OVERKILL Owner Ben Bolton's Insane Car Collection

We should have known the bloke behind the unique OVERKILL burnout Cortina would have some other whacky toys in the shed!

Ben Bolton doesn't mind doing things his own way, as his wild twin-charged Cortina burnout car OVERKILL will attest. Previously powered by a twin turbo and supercharged small block V8, the Cortina is now powered by roots-blown Barra six-cylinder with twin war whistles hanging off it. It has to be one of the most unique engine combinations in the burnout scene today.


However, a quick trawl through the OVERKILL Facebook page reveals that Ben has a penchant for absurdity, and has quite the collection of eccentric vehicles!


His most recent purchase caught our eye - a green and gold Capri drag car dragged out of hiding in Victoria, but it wasn’t the blown, back-halfed Capri that has us captivated - it was the awesome tow truck Ben was dragging it home with!


Starting life as an Austin truck, and appearing to be around mid-50s in vintage, the tricked out toy hauler boasts a swathe of custom mods including louvering, wheel spats and other hot rod touches like the retrofitted grille.

With the bed converted to a low-slung ramp, the Austin was repowered by a Barra (we’re starting to think Ben has an affinity for the Ford six-pot!).


As well as the Austin and the Cortina, the Capri race car we mentioned boasts a 1000hp blown Ford small block, while for street duties he’s got a particularly cool looking white Capri with a single turbo small block that makes just under 400hp at the wheels - what a collection!
