This car is no paper tiger confirmed Bryce on Monday, January 18^th . Bryce, in a phone conversation, said this Mopar dream is the real deal.

Bryce will produce a number of these classic Mopars as part of a new business venture he’s created named B2 Hemi Cars. The classic Mopar program will be in collaboration with Mopar Hemi stalwart Ray Barton.

Bryce's Competition eliminator car will feature a paint scheme honoring the fallen Pro Stock Bike champion John Myers, who lost his life in a non-racing accident. 

 “The race car is going to be my flagship for the B2 Hemi car,” Bryce said. “This will be a nine-second street car with 800 horsepower, all aluminum Hemis. They’re gonna do wheelstands – that’s a necessity. They're fully NHRA certified for 9 second competition. They'll have air conditioning, power windows, power steering and leather interior. They will have a 9-inch rear, RAM dual disc clutch, show car quality paint and they're going to be serial numbered and very exclusive.”

A wheel-stander with air conditioning?

“Air conditioning is going to be a part of the equation because a lot of the boys my age and older, we sweat a lot and also when we've got something really nice like that we like to roll the Windows up and cool off you know?

Ask why really excites him about this new venture and Bryce simply responded, “1968 426 Hemi Barracuda -- remember that.”

The youngsters might not, but there are plenty of Mopar Maniacs starting to salivate over the possibilities.
