My obsession with transportation began in the late 50\'s when I bought a 56 Mustang motorcycle and it has spiraled upward since then. From there I moved up to a 45 cubic inch Harley Davidson that I purchased for a sum of $35. Shortly there after my father found me the deal of the century, 15 Kaisers for only $250. Although not all of these were in running order I managed to keep myself on the road all through high school. In early 67 I decided to make my first major purchase a new 67 GTO convertible triple black 4 speed. Off to the local dealership to order my first new car. My ride was dying a slow death and with no sight of my new GTO in the near future I was forced to purchase a new bright red 67 Ford galaxy convertible. The next spring a high school buddy wanted to trade cars for the weekend and that started my love of Mopars. He had purchased a new 67 GTX 4 speed, turquoise with white interior, we decided to make an even swap. Unfortunately my GTX had a very short life. A friend bought a new mustang and took it to the body shop to have the hood painted to look like a Mach 1, He borrowed my GTX to go to Punxy to see his girlfriend and took out 19 guard rails; needless to say that was the end of my first Mopar. With the cost of insurance on muscle cars I was forced to purchase a used car that I could pay cash for. Later in life with my fiances in order I found a 67 GTX that needed a total resto and the rest is history. Several years ago I became friends with Don Fezell, and Floyd Garrett. They inspired me to provide the highest quality products and restorations to the classic car enthusiast.
