If anyone followed the Blue Mamba build threadhttp://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=335244&highlight=blue+mamba or http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=653850&highlight=blue+mamba
Blue Mamba
The Viper V-10 650hp powered Blue Mamba Karmann Ghia is going to be on display during the Classic Auto Show Weekend. Don’t miss the opportunity to see and hear this one of a kind engineering masterpiece!
A little background…..
A post on “The Samba” website appeared detailing the build of a custom Karmann Ghia. The motivation for this build was that a Dodge Viper V-10 producing around 650hp was going to power it! Many on the Samba website panned the builder claiming it was destined to be another “hacked” and unrealized dream. Unfortunately the original builder became ill and ended up selling Blue Mamba as an uncompleted project to Keith Goggin who is a co-owner of Deans Rodz & Race Carz. As the project progressed it became evident that no ordinary builder was involved. An amazing amount of custom billet parts were produced. The engineering is state of the art. Co-owner Dean Laurent finished what is now known as “Blue Mamba”. Laurent estimates 8,000 hours went into bringing the Blue Mamba to life. Blue Mamba was shown at the Detroit Autorama. It qualified for the Riddler Award, becoming a Riddler “Great 8” finalist, ultimately winning the Lokar 2013 Car of the year at the Autorama. The car has won many awards from the 2013 Lokar Car of the Year, to Best in Show at events from Boston to Vegas. Blue Mamba has been a featured custom at the SEMA show. |
