Reply to "GT5-S crash rebuild"

Hi Kirk ,

indeed.. i found in the car's documents that the car was send to Auto Exotica by Shelby Automotive for smog equiqment ( all removed now ) and this was confirmed (???? ) by Kirk Evans, pre Amerisport . Smiler (quote)



The smog info car was Carroll's GTS converted in 85 right after Carlini's GT5 and we were just starting the GT5-S assembly program with 9381. The GTS was later converted into a turbo charged Chrysler powered BEAST!. I think I've told the ride story his driver gave me on there 1/8 mile test track in California ---OMG--- I had my own twin turbo test Pantera there and on the track which was quite 935 turbo Porsche fast but no where near the GTS Chrysler turbo warp 9 fast.



Your car has far more history with AmeriSport inc. In those early days I made many trips to DC getting educated to properly file all of the necessary documents needed to be an automobile manufacture in the US or A.



Maybe I should tell some of the fun and not so fun stories of those days---where would I post something like this George? You don't have a "OMG what was I thinking" or maybe "days of grandeur" category. We all could post on those.

AAAAAAA memory lane. Lot's of stories about those years and what might have been.
