The town of Lovettsville, VA, was quiet on this particular Saturday. It was a little too quiet. Thats why we decided to drop in to meet with the guys from West End Motors and fill the town with a barrage of exhaust notes and engine noise. The air was crisp and clean as we made our introductions and proceeded to our first stop, a 1994 Pontiac Trans Am, at least, it used to be.
The folks from West End Motors decided to put their own touch on the car, giving it a 383 LT1 built with an LT4 block for a power plant. Upgraded components include a 96-97 style optispark and ram air induction. Once started, the car screams with a deep rumble of pure fury as exhaust pours through the ceramic coated headers and out the brilliant sounding Borla exhaust system. The car utilizes a dry shot nitrous set up with a fully built billet six speed transmission. All of this is sitting on Eibach suspension. Its at this point we started asking ourselves, what does all this translate to? It’s fast. Pure and simple.
While photographing the Trans Am, there was a little commotion behind us in the shed. Our focus being on the Trans Am, thought nothing of the noise. That’s when the key turned and the ground shook. Out of the darkness of the shed roars what would be affectionately known henceforth as the BFT. The Big !@$#% Truck comes rolling out of the shed glaring down on us from its massively raised suspension and car crushing tires. The intimidating pose made it quite difficult to concentrate on the Trans Am… so the photographs turned to the truck.

The interior panels feature a beutiful mix of car crushing aggression, with a sophistacated diamond gauge panel. The BFT carries a particular intruige with it, perhaps its the coarse rural appearance… or the soft luxurious interior… but one thing is for sure. The BFT is impressive in every aspect.
Our tour continued to another impressive vehicle. The Deux. This particular Chevy Two carries with it a unique ability to blow out ear drums without the aid of a 2,000 dollar amp. This car produces an absolutely monstrous exhaust symphony utilising a massive supercharger and dual stage 150 shot nitrous set up. The cars aesthetic stance is equivalent to staring down a minotaur.. you just know this car aint no bull.

One car in particular has the attention of a lot of racers, particularly drag racers. This car happened to be shown on Pinks All Out and is one of the premier drag race cars in the area. The car itself, well, its a monster and a rare opportunity to view it sitting still rather than blitzing past you on the track. The car itself is a fantastic example of what can be done when you get a group of enthusiastic gear heads and a few cases of beer together. Needless to say the details will not be divulged however, this car has been called out for its fair share of grudge matches at the track and has yet to disappoint.

The guys from West End Motors have plenty of experience and cars to show proving they are not your typical shop. These guys live, eat and breathe automotive enthusiasm. The cars featured in this article are for sale, as well as a host of other cars on their lot to include the ever popular Chevy Nova! If you need work done to your hot rod or drag race build, bring your car to West End Motors!
