History The Kellison

Sue for what? He ripped off AC for the body, they ripped off a guy who built a one off sports car, and he ripped off the Ferrari Barchetta. So the guys who build Cobras, are building a ripoff of a ripoff of a ripoff of a ripoff of a Ferrari.

Since Shelby did not invent the body, chassis, engine, or anything else but the name I don't see what he created.

I do appreciate the cars he built but if there was ever a big fat blowhard who loved to scam the public and claim other people's accomplishments as his own, it was Shelby.

 

theres a guy in omaha, ne. named gary gorelik ?????? restoring one of these that was the cascio's steak house sponsored red drag car..injected big block chev ...originally built by tom emi ????? somebody should find them and tell them about this site where ever they are now.

Hi Gang...

There's a great Kellison group on Yahoo Groups and, if it helps you can check out the stories we've posted on Kellison on our website - Forgotten Fiberglass. Here's the link for the Kellison stories:

Kellisons doesn't come up for sale that often, so I hope with this post there is someone that knows of a Kellison J-6 Panther that is for sale. I'm looking for a J-6 that I can use on the road here in The Netherlands, therefore a drag/hotrod type of car unfortunately doesn't do the trick. The best I could wish for is a unmolested J-6 with a chassis/motor/drivetrain of a Corvette. In that way it will be much easier to get it road-registered in the Netherlands. You can email me at jojada1965@gmail.com.

This one still pops up on Craigslist, don't think they ever sold it.

 

Michael McPherson entered his full custom Kellison Coupe (cantered quad headlights, dual side vents and custom paint.) in the Street Sports Coupe class at the 1966 Oakland Roadster Show:

I missed a later model one sitting in an impound lot . I’m sure it was 440 powered .

Bttt

 

I got one this summer. I wasn’t planning to but that’s how things work. It’s a J5 on a Kellison chassis. 283 and T-10. I have all the parts (door handles, glass, etc).
