This is a direct descendant of the famous Eliminator from the 1950s that was created by hot-rodder Duffy Livingstone. Based on Duffy's success, a plan was implemented to create a second generation Eliminator with modern American components; a crossover machine that theoretically could run with the fastest and most potent two-seaters in the world.

The beautifully crafted solution begins with DaimlerChrysler's Mopar Performance Viper crate engine that is a 488-cid, 465-hp unit coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. Total Cost Involved Engineering extended their 1934 Ford chassis by six-inches to accommodate the Viper engine and the longer tail-shaft of the transmission. Wescott's Auto Restyling produced a 1934 roadster body with a five-inch channel to afford a lower center of gravity to maximize handling capabilities. An Ididit rack-and-pinion steering, a Currie nine-inch center-section with a four-link coil-over rear suspension and a Panhard rod were added to complete the running gear. The front brakes are 13-1/2-inch vented Baer discs, the rears being similar 13-inch units.

Barry Brown's Riter Restoration conducted the expert assembly and fabrication. The 1950s Eliminator has a radiator shell that Indy Car fabricator Emil Diedt created in 1950; this has been duplicated in carbon-fiber along with a carbon-fiber hood and fenders. The interior of the Dodge Eliminator is fitted with B&B Cobra 427 replica seats, a SO-CAL Speed Shop four-spoke steering wheel, B&M shifter, Mopar instruments and Moss Motors Brooklands fold-down windscreens.

The completed car weighs approximately 2,700 pounds and has evenly distributed weight, front-to-rear, that enhances handling and braking. Corsa Performance Exhausts fabricated a system that maximizes power, yet resonates in an appealing manner.
