Chrysler PT Cruiser Restomod with 5.7 HEMI V8 engine!

A vehicle that many of us may refer to as "langweilig"Or"nothing special' has been transformed into a power machine that will make even the most discerning car enthusiast look twice. This PT Cruiser, once a symbol of mediocrity, is becoming a reality thanks to the visionary project by American Gasser in a completely new light. The original 2002 PT Cruiser may have shipped with a 2,4-liter four-cylinder, but that was just a stepping stone to what was to come. The conversion initially required one complete disassembly of the vehicle, including making a bespoke one transmission tunnel and another fire protection wallto the massive 5,7 liter HEMI V8 accommodate safely and efficiently. Together with one Chrysler 45RFE automatic transmission the powerful engine was installed inside the PT Cruiser.

By the Motorswap the vehicle became the beast that optical and in terms of performance impressed. However, the standard chassis of the PT Cruiser was not exactly known as "sporty" or even "high-performance". To do justice to the powerful V8, American Gasser therefore decided on a complete one revision. The standard suspension was replaced by a custom one front suspension from the Ford Mustang II platform and one Four-link suspension replaced. This not only ensures optimal road holding, but also impressive performance to match the new engine. The PT Cruiser was also given a visual appearance with a dark green Painting and matching Trim parts provided that for a cool Sleeper look to care.

Supplemented by the Rocket Racing injector rims and 9 inch rear from Ford, the unique piece now radiates a subtle aggressiveness that the PT Cruiser originally did not have. And what that Interior is concerned, the original character of the PT Cruiser with the gray fabric design is retained. A humorous contrast to the external transformation. With such a bold and innovative approach, the American Gasser team has proven that even one of the most overlooked and ridiculed vehicles can be a power vehicle can be transformed. The PT Cruiser with 5.7 HEMI V8 is proof that every vehicle, no matter how inconspicuous, has the potential for greatness.
