After an 8 month intensive search I finally found a car..
Initially I was committed to buying a 69 PT Camaro.
I just wasn't able to find the "right" one.
I expanded my search to also include 65/66 PT Mustang fastbacks..
Through a lead from Steven Rupp I contacted Datsbad
(Jason Huber)in regards to his 69 RS/SS LS1 powered Camaro..Fantastic car but again not exactly what I was looking for.
However Jason and his partner John Brooks
(G force Design Concepts) were building a 66 PT fastback.
"Project Quicksilver"
They were in the process of putting the finishing touches on the car so that they could take the car to the All Ford Nationals @ Carlisle.
After several phone calls and many e-mails I made arrangements to meet them and check out the car at the show..
The car had the look and stance that I was looking for.
This car started out as a no rust, accident free shell..Very Clean!
I did not see anything like it at the show( Over 3,000 cars!)
I signed on the dotted line and then sadly I had to leave without the car. For like most of us on this board I can never leave well enough alone.. I am having G Force make a few more enhancements.
