Here is your chance to possess a very rare Backdraft Racing Gulf Heritage Edition RT4 roadster. This sleek beast sports the distinctive racing paint scheme of the ’60s-era Gulf Racing Team. Propelling this road rocket is a 427W crate engine from Ford Racing and a Sniper EFI… delivering a robust 535 hp and 545 ft./lbs. torque! The interior is also one-of-a-kind, boasting diagonally-stitched leather panels, black hardwood-rimmed steering wheel and colour-matched Gulf Heritage gauges with aircraft style bezels.

In addition, you get a heater for comfort, clear film for paint protection, and LED headlights for clear visibility.

Don’t let this road rocket pass you by. Less than 1 year old and professionally handcrafted by Radical Roadsters of Texas.
