Thank you for sharing these incredible pieces of Supercar history next month. Too many of these cars are hidden away in private collections, never to be seen.

Do you have any future plans to show these cars again at other venues for those of us who can't make it to Amelia Island this year?

Again, thanks to you and all others on this Board who bring their cars out for all to enjoy. Your generosity is appreciated by many!!!! Jim

Here's a rear quarter shot. Note the NOS Cure Rides (Super-Bite suspension), one of the last sets JR had. The Torque Thrusts are the ones that were on the car when it left L.I.(15x8.5 backs 14x6 fronts); original GT mirrors. Multiple additional performance options beyond the PhaseIII SS-427 package. Car originally had a set of "Indy" red lines on it.

The original hood flew off the car at a high rate of speed on a highway outside of El Paso. This was made from the actual original mold by Joel Rosen in the early 90's

The car was ordered with nineteen RPO options including power windows and 8-track. This is the original series 500 steering wheel from MP.

I restored the car to exact original specifications based on Joel Rosens' handwritten order invoice dated Nov 11,1968 and original photos of the car. Many of the Motion Performance parts are the last from Joel Rosens' personal inventory-all are true NOS.
I would like to thank Fred Eichorst, Joe Guerra, Bruce Hershberger and Phil Wojnarowski, all of whom were highly instrumental in the completion of this car. I also suspect Mockingbird and Xplantdad really never thought the car existed-
