AUTOS CARS CUSTOM

The guys in the Boss Mustangs forum were cool and pointed out the cars above the track curve in the above photo... gt500 Shelby Stang, Porsche, Olds, Falcon, mini, Delivery Van, Plymouth full size, Corvette, 55 Chev, real AC Cobra (no copies back then!) and a Cortina I think... but go down a couple photos and look in the upper right hand corner to see what wasn't captured in the view of the above image... a real GT 40









How about that GT40? Effin cool that someone drove that to watch the races. Serious cool sports cars on the other side of that fence, no one drives cars that cool to watch races anymore. Who can afford the insurance? A Gt500 Shelby Stang, 911 I think, possibly a 427 65 Vette, Shelby 289 Cobra I bet, and a GT40... wow.

Very interesting that I've never seen the inside of one of these cars when it was racing in the 60's

Just a reminder that critters and snakes all love the secret hiding spots in cars, and I've seen a couple photos of mean snakes that are hanging out under the hood waiting for you to pop it open.

Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office. Once it went into the freight elevators and into that warehouse it was off the radar... til the attorney finally mentioned selling it to the single person that could reunite it with the once teenage neighbor kid

The original 428 was blown early, and replaced with a 390, but the sale went through at 25 thousand to Mark, because he'd known the seller since the 80's and the seller knew it was going to a good home finally

I love before and after photos, and am sorry that I didn't get a good front photo... there were a lot of people and lousy





one of the trickest coolest things on this car were the hood pin cables. Yeah, I'm geeked about some odd stuff

 These are genius details... why hasn't anyone ever done leather hood pin cable covers before?


Here is a photo fo the 55 Chrysler station wagon that JF Kustoms did 4 years ago... it shocked everyone... it's that good. It was in the Car Crazy corral in front of SEMA in 2009 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/entire-outdoors-at-sema-lot-to-look.html


It also put JF at the top of the custom car builder world, and earned him the Trendsetter of the Year Award by Goodguys for 2008. In 2006 Chip Foose awarded him the Design Excellance Award at the Grand National Roadster Show.
