The Story of The Super Snake

Super Snake

Carroll Shelby built one GT500 with a 427FE motor and called it the Super Snake. There was intent to build 50, but only one was built. In 1967, Shelby took it to the Goodyear test track in Texas; put down lap speeds of over 150mph, and topped out at 170 – with 1967 tires and suspension! Today, that car is worth around three million dollars.

Project Comet Part 2

Comet

The Comet has been coming along nicely and we can't wait to see it come to fruition. As you can see from the featured photo a lot of progress is being made. A lot of the bits of daylight peaking through have been mended, but there is still some bits that need TLC. The car itself is almost complete; at least for this phase of its restoration journey.

1965 Mercury Comet Project Car

This second generation Mercury Comet came to us from one of our favorite customers, and it for one of our favorite reasons. The end goal for this car is to be the project car our customer builds with his son. It came to us with quite a bit of rust and rot and still has quite a bit that needs to be addressed. We wanted to take our readers through the restoration process with us and give you progress updates on the car; hopefully even after it has left the shop.

Another Level 2014

Another Level 2014

Though the show may be over and the cars are all nicely tucked back away in their cozy spaces, Another Level 2014 was one hell of an event. The show has come a long way in the years since its inception and we are glad it seems to have knocked out most, if not all of the kinks. This year, like last, the show was put on at Boomer's Stadium in Schaumburg Illinois. Last year was fun, and interesting as it was actually inside the stadium, but along with that came a lot of headaches.
