    Don't know, just hope nobody ever decides to change it. It is my favourite shoebox, period. Though if I ever win the lottery and buy it I would put a flathead back in. Ok, that was just a dream>

    that car used to be in Torrance, Ca. I remember going surfing at the Avenues and seeing it parked on the Esplanade in 2004 and turning around and talking to the owner. Think he was in the Shredders? Amazing chop, and the owner was really down to earth dude too...
     
  10. Yea he's my buddy we been wondering what happen to this car was hoping to get it back

    I hauled it from LA to KC for DLW. Although I'm fairly sure it's been sold since.

    That car has a great chop for a coupe...however, I think the Buster Litton Ford was THE BEST coupe chop ever...
     
  25. you got pics of the Buster Litton Ford
     
  26. now i recall that car looks somewhat like weesners car different look has the look and the flow but personaly not my taste....i guess every one has there own taste in vehicles

    There are a ton of pics of it on Rikster's site...Weesner's shoebox is nothing like Buster Litton's...but Weesner did get his extended head light idea from the Wally Welch Merc. Litton's car has Studebaker fenders grafted on...

    I've also been wondering where this Bill Hines chopped shoebox went- used to see it all over So Cal then I heard it left the state...I hope someone has finished it by now???

    Haha I can't believe you actually took the bet, you like this car so much and don't even know what year it really is. I'm sure you've asked Johnny by now so like they said in Goodfellas "****you pay me"
