How about "Brutus"

Or perhaps "Fifi"?

Black Betty is very old slang for raw heroin, that looks like black tar.

The car looks good! Nice wheels.
I'm not much for naming cars but If I had too....I would do "Black Widow" as already suggested. The wheels even look a little spiderwebish.

"Serious Black", from the Harry Potter series, but the car is seriously black!
Bewitched, TV show
Samantha, TV show witch
Endora, Bewitched theme again
Tabitha, Bewitched theme once more
Kiss of Death, a little too dark
Witchcraft, Frank Sinatra song
Black Magic, another Sinatra song
Blackened, like a Cajin recipe
Well Done, black on the outside pink on the inside
Ace of Spades, speaks for itself
Acs of Clubs, played on above
Mistress
Taboo
Vexed
Spellbound
Zelda, a cartoon witch
The Raven, Edgar Allen Poe
Black Caldron
Witch's Brew
Scarecrow
Mysterion, famous '50's show car
Black Hole, most appropriate considering how much I have invested
Nightmare, it's been one
Black Shadow
Shadow
Shadow Chaser
Dark Shadow
Stealth
How about some eetails and/or pix of the build?

Dandy Don

Every Black car I've ever had has had the same nickname: "Black Thunder". Here's the current version.
