Blower guru Jerry Magnuson’s ‘Magnitude’ wins Classic Instruments Street Rod Of The Year at the 13th Annual Goodguys PPG Nationals.
Jerry Magnuson’s sleek and stylish ’32 Muroc roadster designed by Chip Foose and handcrafted by Marcel was crowned Street Rod Of The Year at the Goodguys 13th PPG Nationals presented by Bridgestone. It’s been a great season for Jerry and ‘Magnatude’ on the Goodguys event tour, having won the Street Rod d’Elegance Crown this spring at the Goodguys Del Mar Nationals.
Magnuson is well known for his Magnacharger supercharger kits. His Muroc roadster, powered by an LS1 Chevy topped off with an intercooled Magnacharger, also features a Tremec six-speed speed, polished Kugel nine-inch rear and a custom Kugel chassis with independent front and rear suspensions. Custom touches include chopped Carson top, DuVall windshield, hidden headlights, custom dash by Magnuson, Jim Griffin upholstery, tunneled seats and countless other subtle tricks.
The paint is two-tone butterscotch pearl with champagne metallic. In traditional So-Cal hot rod fashion, Muroc features one off Foose-designed “bigs and little’s” – 17x7-inch up front and 20x10-inch out back wrapped in Scorpion Zero rubber.
