Vehicle Description
Barn Find like no other. This car has a great story that was told to me. Ford Vs Chevy. "White Lightnin" as the car was called ran Moonshine in the hills, valleys and mountains of Eastern Ky, Va, Tn, Tri-Cities area. It was chosen for it size (to haul more shine) Flip Folding Headlights, with Shine runners Covers) over the headlights (to run stealth and not have its lights shine for miles in the hills and valleys on night time runs) To outrun the Law, a 289 built like a NASCAR Engine to run high RPM's to maintain its quickness on hairpin curves and flat get it on the straightaways. Rear Disc Brakes added to a locker rear end for added slow down in the mountain curves, 2 1/2 inch exhaust with flowmasters all the way out to breath while screaming down the backroads. Fog lights were added when needed to help out run the law in Foggy Mountain Passes. Its Fastback roofline pierced through the air like an arrow. Add one Crazy A$$ Driver with nerves of steel and the quickness of a mountain lion and you have one of the baddest Moonshine Runners in East KY.
Now here's the kicker, with an Moonshine attitude that no one can out run me on the backroads, he got called into a race in East TN by the "Big Black Train" a 76 Monte Carlo with a equal car and driver. It's engine was a NASCAR prepped style 350, TH 400 and indestructible 12 bolt rear end. The hood was louvred to provide enormous air flow to the Fire Breathing Chevy Small Block. See the weeds growing through it where it lays today. Now, in the South, Racing is a serious sport, not taken lightly, we race for titles, not always for fun or money. That was the case for "White Lightnin" and The Big Train".
As being a man of his word ( a Southern code of honour) White Lightnin's owner and driver handed over the title to "White Lightnin". The car was towed away and left under a car port like a trophy for the winner "Big Black Train" which was put beside it to remind its owner of the legendary victory Chevy VS Ford Moonshine Runners.
Fact or Fiction, we know the cars involved were true, the owner of Big Black Train passed on some years ago, no where abouts of White Lightnin's owner was know after the race.
White Lightnin was pulled out of its resting place and was given a wash, it's engine still fired up with fresh gas and oil, it will yard drive but needs brakes and minor work to put it on the road again. View the pictures as she was found and with a fresh wash, how good she still looks. Call or text, make offer or trade.
Own a Legend from the days of Moonshine running.
