Confederate Hellcat F131

The "F" architecture of the Hellcat is very simple, yet incredibly rigid and light. It is the only backbone downtube, cradle based chassis to utilize the powerplant as a stressed member. It is also the last architecture for a crafted series built machine designed entirely by analogue methodology. Born from the draftsman's table, it has the essence of a finely crafted turntable. "F" architecture is unquestionably the stiffest, strongest, most rigid welded platform ever to run the Iconic American radial twin power plant.

In 1995, tooling for 500 G1 Hellcats was crafted. The last of these collectibles was built in 2001. All have been sold. In 2003, 150 G2 Hellcats were tooled for crafting. Ninety seven have been completed. Presently, 48 positions for ownership remain. Production is one machine per week. In October of 2007, the book will forever be closed on our beloved Hellcat.
