It was listed for sale on Moparts (among other sites) several years ago. Car looked great.

IIRC, the day 2 stuff was a set of Keystone Klassics (looked awesome, IMO), a Sun tach bolted to the column but not hooked up, and maybe something else? Slapper bars?

It's changed hands a few times and has had billboards, rubber bumpers and rallyes added, looks good I think. Went through Mecum in 2019.

I wonder if it got a new FT to go with the new additions... whistling

I saw it at Carlisle years back right after he finished it, and it looked great. thumbs B4 the billboards & bumpers.
There were many pages here dedicated to whether or not there was remotely enough of the original car left for it to be considered not a rebody... But there was no denying the attention to detail & nos parts made up a fantastic finished product. I hope he at least got his money back out of it... it certainly wasn't a budget resto.

A Moparts member from Canada restored that car, but I can't remember his name on here. He was a restoration manager type guy who farmed out the body work to a metal guy who was fantastic at what he did. If the dude could step across 2 pieces of metal, he could weld them up! I remember that the Moparts guy did cars in his home 2 car garage and did VERY nice work....all while maintaining a full time job.

Here's his website.

I was wrong about the day 2 wheels. He used Cragar S/S.

I think his metal man is the guy who was at one time on Dream Car Garage?

Yes, his metal man was the guy from Dream Car Garage. And he screwed up virtually everything he touched on my 69 RR !!!!

The guy he uses now is absolutely awesome at metal, body AND paint. ... Terrance Saunders.

I remember Alan posting pics of lots of stuff patched and patched instead of swapped

I don't remember why, but for some reason I got a pm from Alan after he sold it. He said he didn't get what he wanted, but it did bring low 6 figures.

Absolutely! But the resto business seems to have waned somewhat so he's now advertising high end restomods built to suit.

Ive wondered the same thing.

I saw it at Carlisle the year it was finished. And the car looked good.


The after pics where someone added billboards and rubber bumpers,,,,is an improvment IMO
