<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThat\u2019s where the team at Mowear Motorsports comes in. They build high-end collector cars, customs and restomods, then bring them to auction where you get to purchase them without waiting. Dwight McMinn, his sons and their team are turning out a constant flow of top-level enthusiast cars and they\u2019ll be at Mecum Kissimmee with this incredible SRT\u00ae<\/sup> Hellcat engine-powered Superbird tribute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This car started as a Satellite shell, just a roller, and they went from there. \u201cIt has a Hellcat engine from a Challenger, 6-speed manual trans, Wilwood brakes and modern suspension,\u201d says Dwight. He noted the restomod market is hot now, \u201cClassic looks with modern performance is fun. This car drives like it\u2019s brand new.\u201d I asked about the challenges of putting a modern powerplant in a car never designed for this. \u201cIt took a while to figure it out, to develop the system we use,” says Dwight. “We\u2019ve learned and that makes it much smoother now.\u201d They partnered with some great companies on this build, including Riley Motorsports, who ran the factory SRT Viper team in IMSA. Neat to think some of that extended DNA is in this car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As impressive as it looks from the street side, the interior is equally unique: modern Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> seats feature full power. In fact, even the rear seats are from the modern car. A carbon fiber dash holds modern gauges, air conditioning controls and there\u2019s even an alarm system. The electrical work is key to keeping everything functioning and they\u2019ve got it right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re a small shop in the middle of the country, but we\u2019re really proud of the cars we\u2019re turning out,\u201d says Dwight. His sons and the team are doing most of the heavy lifting these days so he can focus on finding the next project. \u201cI SO enjoy the search. People call me right and left when things come for sale. I may have to hire more guys for the shop because I keep buying cars to build.\u201d When you see one of his cars at auction, you\u2019re getting the best of both worlds: high-end craftsmanship and instant gratification. Lot #F275<\/a> is scheduled to cross the auction block on Friday, January 14th, and we’re sure it’s going to go for a pretty penny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You want a special car in your garage. Sure, you could build it yourself, but you\u2019ve got a day job, a family, and things like engine rebuilds, welding and paint are highly specialized skills that most of us don\u2019t possess. So, you contract with a shop to build it, but you may not have a drivable car for two or even three years. Hey, this is America; we want our food fast and our cars faster \u2026 instant gratification. That\u2019s where the team at Mowear Motorsports comes in.
