1/12th scale 1:1 Replica 1965 Pro Low Vette

[Mr.1/16th]

Hello from San Diego California!! This is my 1:1 1/12th scale replica of my friends Vette built back in the early 90’s when low Rod land street rods were hitting hard on the streets. Had a chance to finally get in contact and meet Steve Gantz from a email that was given to me off a post on instagram from someone posting the Vette! He had the email and passed it on to me and I got a phone call from Steve in a few short minutes from my email. When it hit the street and was in the magazine I had found out on EBay the Vette was up for sale on auction and I bid on it! My dad and I are big fans of the Vette and wanted to buy it so we could Cruz it here in San Diego. $140k was my last bid and 5 seconds away from owning my dream car and got sniped out by a $145k bid and the last two seconds was the last I seen as I was out bid! 😡😡😡😡 long story short it was sold again to Dan Patron and is now called “SERIO” Steve has been helping me with any and all information on the build he did on the Vette and gave me a hand full of magazines texted me pictures and videos so I can build it exactly 1:1 😎 so here is what I have so far in 1/12th scale replica that will grace his home  as a gift from Me “SoCalInc and Pual Mendoza along with Lindsey Tuft of Design Machine “

Found out that he was published in all these magazines and he sent me copies of everyone for me to keep! Steve is a true Hot Rodder at heart and has been helping me with my 1:1 replicas along the way!

i've still got this one around here somewhere if you want pics of the feature. this magazine was also my only source of model features as a kid and i used to order cheap kits from a small ad in the back. no pics then, just a name and a price list

Hell yeah if you can find it! Thank you!
