The Backdraft RT3 Roadster is not a kit, it is a hand crafted replica of the infamous British roadster with an American V8 that captured every car lover's heart in 1965. It combines the historic looks of the original with the modern performance underpinnings of a BMW. The result is a stunning recreation that maintains legendary visuals while offering industry leading comfort and safety. Through continuous improvement and refinement the Backdraft Roadster has reached the top of its class for price versus performance and features.
This Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White Stripes Backdraft RT3 captures the original livery and combines it with the modern ride and performance only Backdraft offers. Under the hood a VMS 427Ev2 crate engine is topped with Holley Stealth Fuel Injection and is dressed to a degree only VMS offers. Included in this purchase is a full set of 18" wheels and tires for street driving as the Goodyear Eagle Billboards are not DOT approved.
