It was reported that this Merc will be at the Detroit Auto Rama. I guess it will be making the rounds on the show scene again.

I do know there are more V12 Auburn boat tail Roadsters than the factory produced. That is not the only cloned car as other high end cars have been rebuilt from the parts of wrecked originals( as stated on the forum before) ending up with 2 of the same car. Ohio did not require insurance until the late 80's by law, if I remember correctly. MY point, per the show once the car left the dealership there is no known trail of the car. It could have been wrecked or stolen and IF the car was not insured it was the owners loss. Yes back then even into the 70's you could buy a car on credit without insurance. They could also know the Number of the Missing Shelby from the area and playing that up.

Thank you for the answer Charlie. I am enjoying another one of your builds.

Did the military go with soft top trucks for transportation over seas.

If it fits in the rules or not this is going to be cool.

Good question Mike. First I seen this myself. He was a good driver.

Awesome.

Buying this car is like buying Art. Some like it some of don't. But if enough like it, this price goes up. Strange how many auto's have become to valuable to do what they were created for.

I agree with Micro Mark also. Shipping to you guys up there is killer anymore. To ba you can't take the spring from one and put it on the other one.

What the.... is going on. 65 way to young.

Yes that is an Automatic trans. The rear brake lines run to the center of the rear end normally with a rubber line dropped down then out to the rear brakes with solid axle cars/trucks. I could be wrong but every wheel cylinder I have seen were all on the top, so I say top for the brake lines.

Nice work Tom.

Another well done model from your bench. Great subject.

Claude this is awesome. Great idea. I think you are correct about the other Gremlin.

Great price for that body. The last 2 post cover this perfectly. After your move you can figure out what you are doing with it. If not send me a PM.
