari 12 cylinder. I can't remember if it was a V or Flat 12 Boxer motor. It was built in the 80's and is the forerunner of all these exotic motor swaps that are so popular now.
Anyone remember what it was called? Some silly combination of Deuce and Ferrari I think. Anybody know who the builder was? Whatever happened to that car? Hope its still around. Thanks.

from Street Rodder web...
"Then there was the Deucari built by Magoo in the '70s--a Deuce highboy with a Ferrari engine, which is still a hot rod that has the miles to back up its well-deserved credibility. Okay, that's a kool car, but wire wheels and a Ferrari engine in an American hot rod leave me kold. Call me old-fashion but I need eight cylinders and carburetion that leaks just enough to "soil" the intake but not enough to start a fire."

Thanks Techinspector 1,

Thats the car. Wow, still a beautiful beast 27 years later. Those wire wheels look great. Look at the huge profile on those rear tires! Classic. I got wires on my Cobra too- a nice change from the magnesium knock offs and all the billet madness.
Nice to hear that car is driven and has clocked some miles. Wouldn't want to have a 60k service on that V12 though.

i I SAW THE CAR IN FERRARI OF LOS CATOS CALIFORNIA SWOWROOM YEARS BACK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT CAR, I USED TO STOP BY TO LOOK AT ALL THE NEAT STUFF (RODS) THEY ALSO HAD ON THEIR CAR LOT

Imagine if that WAS a different car. You mean there are two Ferrari powered Deuces running around California? God bless America.

Brizo built a Ferrari powered duece that won the AMBR around '82-84.
