Henry HiRise
Anyone old enough to remember the custom car craze of the ’70s might recall Henry HiRise, which started out as a humble Ford Consul Mk2 and ended up as the creation you see here. Jacked up and boasting a 427cu.in. Chevy V8 under the bonnet, the bright yellow monster made it on to the front cover of the very first issue of Street Machine magazine in 1979. In more recent times it’s been restored to a similar custom spec, albeit now with a supercharged 468cu.in. V8 for awesome dragstrip performance.
