History old barris custom at our party and we didnt know it!

There was a great car turn out at our wedding/party but there were some that i didnt know showed up.

my dad was over sunday looking throu some of my car craft 60's mags looking for some t bucket chassis build articles, im sure some of you know which ones im talking about, neat old articles. well anyways he grabbed the 3 carcrafts i had and went on his way.

well my dad was over tonight dropping of some steal and and he asked me about the old custom T bird that was at our party, asking if i remembered seeing it there, i said kinda, he said it was on the cover of one of the car crafts i had borrowed him, but we werent just sure yet if it was the same car, well with a little bit of digging we figured out it was.

first is the only pic i have of it at the party, pretty distinctive.

second is a link to the barris book with some info about the car, a pic on page 22 and some info on page 23

the dick axcell 62 ford t bird.

kinda neat, if i new it was what it was i would have snapped a few more pics, maybe some one at the party has some pics of it.

just though it was neat

heres a link to the barris book

 

and it was a cover car of the 1964 july car craft

 

As soon as i saw the scoop i knew exactly wich one it was...thats kool to know its still rolling around!!

 

Or is it a clone?

 

I remember seeing it there and thinking to myself " I wonder if thats an old kustom"

Who owns it Jeff?

 

i dont know, i dont think it is, too damn close, well at least from what i can see, i think i know who owns it but not sure on his name, im gonna see what else i can find out.

Huh

It's been at Back to the 50's several years now, even having been driven in the rain.

 

I was thinking I have seen it around

 

With out its history I bet people don't even give it a second look. If joeshmo built that and posted it here hardly any one would like it. I guess its like everything else it all in the name.

 

your wedding/party and you didnt know who it was?

 

sometime people bring freinds along, or some people just show up, i know who it is i just never catch his name, i see him at all the swaps and talk to him, just dont know his name

i was hoping youd chime in Mark, i wasnt sure, that was the only pic i had of the car at the party and i didnt look at it close enough to know for sure.
