    I’m trying to locate this car that I built in the late 1960’s. It had a 289 motor, with a 3 speed stick trans. And a jag rear end. The color of the car was red with a black top. I sold the car in 1974 to an person in Southgate Michigan. Any information on this car would be appreciated. Here is my email detroitdrummer73@gmail.com
    Thank you

    Hey Bob,...........Is this the same T that really knocked them out at the 1972 Nats in
    Detroit ?,... You built this in the 60's, right ? I think I know where it might be,... Not totally sure,.. but I'll do some detective work.

    Bob has been building Hot Rods sense the 50's,.. In fact heres a picture of Bob's 40' Coupe in the 1956 Detriot Autorama,..... Great work Bob !.

    What were the colors on the '40? You have to love two-toned rolls and pleats!

    The Coupe was black with a red & white pleated interior,.. I would have been a kid at the time,.. but a mutual friend of told me for years, how drop dead cool that car was, and what a visual impact it made.
