LOOOOOOOOONG day. Firts I had to drive about 1 1/2 hours out to do all these cars(5 hours), then I had to drive another hour out to a different place to do a fullsize chevy(1 hour) then another hour back home. I'm exhausted. Anyway no interior pics cause they're all pretty well kept. I've known them for a very long time and the reason for the "MTV Cribs" style shots at the end is becuase they wanted some nice shots of the cars. I love driving the Pantera and the Lotus but more the Pantera. Sweet cars. Well here are the pics.



Process:

Wash-GC soap, Dry with WW

Tire dressing-Auto Magic magic dressing

Windows-Auto Magic glass cleaner

Interior-Z-10(Absolutely love the smell), Auto Magic dress it on panels(no pics)

BEFORE:

The house and shop.....VERY NICE!!!!

Nice reflection shot, you can see the Lotus in the GT 500 and the GT 500 in the reflection of the Lotus. Pretty cool.

Yeah, plus he has another Mustang cobra, a Pantera race car, Mustang race car(both race cars are on lifts in his shop), and another Pantera rolling chassi(spell). He does well for himself to say the least. Great people that didnt let money go to their head.
 
Very nice collection! A good friend of my dads had a Pantera when I was a kid, talk about a treat going for a ride in that!
 
Cool collection of cars, but the gravel driveway? :think: With that much obvious jack, you would think they would pave it.



Must be nice to have a GT500 as your beater :bow

Maybe he hasn't gotten to it yet, maybe waiting for spring, maybe he's trying to pay down the mortgage a little first (that's a lot of driveway to pave), maybe the road he lives on is dirt so it doesn't make that much difference...
 
Why do some people own such nice cars (and alot of them sometimes) but yet they live on a dirt road. You could never keep them clean, as soon as you drive them they are dirty again.

Actually I dont know why he hasnt, the road to his house isnt dirt and the house and land and everything basically is paid for already(LUCKY). I dont know, to each their own.



And yes jar2187 there is a piece or two missing off the front bumper of the lotus. He hit something, I don't know what but something.



Thanks everyone.
 
The other pic was zoomed in this one isnt and there is still about 50ft or more to the gate so yeah, its a lot to pave.

Wow, I remember seeing one at a L-M dealer in the early 70's, according to Wiki they were imported (by Ford) as '72-'75 models (some gray-market later). It's amazing how fresh it looks, I guess because it was before the 5-mph bumpers, so it kind of looks like the integrated low-mph bumpers now. With the current wheels/tires (and the wash ;) ), it almost looks like a brand new car.

Some people just like to own them and drive them and are not too concerned about having clean cars. I see two cars around me often in the snow and salt covered roads..a new Selby GT and a NSX. It drives me nuts too but as long as they enjoy them. ;) However, I think I would trade my paved driveway for that property anyway, no matter what car I owned. LOL
