Msd True Street Challenge

Prev Next
And now for perhaps the oddest car of True Street: Steve Coccaro's '65 Metallica Malibu. Steve built it under contract at his shop (Murray's Speed and Custom in Pompano Beach, Florida), for a Miami radio station doing a give-away promotion for the metal band Metallica. The guy who won it wanted cash instead, and sold it to Steve for a song. It runs high-10s on motor with a 9.75:1 383 small-block. We asked the 50-year-old Steve why he still has "Metallica" on the door when he's not obligated to keep it, and he said, "I like Metallica's music."
