Lovely 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop – Chevy called them “Sport Coupes” – in Buda, Texas, at the relocated Murphos hot rod fab shop.
To me, this 1964 GTO is the first muscle car, although there were many others before that could be called that. Has 389 cu. in. V8 with 325 h.p.
Custom 1951 Mercury Tudor Sedan with LS2 engine, 1949 Buick Roadmaster taillights and rear bumper, grille from 1953 Desoto, front bumper from 1949 Mercury, with bags to lift it off the road. The seats are from a 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan upholstered by Sean Johnston, owner of Fat Luckys.
