Newman’s 1967 ‘Pit Viper’ (#002) is 1 of 25 Mustangs built by Total Performance Inc of Kansas. The Mustang sports a 427ci all-alluminum small-block Ford mated to a six-speed transmission cranking out 575 horsepower. The car has a race-spec suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, 13″ Baer brakes and a Ford 9″ rear end.

“I first saw the Pit Viper in Dallas and instantly fell in love,” said Newman. “Brook Phillips and his team at TPI have taken great care of me and they’re just a phone call away if I have any questions. The Pit Viper, which I named ‘Serena,’ is especially popular at our training facility in Valley Ranch. We’re holding a contest on the Dallas Cowboys Web site where fans can watch a video and vote for their favorite custom car driven by a player.”

Other featurs on the Pit Viper include a steel custom hood, air scoops and bumpers, as well as a custom dash, console, roll-cage, racing harness and mini-tubbed rear wheel wells. The Michelin Pilot Sport tires are wrapped around 20-inch chrome Foose wheels. The interior includes Carroll Shelby-embroidered bucket leather seats and Shelby signature gauges, as well as amenities like air conditioning, power windows and locks and a custom stereo system.

Pit Vipers are definately starting to gain popluarity since being seen at SEMA and the Woodward Dream Cruise. TPI has sold three such vehicles at Barrett-Jackson giving it some good pub for future buyers who would like to own a truly unique vehicle.
