Default My cars at Barrett Jackson. Thanks rob!

Special thanks to Rob for checking on my cars today, raising the hoods, throwing away protective plastic, etc. He’s a good man!
I mean it Rob, thank you! I have a 6 month old daughter and a 3 year old son and I just couldn’t leave any earlier than Wednesday. Thank you so much!

Both cars look really sweet. Looks like the weather in Scottsdale turns really nice about Wednesday so all should be good. I look forward to seeing some of you guys professional type Restomods in person. Should be fun and you will do well.

it’s all polished aluminum. Even the control arms, spindles, and hubs are made from billet aluminum. It’s such a fun car and simply a work of art. It was my personal fun car until I had children. Only 400 miles.

Believing with you they’ll both be homeruns. Both are stunning. Make sure we know the times for both. Larry

All the best on the auctions, they both look outstanding. I love watching the auctions when I “know” the owners and cars. Makes it that much more exciting. Thank you for bringing us along!

Chris,
No problem whatsoever, if there’s anything I can do to help please let me know. They are both outstanding cars and should do very well. I’ll check on them again in the morning.

They are inside a closed tent, but I’m not sure how the staging process works anymore. They last time I sold a car at Barrett Jackson was in 2011 and a lot has changed.

It only weighs around 2100 pounds and has a 500hp 363 Ford Racing stroker crate engine based off the boss 302 block. I hope whoever buys either car knows how to respect their power. They are both out of control fast!
