DOMINIC COSTA

Street Machine Australia

May 2025

PORT STEPHENS, NSW

- IAIN KELLY

THE PT Cruiser is as popular with street machiners as a fart in a spacesuit, but some brave souls like Dominic Costa see potential in the model. Dominic took a burned-up wagon and chopped it down into a big-block-powered ute. We caught up with him at the 2025 Hawks Nest Motorfest to find out the back story on his 'PT Bruiser'.

This thing is off its head, Dominic! How did you get the idea to build a V8 PT Cruiser ute?

I've played around with other hot rods, but I wanted to build a one-off car. I've always been a Chrysler man, right back to the late 60s, so this started as a write-off with an engine fire. I decided the ultimate idea was to put a V8 in there, as everyone said there was no room for it, but I figured there would be a way to do it.

What is the base car and parts used?

SIMO SAYS

THE recent passing of our Dirty Stuff columnist, Noel Tuckey, was a sad loss for the street machining community, particularly the many of us who’d enjoyed reading Noel’s mechanical musings over the past 40-plus years.
