Keep us posted Doc, if he does, I’m sure we could drum up some business for him. Lol. I know I’d be a candidate for sure.
Coolest thing(s) I've seen in awhile.

The hatch is a bit Too long for me, other than that, I like it, mercury, didn’t want to compete with the fastback Mustang is my guess.

I’m guessing a Van top migrated onto the bed?

Only speculating here, but that looks like a fairly professional conversion. I've read of companies in the states, during this era and earlier that made single cab trucks into four door trucks. Perhaps this was another of their offerings. The more I look at it, the more I get an International Harvester travelall vibe.

"I thought I would put it out back on a far corner of the property as a man cave to possibly get away from the wife."
I would be interested in his prints if he does sell.
I tried and tried and tried to buy the prints from artist. Crickets. No response. Then I just printed a copy my way to add to my garage wall. I tried.
looks great
Do you have a link to the photos of his drawings of the Imperial? I found his pages, but have not located the Imperial drawings.
I came across his work on instagram intially...he has alot of work. I sifted thru it all to find the Imperials.

Was upstate on Thursday and Friday picking up my daughter from college, she came back down with a friend of her so I was on my own traveling the back roads, came across this black 78, knocked on the owners door and was there for almost an hour chitchatting. Not what I would do with one of our beloved Cbodys. But to each their own. The car had burgundy interior and no body rust, but a lot of rust under the black vinyl top. Engine compartment was completely stripped of everything, including cruise control, all air-conditioning components, condenser
coil dryer, nothing but a built-up 440. He pulled the 270’s out and put 311s back in hence the smoky burn out. I couldn’t do that with my car if I jacked the wheels off the ground. Lol.
Cant attach the video.. dammit.

It's proudly covering up the caddy!
Black over burgundy is my favourite combe on the formal NYBs. Thanks for the find

Yeah, the caddy is a 76, use it just like he does in New Yorker, for smoky burnouts and cruise nights.

This car was originally commissioned by Carroll Shelby as a potential successor to the Ford GT40. Power was provided by a Shelby American prepped Boss 302 V8, which produced 250 hp. It’s believed that just one example was ever built - De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby MkV
