March 2025 POM Winner!
Hey Gang,

Our friend Penny M. shot this pic of my wife and I when we were on a recent Private Rally in South Mississippi.
We were going at or around the legal speed limit :rolleyes: when The Redbone Roadster was captured.

210647

Factory Five MK-4 #8515 is a little different because it is powered by a 383 Dart SBC spinning a Blue Tag Corvette ZF 6-Speed transmission.
1. 383 Small Block Dart 10-1 Somewhat Pump Gas Friendly Compression Ratio!
2. Eagle Internally Balanced Rotating Assembly With 6" H-Beam Rods With Floating Forged Flat Tops.
3. Dart Iron Eagle 215 CC Tall Port Heads with 2.05 Intake & 1.60 Exhaust Valves.
4. Harland Sharp Roller Rockers & Other Go Fast Goodies.
5. Comp Cam Extreme Energy 288 Hydraulic Roller Tappet Cam
6. Edelbrock AVS 800 Feeding A Weiand 7530 Team-G Single Plane Manifold.
7. Schoenfeld IMCA Modified Headers & They Really, Really Fit, But Stuff Had To Move A Bit!
8. New Old Stock Corvette ZF 6-Speed Transmission With Hydraulic Clutch. (.75 and .50 Overdrives)
9. Standard Front End Set Up With Ford Mustang Brakes & Forte’s .75” Sway Bar.
10. Standard 3-Link Moser Dana 44 (TSD 500) Rear With 3.73 Gears & Ford Explorer Brakes.
11. The wheelbase has been shortened by .875" to better center the rear wheels within the wheel arches and improve pinion angle adjustment.

They were all shocked at how easily our Hand Built Hot Rod could keep pace with them in the straights and on the twisty roads.
Having No Power Steering, No Power Brakes, No ABS, No Stability Controls, No Rear Steer, No Auto-Magic Transmission, Was No Problem!

Steve,

You broke every rule to submit your POM entry. Just like your build. you made your own rules!

We've NEVER had a POM with someone in the pic! Our POM pics are poses; not action shots! But you do your own thing. Always have, on this site.

Congratulations, You are the March 2025 POM!

:)

Steve,
Congratulations, You are the March 2025 POM!

:)

Thanks David!

> It is an honor to be selected, especially since Redbone isn't the most conventional Cobra.
> Just know that fellows like Jeff Kleiner, Henry Renaud, Paul Borror and Erik Treves all influenced me greatly during my build.
> Also, had my wife not suggested that I build this crazy car, when I knew we couldn't afford it, then Redbone would have just been a unrealized dream.

Steve,

This is a well deserved congratulations on getting the POM title. You not only built a beautiful ride, but you did it your way! Not to mention that you are always a solid contributor to this site, and your helpful and friendly welcoming posts do not go unnoticed. Now, get out of that car, take a bow and get back in and punch-it chewy! Safe travels…
