Great story. Pretty sure the red 67 is Chris Browns (RIP) former car when Jerry did a photoshoot in Tulsa, around 2010 or so??
Nope.  The red 67 that Jerry recently bought was a barn find that had been apart since the early 80's. All of the info is there in the video.

Bob, I'm not talking about the one Jerry just bought, talking about the red one in the pics. The background etc looks like the same area where he did the photoshoot of Chris's car for a magazine.
No big deal either way, looks great!

I have been watching. I think old Jerry is getting an education.

Cant wait to see how it ends up.

I offered to sell him a correct top and bottom air cleaner and he wanted to pay about 1/3 the current price of one.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

Funny because he had a few extra parts he wanted to sell (intake and a few other things
)and he was about market price times 2.

I'm sure when he wants to sell but the other way around when he wants to buy.

Im sure there is some financial realizations setting in. Doing this to a car today is a six figure deal, anyway you slice it. Wish him the best.

I just saw his finished car in person when I dropped mine off.  It's awesome.  Very nice!

Congratulations Jerry! Its great to see one restored and document it for us all to see as well! Helps keep the hobby going! Seems like he really deserves the car and I hope he enjoys it. Hoping everyone keeps the hobby strong chipping in helping source parts and helping each other in general, thats what the cars were about and should still be about making friend helping your buddy finish and find his dream car. Life is short lets not forget what the cars are about and for. Cant wait to see the photos of the finished car here!
