MAN you are so lucky to have worked on one of those!
My Old Man wanted one of those soooo bad he could taste it!
Those are so cool with the way the doors work way cool Truly way ahead of its time!Although I always felt that the grill area needed something more its still a cool car,
I believe this car Was car was sold a few years ago? at a Kruse or Barret Jackson auction You should look it up! It went for a ridiculous amount of money. I believe it was this car any way there were not many of these built.
I am Pretty sure it was BJ it made the cover of there Flyer I think too could have been Kruze though I get Flyer’s from both.
If you ever buy or sell at one of there auctions you get stuff from them for life :huh:Also How the heck did you get the other one there TOO?
Not one BUT TWO??? Man small world isnt it?
I like the Yellow ones front grill although the White ones grill is so extreamly unique It makes the car.Yes they are ugly by the way as you said but they are way cool!!! They grow on you

This is a really nice one
There were only 435 of these built and 6 Pre-production models.
I wonder if that yellow one is one of the 6 preproduction models? Having that diffrent front grill is a REAL interesting. as are the hood scoop and the fender mounted mirror’s Probably ONE of ONE or is it one of None?
Way too cool
the yellow one has been customized back in the late seventys it has a pontiac 421 with tri power the white one is the 10th one built an the motor thats in it has no buissness in it its outa one of the prototypes an no one knows how it ended up in this car cuz its not an f head motor of course the aircleaners wrong but thats the motor that came in it triple carbs an all so it makes the white one extremely rare the yellow one was wrecked yrs back an someone decided ta put that Manhattan grill in it i had some pics of a prototype with that same motor in it with the edmunds head an triple carbs i think kiaser was trying ta get the power up on the l head motors b4 they decided ta run the f headed ones rumor has it that they where short on motors an they pulled this one out from under a bench on the assembly line an put it in this car no fooling so if thats the case whats it make the car worth??theirs also alot of different thigs on the white one verses alot of the later models door tracks an some of the bodylines are different ya aint lived till ya work on those doors though :blink: :blink: the white one was tore apart for a resto back in 67 an stored in boxes until about 5 yrs ago man that was a joy to put together:laugh: :laugh:
ya see how the door handles on that white one point to the front???verses the one you posted a pic of or the yellow one thats a dead give away on the early build of the white one i read that the first 12 built were all considered prototypes i swear i learned enuff about these things that i could judge em at a darrin meet:blush: :blush: the build quality onthese things sucked $hit bigtime:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Way to cool stuff the BM
I would have loved to get into that one with you as it was being rebuilt, I bet the door issue was a bear too!As far as there quality goes well look at the time they were being built and what was available to them, Fiberglass itself was a new thing! I am really surprised Packard didn’t have them put one of there engines in them for racing! after all the thing was being built to compete with the Vets for sales at the time. If they had used a Big Packard things just may have swayed the other way.
Yes I did notice the Door handles, I wondered about that.
I like the modified one its cool, better that it was rebuilt and modified than parted out.
