April 2026 ROTM Winner - David Ross
David’s 1965 Plymouth Satellite is an absolute show stopper. It wears gloss black paint on laser straight panels and has just the right stance to let you know it’s not all show. When David purchased the Plymouth 4 years ago, it was hiding a 440 CI big block Mopar under the hood. When the 440 ate a cam lobe, David decided to go all in on his new setup. Fitting nicely between the fenders is a gen. 3 Hemi bored and stroked to 426 CI stuffed with components from Molnar and Mahle. It breathes through a 950 CFM carb on top of a Prefix intake bolted to ported Eagle heads and exhales through 1 7/8” Hooker Blackheart long tube headers. An MSD system handles ignition duties. A TorqueFlite 727 transmission loaded with a 4k stall converter sends all 620 dyno tuned horsepower to an 8 ¾” differential turning 3.91:1 gears. All that adds up to 11.4 second quarter mile times at 118 MPH in a full interior all steel street car. The Satellite isn’t David’s first muscle car by any means. He actively drag raced a 1968 Charger for over 30 years with his dad and owned a few classic Chevys (1968 Chevelle and 1964 Nova) in his teenage years. Special thanks to Jason Holland of Mon Valley Restomods for all his work getting the gen. 3 Hemi nestled between the fenders. Look for David’s Plymouth prowling the streets of Westmoreland County this summer!
May 2026 rotm winner - Jim leasure
Jim Leasure and the “King of Cool” Steve McQueen share one common love: Highland Green Ford Mustangs. Jim’s love of Mustangs runs deep and long. Jim was the proud owner of an ’89 LX 5.0 Mustang (an iconic ride in its own right) for 26 years. As life changes so do priorities and Jim parted ways with his beloved ride with a promise to his wife: “I will make up for this someday.” In 2019 he made good on that promise. With the help of his friend Bob Popson at Shults Ford, Jim was able to bring home a 2019 Bullitt edition Mustang wearing none other than beautiful Highland Green. It’ stock for now but packing 480 hp leaves plenty of fun on tap. With only 9000 miles on the clock, it’s a gorgeous low mile example of a modern-day pony car with subtle styling cues that makes these cars down right stunning. Jim loves the modern amenities like the crisp shifting 6 speed and soft black leather interior. His only regret is that he doesn’t drive it more! Congratulations to Jim on winning the Patriot Tire and Accessory May 2026 Ride of the Month contest!
