OUR 1967
ET BRACKET RACE CAR
In addition to our award winning Cutlass/4-4-2
show car restorations, we also race them! Whether your Rocket Project is a
daily driver, an all out concours show car,
street/strip, strip only or whatever vision you have for your Rocket, Supercars
Unlimited has what it takes to make you a winner.
Since 1974, this 67 has been our rolling test
bed.
It allows us to test and develop new products
before we put them in our catalog. NHRA Bracket Racing
today requires an extremely reliable and consistent race car. Which is really the same thing we all want in our street cars.
Our hands-on experience assures you that we will
always provide you with parts we have proven to be the best for your
Rocket Project.
ROCKET POWER!
