Origins and Development
Kit Car Centre (KCC) emerged in the 1980s as a prominent kit car manufacturer in South Africa. Capitalizing on the global interest in replica cars, KCC decided to create their version of the revered AC Cobra. The replica aimed to capture the essence of the original while making it accessible to a broader audience.

Design and Engineering

At the heart of this beast lies a brand-new GM LT1 V8, roaring with 460 horsepower and perfectly paired with a GM 10L80 10-speed automatic transmission. The under-hood action stays cool and efficient thanks to a Holley serpentine system, while a custom-built exhaust featuring Magnaflow mufflers ensures that this C10 sings a tune of pure power. Add in an independent front suspension, a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.73 gear ratio, and 245/50R18 Michelin Pilot Sport tires hugging 18-inch Forgeline wheels, and you've got a truck that's ready to dominate the road.

This powerhouse delivers an exhilarating performance, complemented by a stainless steel exhaust system that sings a melodious tune when the engine roars to life. The Jaguar suspension, both front and rear, combined with disc brakes, ensures superior handling and stopping power. A universal cooling fan controller and aluminum radiator keep the engine running cool, no matter the conditions.

A Storied History

This Chevy's journey began in the 1950s in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, one of the original Chevys built in that era. From there, it spent its career in the Karoo, around Oudtshoorn, where the dry climate preserved it remarkably well, leaving it with no rust at all. When the current owner purchased it from the original owners, it marked the beginning of an ambitious restoration project that would transform this classic into a show-stopping marvel.

Why It's a Masterpiece

Enter Monty Booth, the mastermind behind an astonishing piece of machinery: his 1932 Ford Roadster. Monty is not just any car enthusiast; he is a bona fide Rodder and an obsessive perfectionist, pouring his soul into every build. After visiting countless workshops, I can honestly say Monty’s workspace is every car lover’s dream. I fought hard to suppress my envy, but as I entered, my jaw dropped, and “Wow!” slipped from my lips more times than I could count.
