South Australian Anthony Raschella had been a passenger in a couple of Street Machine Drag Challenges before, so last year he reckoned it was high time to bang out the five-day event in the driver’s seat. His weapon of choice: a retro race look ’72 Plymouth Duster.
The Petty Blue coupe came into Anthony’s possession early last year via a trade-in at his Just Muscle Cars business. “I had to go through the whole car just fixing other people’s screw-ups,” he says. While doing this, Anthony discovered the original build sheet under the back seat, which he’s left in situ. Don’t worry, he also added track-worthy mods such as a tacho and high-mounted shifter so that his wife Kylie can also steer the American beauty.
Come June last year, Anthony decided to make the car a Drag Challenge contender for the K&N Dial Your Own class: “I decided to have something with a bit of comfort for DC, and naturally it had to have chrome bumpers and be something tough.”
