'67 Fastback Rescue

She sat there abandoned for almost 21 years before we rescued her...

The plan is to rebuild the car with upgraded components, including a full "Eleanor" body kit make over.  Sure, for a measly $75,000 you can buy a virtually new one from Unique Performance.  But, what fun would that be?  The excitement is in the build...... 

Here she sat in the garage for almost 21 years.  The previous owner had started a restoration and lost interest.

Damian however was very excited about taking on the project.

So we had her towed home, and parked her next to the Damian's Cobra for some company.    The donor for Donny's Cobra and the '67 Fastback were both owned by the same person at one time.

Since the car had been partly disassembled, I took a couple of trips to collect all the parts.  Pickup_05.JPG (45744 bytes) Pickup_08.JPG (55665 bytes)
The car did come with new front fenders and some other new sheet metal.  Also I was amazed that the tires would still hold air even with a huge crack on the surface.

This is what it will look like when it's done....hopefully!
