MADD MAXX

1970 Mustang Fastback 545 CJ

On a cold dark night, you can hear the beast in the distance...is it a fire breathing dragon come to devour the souls of sinners? Instilling fear and awe and when it accelerates, you experience the true Lord of Justice of the road. The most feared legend of the American back roads, the evolution of evil on the streets is MADD MAXX - a venomous masterpiece built by Dark Horse Customs in northern California.

545 MADD MAXX, 6 speeds, 800 hp, with manual steering and brakes, the MADD MAXX will drive you if you don't drive it, a speed demon legend of the streets. The sound of the beast can only be compared to that of a dragon instill's fear and respect in all the small blocks across the land.

When the sun falls and the darkness has risen, a demon of God rises from the ashes that can be heard for miles. The sound that can only be compared to that of a dragon instill's fear and respect in all the small blocks across the land. MADD MAXX eats most comp street rods for breakfast without fuel injection, a blower or a turbine. Thats right, 92 octane straight down the gullet with ports the size of silver dollars. MADD MAXX reminds us of the time when men were men and muscle, steel and determination won the west and made the world we live in today, before millenials and worm boys ran amok. DHC (Dark Horse Customs) make monsters. Cryogenically sealed engines blocks, triple titanium timings chains, Edelbrock port matched Trickflow heads with a guzzling 1250cfm Edlebrock carb, Comp Cam internals, T56 Magnum 6 speed with 750 hp scattershield, pushing raw power to a massive custom made Moser rear end. The MADD MAXX is tooled to travel at fast speeds for long distances, imagine a NASCAR / Drag Car / Batmobile from Hell all in one.

​
