1932 Cadillac V-12 Convertible Coupe

This is the masterpiece, a 1932 Cadillac V-12 Convertible Coupe. Scarce when new, only 5 were said to have the rear-mounted spare in lieu of sidemounts. This is the only known model in existence. This car was a basket case, literally, when Dad purchased it. The building where it was stored burned down a few months after the car's acquisition. Dad persevered, contacting Cadillac for wood body frame plans, having the entire car restored over a period of many years. It received scores of 99.5 at its first two annual shows. The last year Dad showed it, it scored a perfect 100 and was purchased for the Jerry Moore collection. This picture was scanned from one of Mr. Moore's museum postcards.

This is the truck that towed the 1932 Cadillac V-12 Convertible Coupe to Tulsa and back. 454 c.i. three-quarter ton Scottsdale. Fenderskirts were added later.

1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am conversion Ram Air 3 4 Speed with A/C

Another one of Dad's special projects; this car is a "clone". An original Firebird, not a Trans Am, but rebuilt to Trans Am specifications with special parts. Another one of the 4-speed with air cars, a favorite combination of Dad's. Dad, my brother and I all owned first-generation Firebirds at some point; the '69 models were Dad's favorite.

1974 Pontiac GTO

1974 Pontiac GTO hatchback. This is a PHS documented GTO with 4 speed and air conditioning. This car received a body-off restoration with many scarce NOS parts. My brother and I both owned 70s Venturas back in the day; mine a coupe, his a hatchback. This bodystyle was always a popular one for us; this car represents the ultimate expression of the 70s Ventura and carries the cachet of the last (American) GTO. This car has a wonderful sound and feel to it!

1979 Dodge Little Red Express 'Lil' Red Viper Express' conversion by Darrel

This was one of Dad's biggest "what if..." projects. "What if someone put a Viper engine in a Lil' Red Express truck?" Such a neat vehicle to drive on the street! It got lots of attention, and were people ever surprised when they got a peek under the hood!

1975 ? GMC Sprint 'Grand Camino SSJ' conversion by Darrel

1971 Pontiac Grand Prix SSJ by Hurst

Dad knew as much about SSJ Grand Prixs as anyone on the planet. He could have (should have) written a book! This example is in quite good hands now.
