You mean the red one? I saw it in his shop all stripped down sitting in the back when he was in Hampstead. Don't remember it being wrecked though. He did say it was a father/son project but I don't think son was interested. Next thing I know I start seeing it at shows fully restored. That is one beautiful car.




Yeah, that was it. It was hit pretty hard; don't remember which end since it was buried in his shop. He did a 75/76 Laguna that was featured in Hot Rod a couple of years ago. Work was top-notch. His son is Kevin's age, but I don't think he ever got into racing.

I dug out a few pics. Here is Mike Mortimer planting the slicks in his 69 Cornet. Remember dry hops?
