The heart of the Watusi Zombie is a Cadillac V8 engine, known for its power and reliability. This choice of engine gives the truck a powerful performance edge, with a deep, rumbling exhaust note that's quintessential to hot rodding. The truck's design is a nod to the golden age of hot rods, with a low-slung stance, gleaming chrome, and a meticulously polished body. The attention to detail reflects the show car culture of the late 1950s and early 1960s, where aesthetics were just as important as performance. The cab has been customized for a streamlined, sleek appearance, featuring custom paintwork, pinstriping, and other period-correct details that make it a show-stopper. The interior carries the same retro theme, with custom upholstery, a classic dashboard, and some unique, vintage-inspired touches. The blue-tinted windows add to the car's cool, custom vibe, enhancing its appeal.
