    unique performance. The guy is Doug Hasty
    They built one car for Paul Snr from OCC. They then built I think 3 cars that they took to shows etc getting orders and deposits.
    All the time they were buying every 67 mustang they could, driving the price through the roof.
    They then cut and shut, changed car vins, ids, title washing ( what they got charged with) etc.
    Never delivered any cars or paid bills etc so down they went.

    The repair rate must be cheap when you think shipping alone would be about $5000.

    Is the problem that now everyone is out to make a million rather than a living?

    No, but is tax free. It is between Penang and Phuket. No street hawkers, ladyboys etc. Quiet, beautiful and cheap. Google it!

    You can make an excuse for anything if you want to flip a classic car then bloody do it. Fyi most ppl in the states Lose money after restoring a car... I think you secretly want to be a car salesman. Who builds These cars to make a profit?
