Only a few celebrities love muscle cars the way Kelvin Hart does. Obviously, he wouldn't shy away from adding more to his already robust car collection of muscle cars. The popular American comedian and actor, Kevin Hart has just taken delivery of a vintage 1969 Plymouth 'Road Runner'. The classic model was restored and customized to his taste, courtesy of Salvaggio design in Wisconsin. We learnt the classic ride took its inspiration from the Halloween movie franchise.

Kevin Hart's new, modified Plymouth is a powerhouse from the engine to the body. It offers a 426ci Hemi V8 engine, as requested by the comic actor himself. Reports claim that its Hellephant V8 engine features a CP piston, Magnaflow exhaust, Wimberg crank, demon camshaft, holy miniature EFI fuel injector and a 3.8-litre supercharger. The powerfully designed engine under the hood produces as much as 940 horsepower. Apparently, his 69’ Plymouth Road Runner has been made to look just like a night stalker, similar to what you will witness in traffic jams in big cities.

Kelvin Hart requested that the powertrain on the muscle car be linked to a Tremec 6060 six-speed manual transmission modified to cope well with the output from the engine. The rear axle, like many parts of the car, has been modified to make use of a gear section ratio of 3.70 and a nine-inch centre section. The Wisconsin-based designer has offered a customized frame on the whole vehicle. Salvaggio only retained the fenders, roofs, doors and rear quarter panels from the original body. Other components have been customized exactly to the comedian's taste.
Despite various modifications to Kevin Hart's new car, it still retains the charm of a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner
