Jay Leno and the 1,000 HP Duster

Nice heart warming story.

Jay Leno’s 1975 Plymouth Duster has a story as powerful as its 1,000-hp engine
Quote:
The Duster came to life thanks to Paul Annunziata, a Boston-area mechanic who wanted to build a drag racer that could also work as a street car. His project started with a 1975 Duster purchased with $10,000 Annunziata won from a scratch-off lottery ticket. The real challenge was squeezing a massive 426-inch Hemi V8 into the Duster -- and then supercharging it up to 1,000 hp.
