What was the inspiration?
We have a supercharged V6 300 that is quiet and unassuming so we wanted make this build aggressive, loud and something you don’t see everyday. Complementary opposites, a yin to our yang. Inspired by the Phoenix and rebuilding a life for ourselves. IG @ph3n1x_srt8
How long did it take you to build?
A little over a year because of hiccups with COVID-19 delays.
How long have you been building?
Building/modding cars together for almost 5 years. I’m still learning a lot and enjoying every minute. Adam has been building and modding his cars for his entire life
Club Affiliations

Your future plans?
Still wanting to do engine bay dress up, firewall cover and some airbrushing under the hood. Interiors accents that complement the existing red seats and carbon fiber. I plan on building a custom display in the trunk to honor my late parents and Adam’s late mother. We would also love to have Adam’s father fabricate a custom radiator shroud to have something in the car to honor him as well.
Vehicle history
We purchased this vehicle from a private seller in New Mexico in June of 2019. At the time of purchase it was not a widebody and was silver, bagged and riding on red Avant-garde wheels.
Thanks to
