Ricky Bobby Rat Rod

If the name Ricky Bobby does not bring a smile to someone’s face or a chuckle to their lips, they might want to get off this website and head to Netflix to watch “Talladega Nights” (2006) right this very minute.

This real life Ricky Bobby owns a rod shop in Manchester, Tennessee, and grew up racing a 1970 Plymouth Duster that his dad built a 340 six-pack V8 into. This rat rod has a 304 cubic inch flathead engine from a 1949 Ford. The body has been chopped nine inches, shortened three inches, and channeled four inches.
