Default I can tell you one thing for sure......

Well,
knowing my friend Gary as I do, there is one thing I am certain of.....whatever direction he takes for his new car IT WILL BE STUNNING.....
and will also be different than the other ones, and we all know "7" is a lucky number!!!
This is going to be FUN.....as this story unfolds!
Best wishes on the next project, my friend!

Default Congrats!

Hey Gary,
Congrats on rolling the Kirkham. There's some lucky buyer in FL that's about to be grinning from ear to ear. That was one fine car.
Thanks for the timing of dodging the AER show - gives some of us a chance!
Looking forward to the next chapter in the Shapara Stories.

Talking kind of funny

Gary ,

I was just talking to john holmes the other day and he asked if I had seen you "new" 289... told him.... yea it's nice but counting the days until Gary rolls if you another car.

If you want a yellow pantera maybe you can hit him up

John,

I found a real nice car in Ca on the North Cal Shelby site and was pursuing purchasing that car. A real duplicate of a real GT350R and certified for vintage racing but had a 6 point cage, race seats and dash, lexan windows and the works. Car was professionally built also. I put a post on club cobra on Sunday two weeks ago just to see if anything would pop and Paul posted. He has an ERA cobra and this GT350R and saw my post. Anyway been talking to him over the last two weeks and had one of my old high school buddies who lives in LA go see it last week. I bought it Monday, he has his money and I have made arrangements to pickup the car late next week. Should have it 1st or second week of June..........
